PrintTHE TELETYPE:
The Ducks announced today that they have traded defenseman Steve Eminger to the New York Rangers for left wings Aaron Voros and Ryan Hillier.
Voros was an eighth-round pick for the Devils in 2001. The Alaska-Fairbanks product has played on the Rangers checking lines for the past two seasons, but New York put him on the waiver wire just two weeks ago. He will make 900K salary next season, the last of his contract.
Hillier was a third-round pick for the Rangers in 2006 out of Halifax. He was a fast winger with plenty of offense in The Q but has played most of his career since in the ECHL. He will make 675K salary next season, the last of his contract.
Also, Ducks center Ryan Carter cleared waivers unclaimed this morning.

ARTHUR:
Voros saves the Ducks some money as a salary move and is skilled enough as a forechecker to be a factor in the team's bottom six. He's a good skater, but not all that strong defensively, so it's hard to imagine where he'd fit in. At 6'3" 215, with legs and fists, you want to call him a large Mike Brown, but I suppose you could also venture to say he's an Evgeny Artyukhin without the rap sheet.
On Hillier, I don't know too much about his pro story, but he was a strong scorer on the Voracek/MacMillan Mooseheads teams. I think there's got to be some offensive upside still there, even if he has had trouble at the next level. He's potentially a nice pickup to fill out the Syracuse roster.

Artyukhin similarities…hopefully just the fast, big, and hard hitting ones….not the bonehead, behind their goal slewfoots and boardings…I miss R2’s crazy one man rushes, and big hits, but that is about it…
he’s a needler, fighter and not a great defender, so he might resort to that in the physical West. Still, as he has never hit a guy with his own helmet, the refs probably aren’t watching him as close as they were Artyukhin

What about taking off a skate and trying to stab someone with it?

This trade is kind of funny guys, we’re saying “Can’t believe someone took Voros off our hands”, and we’ve seen comments from Duck fans that say “Can’t believe someone took Eminger off our hands”
All I can tell you is that if the Ducks needed a slow forward who can’t fight and can’t score, they got their man. I find Voros utterly talentless, but he does give his all.
Although some all is not as much as others.
I think we swapped each other’s overpriced Hefty bags, but whatever, at least Eminger is a fresh face.

haha, you guys are a cap team and we’re a salary team, so this was a 600K dump for us, which is an entire rookie contract. But we hadn’t waived Eminger yet, and you guys already waived Voros, so obviously we’re saving you from a buyout and picking up a guy for our new minor league affiliate. everybody wins.

Oh, and I threw up a Blueshirt link to your player review, Jim. Sorry I forgot to search for that first.

Oh hey, I made this suggestion last year for Blueshirt Banter, I will pass it along to you guys:
See if Voros will write “Anaheim Calling” on the bottom of his skates, it will be great free advertising whenever he fights.

Daniel said it in the fanpost.....
….but I smell something else cooking here. What else is Bob Murray up to?
"Abtholoootleee"
Everyone should be planning something once Ilya makes his decision.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Jul 9, 2010 3:24 PM PDT up reply actions
I agree. Murray has to have something cooking to warrant waiving Carter and trading away Eminger so soon after each other.
Good riddens Eminger and hello mediocre Mike Brown wannabe who probably won’t make the team. Basically nothing for nothing. I’m just glad to see Steve gone.
We need more Boyntons.
i wonder if our future considerations were at all dependent upon him getting his name on the Cup. Maybe we get a pick now.

I had a conversation with a self proclaimed die-hard Rangers fan and he was sad to see Voros leave. He said that at the end of the season their fourth line with Voros was making quite the impact (scoring also) against their opponents. Maybe we’ve got a larger version of Mike Brown that can be on a line with Parros and Bodie. They can be nicknamed the Thudering Herd.
i think we'll dump him voros.
agreed their is probably other moves to follow.
For some reason, I can see Eminger being moved after this signing
sometimes when you’re it feels so good. hehe. Next hunch, sign a big boy on the backend
Questions for the more knowledgable on waiver system…
Why waive a player before buying them out?
If a player is claimed by another team are the team waiving responsible for any of the contract?
Anything else you know on the subject would be appreciated… thanks
