The Ducks added the offensive piece they sorely needed Friday with the trade for right wing Patrick Eaves of the Dallas Stars.
In exchange, Anaheim sent Dallas a conditional second-round draft pick this year, originally acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Frederik Andersen trade.
The selection would turn into a first-round pick if the Ducks advance to the Western Conference final and, according to Sportsnet of Canada, if Eaves plays in half of Anaheim’s games in the first two rounds.
Eaves, 32, is considered a bargain pickup with a $1 million salary cap that was desirable for the Ducks because they are tight against the cap.
