Evgeny Artyukin to the Anaheim Ducks for Drew Miller and a draft pick

More payroll flexibility...

...for the Bolts that is.

meh, minor move at best, unless these are the start of the swirling dominoes, for which I will never tell

Artyukhin can actually be an effective little big player. In the right situation he can put up 15 goals and 30 assists. Not to mention his 200 PIM's.

I don't think Anaheim will stick him on the 2nd line though. Look what Philly did with Hartnell and Gretzky did with Carcillo (until his act wore thin).

Artyukhin can be a smaller bigger version of them. Not quite as effective as those guys, but close.

The Ducks liked Miller. You never know.

i really liked miller not sure why this trade was done to save 400 k for the bolts who already have 4.5M in space

I seen that, is that 100% HH?

i assume you mean the money now after the trade the bolts have ~5m in space artyukin is getting paid 950K i believe and miller was making 525K

4M space left in ANA
10M in space TB Capgeek numbers used.....capcentral said 5m for tb

Good trade for the Ducks actually. This guy has his moments - and he'll be able to run rampant in the West.

:p ... big boy that Artyukin eh? tampa obviously thinks he's another belak .,..

:^^^^: Belak's kick arse.

Man that's all the Ducks needed, another 6'4" power forward

:^^^^: Yeah really.

Are you driving somewhere with that? Anaheim has $4M and that's including carrying 13 forwards and 7 D. They can shave another $800K+ by sending Sbisa or Mikkelson (both on two-ways) to the minors. Still not enough to get in on the Heatley sweepstakes. I tried Bobby Ryan for Heatley to see if that works, not even close. They need to do something with that $6M backup they have.

He's one of those frustrating players that I've always found intriguing. He shows flashes of absolute dominance. I think he's proven already that his potential will never be realized, unfortunately.

If only he had hands.
