Calgary Flames trade Anton Stralman to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2010 Entry Draft. The Flames had acquired Stralman from the Maple Leafs on July 27, in exchange for Wayne Primeau, which is a 2011 second-round pick. Now Calgary's defense consist of Jay Bouwmeester, Mark Giordano, Staffan Kronwall, Adam Pardy, Dion Phaneuf, Robyn Regehr and Cory Sarich.
Stralman has won praise from Flames coach Brent Sutter for his pre-season play with Blue Jackets. He played 38 games for the Maple Leafs last season, collecting 12 assists. "I am an offensive-minded defenseman," he told the Flames Web site. "I really try and use my skating as my biggest asset. I try to move myself fast. Try to get out of trouble, move the puck and start a good offense with a quick transition game."
