Ducks Acquire Christensen from Thrashers

Just hours after losing Brendan Morrison to the Dallas Stars via waivers, the Anaheim Ducks acquired center Eric Christensen from the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for prospect center Eric O'Dell. The Ducks were rumored to be looking to trade some veteran players by the deadline in an effort to retool and get younger and more competitive. In 47 games this season, Christensen has five goals and 14 assists for 19 points. He was traded to the Thrashers last season at the deadline by Pittsburgh for Marian Hossa. Christensen will bring plenty of offensive depth and offensive potential to the rebuilding Ducks. O'Dell, who was a second round pick of the Ducks last season, has plenty of offensive potential that can help the Thrashers in the future as they rebuild their team.
