Doug Weight has been traded to the Hurricanes for (last I heard) Mike Zigomanis, Jessie Boulerice, and some picks. There is a rumor it may be part of a larger trade, so more could be coming. It won't be made official until the NHL Conference Call later today. This is awesome for us. For one, Weight had to waive a no-trade clause to come here, so he figured this is one of his best chances to win the cup this year. Awesome indeed!The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired Doug Weight and 27-year-old Finnish forward Erkki Rajamaki from the St. Louis Blues.
In exchange, Carolina gave to the Blues three draft picks and three players. The package includes:
- Carolina's first-round pick in 2006.
- Toronto's fourth-round pick in 2006, previously acquired by the Hurricanes.
- Chicago's fourth-round pick in 2007, previously acquired by the Hurricanes.
- Tough guy forward Jesse Boulerice, a 27-year-old eighth-year pro
- Forward Mike Zigomanis, a 25-year-old fifth-year pro
- Magnus Kahnberg, 25, an unsigned Carolina draftee from Sweden who will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1
