A minor news item

A small news item relating to the Eagles today:

Free agent defenceman Collin Carwardine, who was brought in from Ontario on a practice tryout basis, has decided to return home after not having yet been offered a spot on the Screaming Eagles. This puts an end to speculation that this player was going to fill the void on the Eagle blueline that could occur should Charlie Pens be out for an extended period of time.

In other news, the Eagles host the Halifax Mooseheads tomorrow night in the seventh matchup of the season between the two teams. The season series is tied at 3-3, which is a mildly disappointing result for Cape Breton so far considering where these two teams are in the standings. For that reason, nothing short of a win should be expected for tomorrow night.

There are only six days remaining in the midseason trade period, and the Eagles have yet to make any moves of major significance. Speculation should be very high over these last six days, as fans expect to see one or two new impact additions, guys who are not only good players but also good fits, into Screaming Eagle uniforms.

Up next will be a preview of tomorrow night's game against the Mooseheads.

with the departure of Carwardine, one would think its safe to assume that there must be a trade in the works for a defenceman.

the cape breton screaming eagles need to soldify there position going into the playoffs which is expected to be a long run at the league title they must make a trade for a solid defenseman to quaterback the powerplay but not to give away half of the team just for one trade if they dont they will have to play with what they have now which is a very good team
