COOKE FOR PETTINGER
The Washington Capitals acquired winger Matt Cooke from the Vancouver Canucks for winger Matt Pettinger.
What does it give the Washington Capitals
Cooke is a gritty grinder who is has also morphed into a dependable veteran
and agitator type over the past few years. He is the type of player who can
help the Caps get to the next level with his intense play.
What does it give the Vancouver Canucks
Pettinger was a 2nd-round draft choice as recently as 2000, so he may still
have a little untapped offensive potential. He is a physical guy with good
size, and the finesse-first Vancouver offense can use a player like that.
