Ducks acquire 1st rounder from Lightning

The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenceman Shane O'Brien and a third round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for minor-league goaltender Gerald Coleman and a first round pick.
The deal gives the Ducks a first round pick that could be used to add an asset before Tuesday's trade deadline. Last summer, the Ducks traded their first round pick to the Edmonton Oilers to acquire defenceman Chris Pronger.
This season, O'Brien has scored two goals and added 12 assists while amassing 140 minutes in penalties. The Port Hope, Ontario native was drafted in the eighth round of the 2003 Enty Draft and re-signed as a restricted free agent last summer.
Coleman was drafted in the seventh round of the 2003 Entry Draft and has yet to appear in an NHL game.

Hockey Guy Notes: what a weird trade, this first rounder will get trade again by tuesday!
