Not familiar with Dudek - maybe he is some elite defensive center - but his stats aren't jumping out at me.
Chiarelli is determined to make the Oilers faster since he realized that making them big and strong and good in the corners wasn't successful. I guess that would be the main attraction of Dudek.
Underwhelming I think, so good on New Jersey.
I hope that Maroon does really well so that:
a) he stays in NJ / another team signs him in the off-season
b) Oilers have to really over-pay to get him back

Dudek probably won't be signed by the Oilers, by all accounts he was at the bottom of the New Jersey prospects list. But then again that might put him at the top of Edmonton's prospect list.
Basically Edmonton got a 3rd round pick next year and a nothing prospect for Maroon. Not a good return for their biggest trading chip heading into the deadline.
