ARTYUKHIN TO ATLANTA
The Atlanta Thrashers acquired winger Evgeny Artyukhin from the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman Nathan Oystrick and a conditional draft pick in 2011.
What does it give the Atlanta Thrashers
The Thrashers add a ton of size up front with the addition of Artyukhin, who'll probably play a fourth-line role in Atlanta. He may finally be ready to find his niche at the NHL level.
What does it give the Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks grew tired of Artyukhin's penchant for taking bad penalties at the wrong time. So, they moved him out and added a depth defenseman in Oystrick. They'll also receive a conditional draft pick in this deal.
