CLARK TO WASHINGTON
The Washington Capitals acquired winger Chris Clark from the Calgary Flames for a conditional draft pick in 2006.
What does it give the Washington Capitals
The Capitals' first move post-lockout is a minor one. Clark should play a regular role on the third line, kill penalties and provide both leadership and energy to the Washington lineup. However, he's far from a spectacular acquisition.
What does it give the Calgary Flames
The Flames no longer had room for Clark at right wing, following the acquisition of Darren McCarty and Tony Amonte (who will probably be shifted to left wing). Therefore, the Flames did well to secure a future draft pick--no matter the round.
