RALEIGH, NC - Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has acquired forward Greg Nemisz (GREHG NEH-mihtz) from Calgary in exchange for forward Kevin Westgarth.

"Greg is a young player and a former first-round pick that we hope will continue to develop into a solid NHL player," said Rutherford.
"We thank Kevin for his time with the Hurricanes and wish him well."
Nemisz, 22, has scored five goals, earned four assists (9 points) and posted a plus-5 plus/minus rating in 32 games this season with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat.
