Bruins ship Mann to Dallas for Jackman

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins traded right wing Cameron Mann
to the Dallas Stars for defenseman Richard Jackman on Sunday at the
NHL draft in Sunrise, Fla.
"We think Cameron is a fine prospect," Boston general manager
Mike O'Connell said. "We just felt that maybe it was time for him
to have a change of scenery and we think this trade with Dallas for
Richard is a good fit for both teams."
Jackman split the last two seasons between Dallas and its
International Hockey League affiliates in Michigan and Utah. He
played 38 NHL games during that span with one goal and two assists.
Mann divided time between Boston and its American Hockey League
affiliate in Providence, R.I., last year. He had one goal and three
assists in 15 games with the NHL club.
"Richard is big, he's a terrific skater and he has a great
shot," O'Connell said. "I saw him in several of the games he
played up in Dallas last season and I think he has a good chance to
play full-time in the National Hockey League."
Jackman, 23, was the Stars' first pick, and fifth overall, in
the 1996 NHL entry draft. Boston picked Mann in the fourth round of
the 1995 draft.
