The News TSN reports that winger Mike Brown was traded from the Ducks to the Maple Leafs for their fifth round pick on Saturday. The Ducks then selected Christopher Wagner of the EJCL. Our View Brown doesn't score many points, but he did manage 106 penalty minutes in 75 games last season. The Maple Leafs feel good about their current prospects and needed to add a player who could contribute to the team immediately. Still, Brown holds very little fantasy value.

Spezza likely to stay in Ottawa
Posted in Fantasy Hockey by SlapShot 548 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News The Ottawa Sun reports that despite looking for a trade partner for Jason Spezza, Senators GM Bryan Murray says that it appears that his center will be back next season. Spezza has a no-movement clause in his contract that kicks in on July 1. Our View Spezza probably can't be happy that his GM readily admits that he was trying to trade him, but he'll likely suit up for Ottawa again next season. In 60 games last year he piled up 57 points, including 24 on the power play. 13.9 percent of his shots reached the back of the net.

Posted in Fantasy Hockey by SlapShot 548 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News The Boston Herald reports that Marc Savard's limited no-trade clause allows him to be dealt to five teams following July 1. The team is believed to have made him available following the selection of Tyler Seguin with the No. 2 overall pick in last night's draft. Our View Savard was hampered by injury last season and managed only 33 points in 41 games a season ago. It's believed the teams he would allow a trade to are all on the East coast, particularly the northeast.
