Ducks Acquire Krygier From Washington
The Mighty Ducks on Thursday acquired left wing Todd Krygier from Washington, where he had asked to be traded. The Ducks sent the Capitals their fourth-round pick in the 1996 draft.
“Things were stagnant in Washington,” Krygier said. “I was looking for an opportunity to move my career along. I think it’s always tough to hear you’re not going to fit into a team’s plans.”
Krygier had 12 goals and 18 assists for the Capitals last season, matching his NHL career high of 30 points. He spent three seasons in Washington and two in Hartford and played for Duck General Manager Jack Ferreira on the U.S. team in the 1991 World Championships.
He is a strong skater, who combines offensive skill with gritty play along the boards.
