Ducks Acquire 1st Round Pick!
According to TSN.ca, the Anaheim Ducks have acquired a first round pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning for Defenseman Shane O’brien. This deal helps Tampa Bay this year, giving them a little depth in defense, but only benefits anaheim next year. Personally, this move doesn’t make much sense considering they’re going for the cup this year and the extra defenseman would help their cause in case of injury.
However, on the flip side, this might be build up and they might use this 1st round pick for another trade. Either way, it seems Brian Burke is deeply invovled in the transfer market … Although they’re small moves, it’s clear he has a plan (just not sure what that plan is)
