The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have acquired 5’11”, 200-pound defenseman Danny Syvret (SIHV-reht) from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for forward Ryan Potulny, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren.


So how many wold junior champions is that for us? Hell, how many memorial cup champions?

IMO this was a great move. We need all the defensive help we can get, and you can be assured that this won't be the only deal Holmgren will do.

I expect Umberger to be traded eventually, his value is pretty high right now, and we need some D-men.

On a sadder note, Sami Kapanen retired.

Yeah, that really brought me down. You can always count on him in the playoffs.

And Umberger is a free agent this year, but the talk is after they resign Carter, him, Coburn and Jones are the next priority. I can really see them letting him go though, unless he is willing to sign for like a million bucks a season. With Downie and Giroux going for full seasons next year, I think we can afford to lose him.

He really stepped it up this year, especially in the playoffs. And they need all the defensive help they can get. They're going to let Smith go, and Hatcher is more than likely either retiring or getting bought out.
