Well the shoe finally dropped. We knew the change had to come. We knew it all along; if for no other reason than there was a log jam on defense. In a real head scratcher move, the team chose to keep 9 defensemen on the roster at the start of the season. So to try and fix some very poor financial and personnel decision Erik Gudbranson to the Anaheim Ducks for winger Andreas Martinsen and a 7th round draft pick.
Yes, I know I am a bit late on this one. The news is rather old.
