unprotected for the 2000 NHL Expansion Draft, and he was claimed by
Minnesota on June 23, 2000. New Jersey immediately got Terreri back when the
Devils traded Brad Bombardir to Minnesota in exchange for Terreri and 2000
ninth-round pick (later traded) on June 23, 2000. New Jersey lost Terreri
for the final time when it traded Terreri and 2001 ninth-round pick (Juha-Pekka
Ketola) to N.Y. Islanders for John Vanbiesbrouck on March 12, 2001. |
