The Ottawa Senators made a rare post-deadline trade today acquiring AHL defenseman Brandon Gormley from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for future considerations.
Because the trade was completed after the March 1st trade deadline, Gormley is ineligible to be called up to the Senators’ main roster, and will not be able to play in the playoffs should Binghamton make a surge for the postseason.
Gormley, a former 13th overall pick from the Arizona Coyotes in 2010, has not found the success that he was hoping for. He has five points in 58 career NHL games, and has two goals and ten points for the Albany Devils this season after being picked up as a UFA.
