| Big NHL Trade final day of the season ..
The Score:
The Score’s Steve Ludzik has learned that the Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Chris Pronger to the Los Angeles Kings for D Jack Johnson and the 5th overall pick in the upcoming draft.
Interesting trade for both teams. We saw how much better Edmonton and Anaheim were with Pronger on board, and with the Kings young core, Pronger is sure to bring needed stability and presence to the blue line. However, it’s a hefty price for the Kings to pay, giving up the fifth pick, and a former third overall pick in Johnson. The Ducks now have a core of Perry, Getzlaf, Ryan, Whitney and Johnson—all of whom are 26 or younger. Scary! Plus, there will still be some great prospects left on the board at number five, which will only add to their outstanding group of young talent.
