We have a trade...

Today the Canes traded center Kevyn Adams to Phoenix for defenseman Dennis Seidenberg.

Well, I can't say I'm really surprised by this. The Canes played the Islanders game with only five defensemen, and Adams' TOI has been diminishing all year, plus he only has four points

It looks to be a decent trade. Seidenberg has 2 points on the year, so he doesn't appear to be a scoring defenseman. In fact, looking at the stats, he just looks to be a defenseman. Which is what we need.

I'll reserve any real judgement for later, when I actually see Seidenberg play with the team.

It is a shame that it's Kevyn, though. I personally liked Adams, and he was a fan favorite.
