The two teams hooked up on another deal within hours seeing the ducks become legit playoff contenders and the thrashers look to the future. The Ducks brought in highly sought after ufa puck moving defenseman Brian Leetch, the thrashers recieved farm players byron ritche and mark streit.

thrashers oganization might be sending the wrong message to the fans tonight moving key veterns Brian Leetch, Brian Smolinski, Keith Carney, but the teams g.m shuck had this to say about the deals, "moving the three key players on our teams push for the cup was hard but with the team slumping lately the team felt it was best to act now and beat the deadline blitz and move some of our veterns now, we really like the upside of streit tho and the pik we recieved earlier was the key to that deal. Our team had traded out of the second round a week or so ago and felt it was key to aquire a 2nd rounder back to establish some youth to our organization."
