Stat Of The Day

From the good folks at Elias Sports Bureau, via the NHL:

"The Capitals trailed the Hurricanes, 2-1, but Alexander Semin scored twice in the final three minutes of the third period to pull out a 3-2 victory for Washington last night. Semin was the first player in Capitals history with a score-tying goal and a game-winning goal in the final three minutes of the third period in one game. Before Semin, the last player on any NHL team to pull off that feat was the Bruins’ Anson Carter on March 12, 1999 against the Rangers in New York."

Market Price Update: Richard Zednik

According to TSN.ca, the Carolina Hurricanes have acquired Anson Carter from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for a fifth round draft pick in 2008.

Carter has 10 goals and 17 assists on the season in 54 games (and is on a contract that pays him $2,500,000 in 2006-07).

Richard Zednik has 6 goals and 11 assists in 30 games (and is on a contract that pays him $1,976,000 in 2006-07).

In other words, anything above a 3rd round pick in return for Zednik would have to be considered an absolute steal, no?
