New Trade Deal Gone Through.Ward packs up and leave Carolina; takes Ruutu and Boychuk with him to New Jersey in return for Elias, Ponikarovsky and BrodeurHeres a quote from Cam WardQuote (Ward)
I had a struggling season in Carolina, with only 3 wins in 10 games. I felt it would be best for a relocation and fresh start. I asked the GM, and he agree'd. I'm glad to say we left on good terms, and am going to enjoy our time in New Jersey. I wish Carolina the best, and am ready to start at practice in New Jersey in the morning. I will see you the team again on November 8th! And I'll see the home fans again on December 26th.
