Wait.. does that mean the Flyers made a notable pick after the first 2 rounds
- jak521

well the Flyers have made some....they just never realize their potentional here

Kypreos says Nashville took serious run at Rick Nash, but he wouldn't waive for the Preds.

In return for Kostitsyn, Preds deal 2nd rd pick in 2013 plus return the conditional pick they got in Hal GIll trade

reminder, all, put links in trades (I know nfg isn't being a troll, but it IS trade day, don't want any panics).

It's an idea.


Pagnotta of 4th period says Toronto is close to or has made a deal.

I wonder if it's for a goaltender. Or it could be Grabovski on the move.

They usually do...it's the second round that means the guy is destined to be a career ECHLer.

I thought it was the 3rd round so i went back and looked at some names.. You were right. They had some pretty good success in the 3rd round.. but damn has round 2 been ugly

This is a shame. Nash might actually make a big different there assuming they keep Weber and Suter beyond the deadline (Of course they will).

Is it OK to simply name the source and say "via Twitter"?

Can't stand Marchand. Dirty player that likes to go low on guys.

Burke will make it interesting, that's for sure. Who knows at this point?

Yep...Guess he wants a big market with what he perceives is a better chance to get to Cup.

Dirty and ashamed?

They get some good value late, as well...but that second round has been a wasteland

On TSN they just showed Burke and Nonis speeding away in an old Ford Explorer.

On Sportsnet, they were all over Nash, wondering how he could justify rejecting the Preds out of hand and how he's "typical of many players today", where not even the chance to play for a clear-cut playoff team will sway him away from accepting a trade to anywhere but where he may have his heart set on playing. They stopped just short of calling him spoiled and selfish, but the implication was there.

Not surprising. I'd consider Nashville if I was him. They have a good team, with stellar defense and goaltending, and a solid front office.


My guess is he wants a big market that has proven it will spend to cap limits and try to contend every year.

Interesting. The asking price is supposedly a # 1, and Detroit doesn't have one.

Well then Philly is his team.......... except his contract is an albatross that will wreck any team that is in the situation described above.
