To Dallas: Devante Smith-Pelly, Jason Blake, and Anaheim's Third Round Pick in 2012
To Anaheim: Michael Ryder, Toby Petersen
Michael Ryder was obviously having a nice year in Dallas, but with a new owner and a commitment to rebuilding the team Dallas decided to move him.
Obviously the key to this deal was getting Devante Smith-Pelly. He fits GM Joe Nieuwendyk's vision for this team perfectly, and he'll play well in Coach Gulutzen's system.
GM Joe Nieuwendyk may announce 2 more trades today depending on two players decision to waive a NTC.
