Wild Acquires Darroll Powe from Philadelphia

Minnesota Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher today announced the club has acquired center Darroll Powe from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for the club’s third-round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
 
The 26-year-old registered 17 points (7-10=17) and 41 penalty minutes in 81 games for Philadelphia in 2010-11. Powe led the Flyers and ranked tied for 21st in the NHL with 196 hits last season, while also setting career-highs in assists and points.

The 5-11, 212-pound, native of Saskatoon, Sask., skated in three NHL seasons with the Flyers and owns 43 points (22-21=43) and 130 PIM in 204 career games. He recorded five points (1-4=5) in 40 Stanley Cup playoff contests and appeared in the 2010 finals versus Chicago.

Powe signed with the Philadelphia organization as a free agent coming out of Princeton University (ECAC). During his four-year career at Princeton (2003-07), he played in 120 games, tallying 60 points (28-32=60) and 180 PIM, and served as team captain as a senior. He was also awarded the Richard F. Vaughan Cup for perserverance and dedication to Princeton hockey in 2006 and 2007.
