The Hurricanes have traded Kevin Adams to the Phoenix Coyotes for D-man Dennis Seidenberg.
Seidenberg, 25, has been a healthy scratch recently in Phoenix and was going to be even more expendible with the return of Nick Boynton sometime this week. With the Flyers and Coyotes combined, Seidenberg had 8 goals and 33 points in 158 NHL games.
I like this trade, especially for the Coyotes, who get a gritty veteran who can chip in from time to time. Unfortunately, this season with the Canes he only had 2 goals and 4 points in 35 games. Doesn't matter. I've always been a fan of Adams' play, and he will benefit a resurging Coyotes squad at center, and add a tonne of character and experience on and off the ice.
''With some uncertainly concerning when our injured defencemen will be able to return, we needed to make this move now,'' Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford said in a statement. ''Dennis will be a good fit for us on defence. We thank Kevyn for his good service during his years in Carolina.''
