Goaltender Guy Hebert has apparently played his last game as a Mighty Duck. Pierre Gauthier, team president and general manager, put the last original Duck on nonroster waivers Monday to make room for newly acquired goalie Steve Shields. Gauthier said he hopes to trade Hebert by next Tuesday's deadline. Hebert's future with the club had been in question for some time. The Ducks demoted him, moving Jean-Sebastien Giguere into the starter's role last month.

The Mighty Ducks have exercised their option on goalie Steve Shields, one of two players the team acquired from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Teemu Selanne last March. The $2-million option could make re-signing restricted free agent Jean-Sebastien Giguere more difficult. Giguere, the Ducks' No. 1 goalie after being recalled from minor league Cincinnati in January, made $605,00 last season, Shields, 28, started the season as the Sharks' No.

The Mighty Ducks traded goalie Steve Shields, a piece of the Teemu Selanne deal, to the Boston Bruins Tuesday for a third-round draft pick in 2003. The Bruins signed Shields, a restricted free agent, to a two-year deal for a base salary of $1.2 million, with incentives that could push it over $2 million. The deal further indicates that Boston officials have no interest in re-signing unrestricted free agent Byron Dafoe after his disappointing performance in the playoffs.

Steve Shields was traded Sunday by the Boston Bruins to the Florida Panthers, who needed to strengthen their goaltending. The Bruins received future considerations in the deal that came three days before the season opens. Shields will replace backup goalie Jani Hurme, who was lost in Friday's NHL waiver draft. Roberto Luongo is Florida's starting goalie. "We had a couple of other options," Panther General Manager Rick Dudley said. "Shields was at the top of the list."
