Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim on Thursday acquired forward Kip Brennan from the Atlanta Thrashers and also agreed to terms with forward Craig Adams on a one-year deal.
The Ducks shipped defenseman Mark Popovic to the Thrashers to obtain Brennan, who has played in 46 NHL games in his career.
"Kip Brennan adds size and strength to our hockey club," said Mighty Ducks general manager Brian Burke. "We needed more of a physical presence."
The 24-year-old Brennan was originally selected by the LA Kings in the fourth round of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft.
Adams, 28, has played in parts of four NHL seasons and has compiled 14 goals and 23 assists in 238 games, all with the Carolina Hurricanes. This past season, he skated for Milan in the Italian League.
Selected in the ninth round by the then-Hartford Whalers in 1996, Adams played in college for Harvard. In four years at the collegiate level, he tallied 29 goals and 33 assists.
