1st one: The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired wingers Kyle Wanvig and Stephen Baby from the Atlanta Thrashers on Thursday in exchange for defenceman Andy Delmore and winger Andre Deveaux.
Wanvig, 26, has five goals and nine assists in 64 career NHL games. This season in the AHL he had 10 goals and 11 assists with the Chicago Wolves.
Baby, 27, had one goal and two assists in eight games with the Wolves this season.
The 30-year-old Delmore had 24 points (12-12) in 47 games with the AHL's Springfield Falcons this season. The former North Bay Centennials junior has 101 points (43-58) in 283 career NHL games with Philadelphia, Nashville, Buffalo and Columbus.
Deveaux, a former Montreal Canadiens sixth-round draft pick in 2002, had one goal and two assists in eight games with the Falcons this season as well as six goals and eight assists in 21 games with the ECHL's Johnstown Chiefs.
Hockey Guy Notes: Great depth by both teams and none of these players will see time this year!
2nd deal: The Boston Bruins have traded defenceman Milan Jurcina to the Washington Capitals for a fourth round pick.
In 40 games with the Bruins this season, Jurcina has two goals and one assist and a -5 rating. In 91 career NHL games Jurcina has eight goals and six assists.
''This acquisition is consistent with what we are trying to accomplish,'' Capitals GM George McPhee said in a statement. ''Milan Jurcina is a young guy with some growth potential. We expect that he will help our penalty kill right away and we look forward to seeing how else he can help us in the long term.''
Jurcina, who is earning $500,000 this season, will become a restricted free agent on July 1.
Hockey Guy Notes: You can tell this was rookie GM deal, boston should have gotton more!
