The New Jersey Devils acquired left wing Alexander Korolyuk and defenceman Jim Fahey from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenceman Vladimir Malakhov, and a conditional first-round pick in the NHL Entry Draft. 


Korolyuk, 30, recorded 19 goals and 15 assists for 34 points and 86 penalty minutes in 45 games with Vityaz Chekhov in the Russian Super League last season.  He last played in the NHL during the 2003-04 season, posting an NHL career-high 19 goals and 18 assists for 37 points in 63 games with San Jose. 


The 5-foot-9, 190-pound has 62 goals and 80 assists for 142 points and 140 penalty minutes in 296 career games, all with the Sharks. 


Fahey, 27, will be entering his fifth professional season.  He posted two assists in 21 games with San Jose last season.  Fahey has career totals of one goal and 23 assists for 24 points and 65 penalty minutes in 79 games, making his NHL debut in 2002-03. 


The 6-foot, 205-pound defenceman has also seen action with Cleveland (AHL) during parts of three seasons from 2002-03 through 2004-05.  Fahey was San Jose's ninth choice, and the 212th overall selection in the 1998 draft. 



Malakhov, 38, posted nine points and 26 penalty minutes in 29 games with the Devils last season.  Malakhov's NHL career includes 86 goals and 260 assists for 346 points and 697 penalty minutes in 712 games with the NY Islanders, Montreal, New Jersey, the NY Rangers, and Philadelphia.

Not quite. Malakhov won't play, Korolyuk is in Russia, and Fahey is a seventh defenceman. Essentially this trade is cap space and Fahey for a first round pick. First round picks seem to be worth a lot in the new NHL.


Personally I'm expecting the NHL to review this one and say it's illegal, but who knows. If it goes through there will be a very interesting precedent set.
