Adrian Aucoin and a 7th round pick go to Calgary for Andrei Zyuzin and prospect Steve Marr... a deal that was finalized this morning. A pair of defensemen get swapped in the deal and the Flames gain an experienced North American defenseman with a big $4 million contract for Zyuzin, a European defenseman that never seemed to fit in the Flames system.
Statistically, Aucoin managed to put up 16 points in an injury-filled season where he played only 59 games. A healthy Aucoin could be a big asset to the Flames power play, as he's known for having quite a big shot from the point. Zyuzin on the other hand only managed 6 points in 49 games.
Both players should do better in their new surroundings, hopefully seeing more games than what they did last season.
