I'd be "lying" if I said I wasn't upset with wasting my time reading this entire thread. Or would that be lip service? 
Confirmed with Link: Tim Erixon traded to Chicago for Jeremy Morin

"that chick from Ohio"
Hey, you were the one who insisted that I explicitly spell it out for you. If you can't comprehend that someone saying one thing and doing another fundamentally constitutes a lie on the part of that somebody, then you've got worse problems.
I would be perfectly happy to accept that conclusion at face value if it weren't for the fact that you apparently so thoroughly distrust their evaluation as to have predetermined that there must be some random somebody that one merely needs to reach out and take, and that not doing so cannot possibly be an indication of those folks in the know concluding "we know these guys won't help, they suck", or "this guy would help, but they're asking for Boone Jenner, that's insane" (or whatever), but instead must be indication that Kekalainen and friends are lazy and/or insufficiently competent and/or slow, any and all other possible and/or more probable explanations be damned.
In a scenario that's widely viewed as near-impossibly difficult for any GM, you're deliberately putting the worst possible spin on the situation, possibly because all that frustration from losing had to go somewhere and Kekalainen - reasonable or otherwise - is a handy available target.

This quote may calm some of the "do nothings."

General manager Jarmo Kekalainen said his phone was ringing almost hourly, with offers from his peers that were, in some cases, high comedy. (Picture his fellow GMs on the other end of the line, smiling like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. “Now,” Kekalainen said, with his own sinister smile, “the phone’s not ringing quite as often.”)

Looks like we will get our first glimpse of Morin tonight. Rychel sent to Springfield this morning. It will take a few games to form judgment but hopefully this is a positive move for the cbj.

Jim Morin turns out to be cousin of J.D. Forrest who played under Grandmaster Kekäläinen's command in Jokerit! 2010-11!

Morin is playing pretty much the way I thought he would. He's an NHL player, nothing special at the moment. A Top 9 player.

Just post better
They're cousins. It says it right there
This makes me happy.

RIP Fugu
So with nice chunk of games how are you guys liking Morin?
Erixon is nothing special and is #7 defender here. Honestly I would like to see him waived and kid or vet via trade in that role

He's a fine middle-sixer. Pretty good possession player. Obviously has a good shot but hasn't used it that often.
