Cammalleri traded to Calgary: The Calgary Flames were busy at the NHL draft, acquiring center Michael Cammalleri from the Los Angeles Kings in a three-way deal and shipping forward Alex Tanguay to the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night. The Flames sent their first round pick, 17th overall, to Los Angeles for Cammalleri. The Kings then traded the 17th and 28th picks in the first round to Anaheim for the Ducks' pick at No. 12. The rebuilding Kings also had the second overall pick, which they used to select defenseman Drew Doughty from Guelph of the Ontario Hockey League. (Updated 06/20/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Cammalleri, who turned 26 last week, will likely play with Flames captain Jarome Iginla next season. Cammalleri had 19 goals and 28 assists in 63 games last season. His best season was 2006-07, when he had 31 goals and 46 assists in 81 games. "I am thrilled to be coming to Calgary," Cammalleri told Rogers Sportsnet. "I have always wanted to play in Canada. Now I get to live it." Cammalleri was having a stellar season for L.A. before a rib injury sidelined him from late November to early February. He never really felt comfortable after the injury and will now get a fresh slate in Calgary. This is a great move for him and playing alongside Iginla will help in his progression. We all saw how Iginla helped Tanguay's career among many others. Consider Cammalleri a solid No. 3 Fantasy forward Draft Day with the potential to be much more. (Updated 06/20/2008).
