Darryl Sutter Trades his own Son to Carolina

[Phil The Thrill]

CALGARY -- Calgary Flames GM Darryl Sutter has traded his son Brett to the Carolina Hurricanes one week after he was charged with assault outside an Arizona bar.

The 23-year-old forward and defenceman Ian White were shipped to the Hurricanes on Wednesday in exchange for defenceman Anton Babchuk and winger Tom Kostopoulos.

Brett Sutter issued a public apology after his arrest. He is alleged to have punched a cab driver last week in a drunken altercation following the team's rookie dinner.

The move offers the Flames a little bit of salary cap relief. Babchuk (US$1.4 million) and Kostopoulos ($950,000) are earning less than White, who is on a one-year contract at $2,999,995.

Sutter is on a two-way deal and was sent to the AHL on Monday.

In Carolina, he'll be joining another family member. Cousin Brandon Sutter is an alternate captain with the Hurricanes.
