Guess Who

Justin Williams was a promising young winger with the Philadelphia Flyers, putting up 43 goals and 115 points in 226 games. Flyers GM Bobby Clarke was looking for defensive help and, with Williams slotting below veterans Tony Amonte and former Hurricane Sami Kapanen, the youngster was shipped out:

In his first go-round with the Hurricanes, Williams played in 265 games and putting up 81 goals and 120 assists. During the 2006 playoffs, Williams picked up 7 goals and 11 assists, including the coffin nail third goal in Game 7 of the Finals.

After coming over from the Phoenix Coyotes, Danny Markov played 44 games for the Hurricanes and, while Markov was solid in Carolina, the presence of Glen Wesley, Sean Hill, Bret Hedican, Aaron Ward, and Niclas Wallin made Markov expendable.

Besides, any time you can add Justin Williams to your team, you do it.
