Why would you trade Price to CLB where they have Bobz?

It's called equal value for equal value.

er @DarrenDreger, Jordan Weal and 3rd rd pick to PHI for Lecavalier and Luke Schenn.

Hextall wins

Edit : Depends on the salary held back actually

vinny was a sunk cost with philly

every dollar they saved on a trade was a win for philly.

Great move for Philly

Hextall clearly making room for Buff. e5

This! Plus Weal isn't a terrible prospect and Luke is a UFA after this season anyhow.

Great move for Philly

i wonder if vinny agreed to retire as part of the trade condition

WHY would someone take Vinny's contract??????




Edit: Philly is retaining 50% of Both contracts

Reports are Vinny intends on calling it a career after this season as well.

Eklund is supposed to be a Flyers insider and he had no idea this trade would happen.

that makes sense .... otherwise no way LA makes the trade.

(frank)ing lombardi

Still a bit fluid...

So Luke ends up with the team that drafted his brother

Hextall is a King!! traded the one guy no one said he could

Mike Richards May Be Joining The Washington Capitals: Sources say pending NHL approval, Mike Richards is expected… dlvr.it/DC884M

No vinny and luke are Kings.....

@TheFourthPeriod
Per Capitals release: "Richards met with the NHL earlier today and has been given clearance to immediately resume his NHL career."

@TheFourthPeriod
Capitals announce they've signed Mike Richards to a 1-year contract

that makes sense .... otherwise no way LA makes the trade.

How does that make sense, hes just gonna flush 10 million down the drain?

I don't think the league would let that happen

So these "rumours" about Johansen for (likely) Jones are verified by both Aaron Portzline and Bob McKenzie.

Oh my god... We just took on their garbage! What a joke

Sounds like it has a good chance of happening.

from earlier today

The truly interesting news came directly from LeBrun, who provided a theory that to this point had been limited to wishful thinking from the blogosphere.

My sense is Lecavalier’s agent, Kent Hughes, has made it clear to teams that if they took a chance on his client, an effort would be made to ensure those final two years on the deal wouldn't hang over the club in one form or another.

This isn’t about money for Lecavalier; it’s about wanting to prove he’s still got some hockey left in him, even if in some smaller role.

Flyers fan on twitter…

I'm buying a (frank)ing powerball ticket and boning the wife bareback tonight...I can't lose

Any chance the Habs are in on johansen?
- QuickSCF

No.

Just no.
