Small Morning Trade

To New JerseyAgeGP/MINPointsCap Hit
David McIntyre, F2200RFA

Looks like a pretty open & shut case on this trade, as the Anaheim Ducks wanted to go back to the Brian Burke model of managing and acquire yet another tough guy, since they have departed with Brad May earlier in the year. With Brookbank, they will have themselves an experienced pugilist, but at best he's only an occasional starter, as he's been a frequent occupant of the press box for the Devils. McIntyre is a diminutive forward completing his Junior year in NCAA hockey, which is why he remains unsigned. The Ducks probably ended up not wanting his 5'10" stature and decided to move him along.
