Sharks Add Moen, Huskins at Trade Deadline

The San Jose Sharks added some toughness to their lineup on Wednesday by acquiring left wing Travis Moen and defenseman Kent Huskins from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for prospect center Nick Bonino, prospect goaltender Timo Pielmeier, and a conditional draft pick. The Sharks had been rumored to looking to add a gritty player to their team at the deadline. In 63 games this season, Moen has four goals and seven assists for 11 points and 77 penalty minutes. Huskins, who currently on injured reserve with a broken right foot, has played in 33 games, scoring two goals and four assists for six points and 27 penalty minutes. Moen and Huskins give the Sharks plenty of toughness and gritty play at their respected positions. Moen's role as a shutdown player will be very valuable to the Sharks in the playoffs. Bonino is a highly touted forward who could fit in nicely with the Ducks, while Pielmeier gives them another prospect goaltender.
