CORMIER FOR ZIMMERMAN

The New Jersey Devils acquired winger Kevin Cormier from the Phoenix Coyotes for defenseman Sean Zimmerman.

What does it give the New Jersey Devils
Cormier has a chance to become New Jersey's primary enforcer down the road. For now, the 22-year-old needs more AHL seasoning.

What does it give the Phoenix Coyotes
Zimmerman is a potential bottom-pairing blueliner for the Coyotes. The 21-year-old should spend the 2008-09 campaign with the AHL's San Antonio Rampage.
