The director general of the Ducks, Pat Verbeek, takes advantage of his Thursday. Earlier this morning, he exchanged defender Brian Dumoulin to the Devils of New Jersey for a second round choice and Prospect Herman Träff.
The Ducks having only six defenders on their active list, Verbeek came out and acquired Oliver Kylington from the New York Islanders in exchange for future considerations. Kylington was negotiated by the Colorado avalanche at the New York Icelanders less than an hour ago in the Brock Nelson Deal.
Kylington signed an agreement of one year and $ 1,050,000 with the avalanche last summer after spending its first seven seasons in the NHL with the Calgary flames. He only played in 13 games this season due to an upper body injury, but was in the Avalanche range for their last four games.
Mobile mug with decent roller skills, the acquisition of Kylington will provide the Ducks with a seventh defender who can occasionally. It is a risk -free decision since there was no cost to acquire it and his contract is at the end of the season.
