In a very surprising maneuver, the Anaheim Ducks have traded young forward Andy McDonald to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for 36-year-old veteran Doug Weight, Michal Birner and a seventh-round draft pick. So what was the reasoning behind the move?
Last summer, the Blues’ foray into unrestricted free agency landed two players who have been critical to their turnaround, Paul Kariya and Keith Tkachuk. But the most critical factor in their revival has been the presence of John Davidson.
Sad as it was at the time, the firing of Kings coach Andy Murray in the spring of 2006 did accomplish one thing: it opened the field for his son, eventual King Brady Murray, to win a job on his own merits.
There's been quite a lot of turnover in the Central Division, but one thing's probably going to remain the same: Henrik Zetterberg's Red Wings will win the division and the Predators will reach the playoffs.
The Central Division has been shaken up quite a bit over the past few weeks, with high-profile free agents coming and going. And as a result, the power dynamic has been dramatically altered for 2007-08.
