Trade! Anaheim -> Tampa Bay

*-> GM Bob Murray must know something more about Jonas Hiller as a day after telling the media he would not be looking at another goalie he went out and made a deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning traded Dan Ellis to the Anaheim Ducks for backup goalie Curtis McElhinney.

Not surprising that the Ducks went out and got a goalie despite Murrays words yesterday. Hiller could be on the shelf for quite some time and now with the addition of Dan Ellis the Ducks have a little insurance rather than rely on a career backup and a recovering Ray Emery. That being said for the Ducks, it must have been a cap clearing move.
