Ducks Acquire Jaffray from Flames for MacMillan
The Anaheim Ducks continued to be busy on Wednesday night by acquiring center Jason Jaffray from the Calgary Flames in exchange for center Logan MacMillan. Jaffray played in three games with the Flames last season, scoring no points. He also appeared in 72 games with Abbotsford of the AHL, scoring 25 goals and 29 assists for 54 points and 70 penalty minutes. In seven games last season Abbotsford, MacMillan scored no points. He also appeared in 30 games with Bakersfield of the ECHL, scoring two goals and four assists for six points. This is really just a depth move for both teams. Jaffray doesn't have much upside, but gives the Ducks a solid minor leaguer and a versatile forward who can play both center and wing in case of injuries. The Flames get the player with more upside in this deal, but MacMillan has struggled to put up decent numbers over the past couple of seasons. Perhaps the change in scenery will help him improve his game, as the Flames are looking for more offense up front.
