Well it also makes room for Blandisi, Terry and others who will be demoted once the injured Ducks return.
Why, cause his brother is a King? Because we signed Dotchin? So wierd... should have just given them Dostie/Soy.
Gotta believe Hults asked for this trade and the Ducks accommodated him. Think about it - the ducks have been decimated at forward and Hults is still buried in the AHL with no hope of being called up. Lots of young forwards in the pipeline who are slated ahead of him with Lundestrom possibly staying. If I were Hults, I'd ask for a move (not sure what Tampa's pipeline looks like).
