Devils Get Gilmour in Five-Player Deal
The New Jersey Devils finally got a marquee center for another Stanley Cup push, acquiring Doug Gilmour from Toronto in a five-player trade. New Jersey also picked up defenseman Dave Ellett and reacquired a conditional draft pick it sent to Toronto last year in a trade for Dave Andreychuk. Gilmour, 33, has 15 goals and 45 assists this season.
The Maple Leafs got two young players in forward Steve Sullivan and defenseman Jason Smith. They also got the rights to forward Alyn McCauley, who is playing junior hockey for Ottawa.
