Bates Dumped

Checking line center Shawn Bates has been moved to the Nords in a salary dump. The Ducks receive a 3rd round pick in return and clear up 4.20 in cap space. Thanks to the Nords and Cousin Rob for the deal.

Short Stay For Elias

Patrick Elias will be trading in his speedo for a six-shooter as the Ducks have sent the veteran winger and 1 Million in cap off to Dallas in exchange for winger Raffe Torres and dman Dmitri Kalinin.

Elias' stay was short with the Ducks after arriving in a deal with the Oilers. With the flip, the Ducks have turned JP Dumont, Bryan Allen and MA Pouliot into Stephen Weiss, Scotty Upshall, Raffe Torres and Dimitri Kalinin.

"I'm happy with the outcome of this flip." stated Ducks GM Shiver. "We end up turning two Roster players into four which we hope will help us improve this up coming year."
