The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded Jerry D’Amigo to the Buffalo Sabres for Luke Adam.
The 24-year old Adam was drafted 44th overall in the 2nd round of the 2008 draft by the Sabres.
The 23-year old D’Amigo was drafted 158th overall in the 6th round of the 2009 draft by the Maple Leafs.
- Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News: Sabres GM Tim Murray:
“We feel that this was a good deal that gave both teams a player they were looking for,” Sabres General Manager Tim Murray said in a statement. “Jerry brings a tremendous work ethic to our organization and we know he’ll have an immediate impact with the Amerks. Luke has been a steady force for our clubs since he was drafted in 2008 and we wish him luck as he joins the Blue Jackets’ organization.”
- Aaron Portzline: “D’Amigo just was not a fit w #CBJ organization. Invisible in training camp, play at #AHL level never merited call-up despite #NHL injuries.”
