Evgeny Artyukhin Dealt to Ducks

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Anaheim Ducks announced today that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has acquired right wing Evgeny Artyukhin from Tampa Bay in exchange for left wing Drew Miller and a third-round selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Artyukhin, 26 (4/4/83), appeared in his second NHL season with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2008-09, scoring 6-10=16 points with a +1 rating and 151 PIM in 73 games. Artyukhin set career highs in goals, appearances and PIM while leading the team in hits (249) and PIM. The 6-4, 254-pound winger also averaged 10:40 time on ice (TOI) per game and 14.8 shifts per game.

Originally selected by Tampa Bay in the third round (94th overall) of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Artyukhin has played two seasons with the Lightning (2005-06 and 2008-09). In 145 career NHL games, Artyukhin has collected 10-23=33 points with 241 PIM. He made his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut with Tampa Bay in 2006, earning 1-0=1 point in five games during the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals vs. Ottawa. He has also appeared in 102 career American Hockey League (AHL) contests with Hershey (2003-04) and Springfield (2004-06), scoring 14-23=37 points with 257 PIM.

A native of Moscow, Russia, Artyukhin has played five seasons in the Russian leagues since debuting with Podolsk of Russia-2 in 1999-00. In January 2003, he helped Team Russia capture gold at the 2003 World Junior Championships in Halifax and Sydney, Nova Scotia, recording 1-0=1 point and 10 PIM in six games.

Miller, 25 (2/17/84), appeared in 27 games with Anaheim last season, scoring 4-6=10 points with 27 PIM. He played in all 13 Stanley Cup Playoff games with the Ducks, earning 2-1=3 points with two PIM. Originally selected by Anaheim in the sixth round (186th overall) of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Miller has collected 6-9=15 points with 23 PIM in 53 career NHL games. He won his first Stanley Cup championship with the Ducks in 2007.

The tough gets tougher. Atleast while the return is TBA.

whoa! this from the holy sh!t department!

wonder if the Kings will try to get at him for hit on Doughty? they'll certainly have more chances now, but i'm not sure anything will happen. maybe the Kings-Ducks series will be as physical as it was before!

Haha that's exactly what I was thinking.

Also, the Tampa Bay Lightning have announced on their Twitter page that the deal is Artyukhin to Anaheim for Drew Miller and a 3rd round pick.

F*ck him. Good riddance. And who is Drew Miller? Oh wait, f*ck him too.

This better keep Zenon in the lineup. There's no excuse not to. The guy will actually fight and enforce...and Fedoruk will be doing the checking. The Arty era is overwith. Talk about a cluster****.

Oh my gay!

Even with Artyukhin's negatives, I really didn't want to see him get dealt unless it involved a returning tough guy.

This sucks, but Arty will probably thrive in the Ducks organization.

Yay! We might as well give up Vinny too! As long as it gives Zenon Konopka shot

For reals though, Tocchet probably hated him, but I was looking forward to see if he could improve. No matter where his career goes for him, he'll light up the building and will be an exciting plaer to watch. fml.

Think about it though. Fedoruk will be making over a million, so was Arty. Who could be more effective....someone who'll actually back up their **** on accasions (or protect teammates), or someone who won't score, take STUPID penalties, will throw huge checks, yet won't have anyone to protect him once the middleweight/heavyweight comes calling? Arty probably wouldn't of done sh*t this year anyway.

Bye bye. Go back to Europe.
