Ducks Bruins trade Jeffrey Viel to Ducks for 4th round pick

Looks like the Ducks are buyers

Bruins were only at 45/50 contracts so lots of space there.

But were at 23/23 on the roster...so potentially did need roster space

Yeah, just looked and they're at 22 now. So instead of waiving a guy they get a 4th rounder. If that was the move.

It seems to me that getting a 4th round pick for a 29 year old AHL player is difficult to turn down.

Now that the Viel domino has fallen, the Rasmus deal can proceed. Understandably the availability of Jeffrey Viel was a major distraction for GMs across the league. Glad that is now out of the way.

I prefer Veal to o viel personally.

I didn't even know who this guy was. After viewing his profile on hockeydb...I wonder why is Anaheim giving up anything for this guy.

Anaheim is becoming a pretty beefy team. They could be a hard out in the playoffs over the next couple of years (and even this year if they sneak in).

I guess when you see that the 3rd yielded Matteson Iacopelli in the Bollig deal..you make a fair point.

4th rounders are the new 3rd rounders.
