Senators acquire Stalberg from Hurricanes for playoff push
by from on (#2E944)
The Ottawa Senators have acquired winger Viktor Stalberg from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2017 draft, the clubs announced Tuesday.
In Stalberg, the Senators add more forward depth, which was also addressed Monday when general manager Pierre Dorion traded for longtime Canucks winger Alex Burrows.
The Hurricanes, meanwhile, are well outside the playoff picture, but with the extra draft selection have now accrued an astounding seven picks in the first three rounds of the 2017 draft.
In 57 games this season, Stalberg's recorded 12 points. He'll be an unrestricted free agent July 1.
