The Vancouver Canucks acquired left-winger Jeff Costello from the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday in exchange for defenceman Patrick Mullen.

Costello, 23, has 19 points (11 goals, eight assists) and 69 penalty minutes in 34 games as team captain with Notre Dame this season. He was originally selected by Ottawa with the 146th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Mullen, 27, has 20 points (7-13) in 46 games this season with Utica of the American Hockey League.

Already posted this in Comet Trails - that's a lot of penalty minutes for the NCAA...!

Well duh.. what's not to like ? Costello is exactly the shot in the arm this team needed going forward. He says he expects to play at 225 next season and that he is a natural centre but has played a lot on the wing at Notre Dame. He feels he can adapt to Torts style and is apparently a 2nd cousin of Kevin Bieksa. Not sure why I mixed that in but it was interesting fodder nonetheless.

I think the dudes daughter just got out of diapers and he is acting up like that. :lol:

I like this trade a lot.

As I am trying very hard to be 'pro Gillis' and see things from his vantage point, this is a deal that does make a lot of sense to me.

My props.

So what's the catch? Perhaps he wasn't going to sign w/ Ottawa.

Seems to me like an AHL deal.. the Comets selling an every day player to an AHL playoff team for a guy who might play for them next year. I would guess Costello is a long shot to play in the NHl and the Sens aren't exactly hurting for these types of guys anyway.
