Further research reveals this gem...
"Darren Lynch was acquired in March, 2006 from the Las Vegas
Wranglers for Ty Morris. Lynch is in his 2nd year of
professional hockey."

Ya, i read that when the trade was done a few weeks back, found it kind of interesting, it was a 3 way deal

I try and keep an eye on the former giants to see how they are progressing

Good luck to all the guys

Not sure how this works..but
Courchaine, after leading his Ice Pilots in scoring, gets the call up to Houston. Has a blah 10 games with them. Then gets sent down to Gwinnett (farm for Chicago) to finish the season...I assume to give him (and Gwinnett) a chance at the playoffs...Finished regular season with 2 assists in last 3 games.
Not sure how this playoff stockpiling is legal, as far as trade deadlines go....I guess with the ECHL being such a transient league, the rules are lenient.
Good Luck to Couchaineon the road to the Kelly...

Let's keep our fingers crossed for Meszaros....with only 3 games left he is still in the top spot in +/- this year with a +37(tied with Roszival). If he can keep up this display of defensive fortitude, he will be the 1st Rookie to ever accomplish this.

The Aeros "loaned" him to Gwinnett

I am not sure of the exact rules either, but this kinda stuff happens on a semi regular basis between the AHL and ECHL

Adam Courchaine (F)
