CAULFIELD FOR NICKL

The Anaheim Ducks acquired forward Judd Caulfield from the Pittsburgh Penguins for defenseman Thimo Nickl.

What does it give the Anaheim Ducks
Big Caulfield has a chance to become a solid bottom-six forward at the NHL level. The Ducks will likely give him that opportunity.

What does it give the Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins are getting a defenseman who shoots right and has some puck-moving skills. This is not a bad gamble for Pittsburgh.
