After leaving many to wonder if Edmonton general manager, Peter Chiarelli, would do anything all day, it seems he did, in fact, make an okay trade.
The Oilers sent F Patrick Maroon to the New Jersey Devils for F J.D. Dudek and a 2019 3rd round pick at Monday’s trade deadline. As a result of the trade, the Edmonton Oilers now have three picks in next year’s 3rd round.
Maroon, 29, has 14 goals and 16 assists (30 points) this season in 57 games with Edmonton. He’s coming off a career year with 27-15–42 totals in 81 games last season in his first-full season with the Oilers.
The 6’3″, 225-pound forward is a native of St. Louis Missouri and has 75 goals and 90 assists (165 points) in 358 career NHL games with the Oilers and Anaheim Ducks since making his NHL debut in the 2011-12 season.
Originally drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 6th round (161st overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Maroon has 12-14–26 totals in 42 career Stanley Cup Playoff games.
He is a pending-UFA this July.
Dudek, 22, has yet to appear in an NHL game. He has six goals and 11 assists (17 points) in 33 games for Boston College this season– his third season of Hockey East, NCAA competition.
A native of Derry, New Hampshire, the 5’11”, 185-pound center was originally drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the 6th round (152nd overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Today– Monday, February 26, 2018 for those of you who have yet to look at a calendar– is the annual NHL Trade Deadline. All 31 NHL teams have until 3:00p ET to get their trade calls into the league office before they can get approved (or rejected).
