Ducks trade O'Donnell to Kings
The Anaheim Ducks continue unloading defensemen.
Four days after dealing Mathieu Schneider to Atlanta for salary-cap purposes, the Ducks on Tuesday traded fellow blue-liner Sean O'Donnell to the Los Angeles Kings for a 2009 conditional draft pick.
The 36-year-old O'Donnell recorded two goals, seven assists and 84 penalty minutes in 82 games with Anaheim last season, his second full campaign with the club. He helped the Ducks to the Stanley Cup championship in 2007, notching two assists and 10 penalty minutes in 21 postseason contests during their title run.
A sixth-round pick of Buffalo in 1991, O'Donnell is returning to the team with which he began his NHL career. The native of Ottawa debuted with the Kings in 1994-95 and remained with the club before being claimed by the Minnesota Wild in the 2000 expansion draft.
O'Donnell notched 12 goals, 59 assists and 799 penalty minutes in 381 games during his first stint with Los Angeles.
In 932 career games with the Kings, Wild, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, Phoenix Coyotes and Ducks, O'Donnell has collected 27 goals, 150 assists and 1,558 penalty minutes. The 6-3, 234-pounder has added six tallies, 16 points and 120 penalty minutes in 87 playoff contests.
Tuesday's trade is just the second between Los Angeles and Anaheim in the history of the franchises. The first was consummated in February, when the Kings sent goaltender Jean-Sebastien Aubin to the Ducks for a seventh-round draft pick
