WARD HEADS BACK TO 'CANES
Aaron Ward
The Carolina Hurricanes acquired defenseman Aaron Ward from the Boston Bruins for winger Patrick Eaves and a fourth-round draft pick in 2010.

What does it give the Carolina Hurricanes?
The Hurricanes are renowned for re-acquiring former players, especially veterans. Ward is both, and he'll be a welcome addition to the 'Canes due to his stay-at-home tendencies. He fills a need.

What does it give the Boston Bruins?
This is clearly a salary dump for the Bruins, since they decided to waive Eaves immediately for the purpose of buying him out. This series of moves saves Boston a lot of cap space, and adds a fourth rounder.
