A big time blockbuster has just occurred in Disney Land. The two new acquisitions of Radulov and Cammalleri have been sent flying to Minnesota. Those two youngsters will have great NHL careers that is no doubt. It was very hard to deal two great players but the Ducks seem to be used to sending guys all over the league. Going with them was high scoring D man Bryan/Brian? McCabe. The Wild wanted a shakeup to get them on a big time win streak and this could do the job.

In total, the deal shakes down like this:

To the Ducks:
Simon Gagne
Ryan Whitney
PJ Axelsson

To the Wild:
Bryan McCabe
Cammalleri
Alexandre Radulov

The Ducks are extremely happy to get two big time Canadians back in the deal. We look forward to the ever consistent Gagne and we are glad to add a franchise D man to the team in Whitney. Both are still young, on good contracts and rated high enough to make significant contributions to the team.

Ducks would like to thank Wild GM Grant for making these discussions very easy. The process was straightforward and a lot of fun. We look forward to more deals, it is always great to see GMs that aren't afraid to make gigantic trades which benefit both teams.

Overall the Ducks are ecstatic to get the players they got, but like any trade you have to give up a lot to get a lot. We feel that this trade is even right down the middle and the deciding factor was just personal preference of players. Ducks GM Ravi has been a huge fan of Gagne's play for years and had him #1 on his list to acquire.
