Juror Flirting With John Edwards
Obama's Pot-Smoking Detailed
Jason Arnott, a veteran center the Washington Capitals sorely lacked, was dealt to the nation's capital by the New Jersey Devils in exchange for center David Steckel and a second-round pick minutes before Monday's trade deadline.
Arnott, 36, waived his no-trade clause to make the deal possible, a move he didn't take lightly.
"This was the hardest decision I've had to make I think in my career," Arnott told The Star-Ledger. . "It took me a while. It's hard to leave."
He'll likely fill the role of a second-line center with Brooks Laich and Alexander Semin on the wings. In Arnott, they get a player who has won a Stanley Cup (2000 with the Devils) and another veteran voice in a locker room that is still relatively young.
Arnott will become an unrestricted free agent at season's end. He has 13 goals and 11 assists this season.
Earlier in the day, the Caps acquired Dennis Wideman from the Florida Panthers.
