FLYERS NEWS
The Orange and Black have pulled off their first big trade under GM Paul Holmgren(he replaced Bobby Clarke halfway into last season). The traded the 23rd pick in the first round of this weekend's NHL draft to the Nashville Predators (the same team from which they recieved it in exchange for Peter Forsberg) in exchange for all world defenseman Kimmo Timmonen, who captained Nashville last season with 13 goals and 42 assists, and center/forward Scott Hartnell who put up 22 goals and 17 assists. The Flyers have said that this off-season they are looking to get bigger, faster, and more skilled, and with this trade they appear to have done just that and the NHL free agent signing period hasn't even started yet. So I would say that they have done a good job thus far in this off-season.
