Habby1197 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Green Traded to Boston! http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=55966 "Just hours after claiming Travis Green off the waiver wire, the Columbus Blue Jackets traded him to the Boston Bruins in exchange for a sixth round pick. Green, who spent two years in Toronto, was place on waivers earlier this week along with forward Robert Reichel. Green's departure will free up $1.6 million in salary from the Leafs' payroll. In return, the Maple Leafs selected forward Petr Tenkrat, an unsigned, Group II restricted free agent, whom Columbus was forced to expose after taking Green. Green was drafted by New York Islanders in 1989 (23rd overall) and spent time in Anaheim and Phoenix before coming to Toronto. In 2002-03, Green recorded 12 goals and 12 assists in 75 games. A list of other notable moves made on Friday: Pittsburgh takes D Nolan Baumgartner from Vancouver Nashville takes F Wade Brookbank from Ottawa Atlanta takes F Serge Aubin from Colorado Montreal takes F Darren Langdon from Vancouver New York Rangers take F Joel Bouchard from Pittsburgh New York Rangers take F Sheldon Keefe from Tampa Bay New York Rangers take F Mike Siklenka from Philadelphia Nashville takes G Chris Mason from Florida Atlanta takes Ronald Petrovicky from New York Rangers Montreal takes F Steve Begin from Buffalo Washington takes Brian Willsie from Colorado Washington takes Denis Hamel from Ottawa Anaheim takes Todd Simpson from Phoenix St. Louis takes Jeff Heerema from NYR Florida takes G Steve Valiquette from Edmonton Carolina takes G Jani Hurme from Florida, trades Hurme to Atlanta for a fourth-round pick" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habby1197 Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 My waiver review.... Travis Green... Not a surprise the Bruins wanted him. He's a cheap replacement for Stumple and now it'll allow Rolston to play 2nd line without worrying about having a checking centre for the 3rd line. Pittsburgh takes D Nolan Baumgartner from Vancouver... Pens need cheap D-men... they found one. Nashville takes F Wade Brookbank from Ottawa... Don't know who he is... I'm guessing a project. Atlanta takes F Serge Aubin from Colorado... a Bob Hartley favorite? Not a surprise that he was picked up. Montreal takes F Darren Langdon from Vancouver... Habs needed some toughness... They got some. New York Rangers take F Joel Bouchard from Pittsburgh... Not surprised at all... he played his best hockey with the Rangers last year. New York Rangers take F Sheldon Keefe from Tampa Bay... good pick up IMO... Tough player. New York Rangers take F Mike Siklenka from Philadelphia... No idea who he is... Project I'm guessing. Nashville takes G Chris Mason from Florida... Looking for some goaltending depth after trading their #1 to the Rags last year. Atlanta takes Ronald Petrovicky from New York Rangers... good role player for the Thrashers to pick up. Montreal takes F Steve Begin from Buffalo... a Darcy Tucker with no skill... not a bad pick up. He's a pain in the ass. Washington takes Brian Willsie and Denis Hamel from Colorado and Ottawa.... Nice pick ups... two well known players maybe needed a change of scenery. Anaheim takes Todd Simpson from Phoenix... Good pick up, The Ducks have Ozo who they must play with a defensive Dman... they have one now. St. Louis takes Jeff Heerema from NYR... Went for a guy with decent upside. Florida takes G Steve Valiquette from Edmonton... Loses Hurme... Takes another goalie. Carolina takes G Jani Hurme from Florida, trades Hurme to Atlanta for a fourth-round pick"... Canes got Storr... didn't need Hurme. I though he was protected though. Can't believe Bendar and Novoseltev weren't picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
