Wonder if this trade happened because dotchin cleared waivers.

Clears out a contract.

Ducks were at 48 out of 50 max after the Dotchin and Ritchie signings.

Hults upside is questionable. Guess Tampa needed forward depth in the AHL.

Hults is a fine forward for San Diego. Don't understand this trade.

Well it also makes room for Blandisi, Terry and others who will be demoted once the injured Ducks return.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Aww. Bye, Mitch.

 

[cheesymc]

Why, cause his brother is a King? Because we signed Dotchin? So wierd... should have just given them Dostie/Soy.

I think this is for dotchin once he cleared.

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).
