Ottawa management announce a trade with the San Jose Sharks.
Acquired by Ottawa
Dan Boyle, $4.7m (2013-2016)
Minor Leaguer RW - Danny Kristo (2008: 2/56 - 0 Games)
Shipped to San Jose
Michael Del Zotto, $4.6m (2012-2015)
Maxim Lapierre, $1.6m (2013-2016)
We felt a veteran defenseman like Boyle would help our club stay ahead of the play-off pack. To balance out the deal a little we re-acquire Minor League prospect Danny Kristo.
Michael Del Zotto is young and very talented but underachieving this year and was someone the Sharks had asked about in the past. Lapierre was added to sweeten the pot and is eligible at Center and RW.
Good working with you Burke!
