Dazzle Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Penguins Acquire Forward Spencer Machacek from Columbus in Exchange for Paul Thompson The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Spencer Machacek from the Columbus Blue Jackets for Paul Thompson, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero. Machacek will report to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League (AHL). Machacek, 25, has played in 34 games this season with the Springfield Falcons of the AHL, collecting nine goals and 19 points. His nine goals placed third on the team. A 6-foot-1, 195-pound forward, Machacek has skated in 25 NHL games with the Winnipeg Jets and Atlanta Thrashers, collecting nine points (2G-7A). Machacek most recently skated in 13 games with the Jets in 2011-12, when he collected all nine of his NHL points. The Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada native was originally drafted by the Thrashers in the third round (67th overall) of the 2007 NHL Draft. Machacek has played six AHL seasons with the Chicago Wolves, St. John’s IceCaps and Springfield, tallying 258 points (107G-151A) in 393 regular-season contests and 19 points (7G-12A) in 30 playoff games. Machacek was an AHL All-Star in 2010-11 when he established AHL career highs in goals (21), assists (32) and points (53) in 67 games with the Chicago Wolves. Prior to turning pro, Machacek helped the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League (WHL) win a Memorial Cup championship in 2006-07. He served as the Giants’ team captain in ’07-08.

Rypien37 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I remember when Machacek was captain with the Giants. Solid heart and soul type player. In his last stint with the Jets 2 seasons ago he put up 9 points in 13 games. Hasn't played since....no idea why.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLemming Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Machacek really impressed me during his call up with the Jets whenever that was. Thought they were idiots for trading him. Hopefully he does well in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanBeef Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The Canucks should get Machacek so he can convince Lucic to come to the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metroneck Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I don't get it, the OP starts a 'Trade' thread that has some local ties, in the appropriate section, labels it minor, yet gets some grief. What is the protocol here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Lucic-Bliznak-Machacek was a legendary Giants line. I always joked that Bliznak would become a Slovakian legend playing for the Canucks. Was pretty ecstatic when he scored his goal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
