Late trade just trickling in -- the Anaheim Ducks have picked up winger Jamie McGinn from the Buffalo Sabres for a conditional* third-round draft pick.
McGinn, 27, was enjoying a fine season with the Sabres. A pending unrestricted free agent, he had 14 goals and 13 assists in 63 games, with 113 hits.
Though McGinn’s preference was to stay in Buffalo, he can’t be too upset about joining the Ducks for a playoff run.
*Here’s the condition:
The 3rd in McGinn deal will be a 2nd in 2017 if Anaheim wins 2 rounds in playoffs and he plays 50% of games in first 2 rounds. #TradeCentre

To be clear on the McGinn condition: it's a third-round pick in 2016 or if Ducks reach conf finals it becomes a second-round pick in 2017
