    Oilers pull a minor deal with Philly...

    Syvret for Potulny.

    Love it... Syvret was going no where here (at best right now, you'd have to sot him in at what... #14? You have the 8 NHL guys, Chorney, Peckham, Wild, Petry, Young, Rourke all ahead of him.....) and Potulny is a guy with great hands who at the least should be able to chip in at the AHL level.

        DAMN IT!! Don't waste posting space on that crap. That's not a trade. I see Oilers Trade and I got all excited but it is a trade for guys who probably won't make the NHL. I know Syvret won't. Looks like that Potulny put up some ok numbers in the minors. I give Klowe props for getting more than a bag of pucks for Syvret.
        Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.

          Syvret has been garbage in every game I've seen him. I think it's safe to say this is a steal.

          A tragic path once more

            IIRC Rourke actually signed a contract with a pro team in Germany recently.... but I digress.

            Agreed Syvret has been a big flop for the most part, and with the glut of guys we have ahead of him in the bigs and the AHL no reason to waste a roster spot in Springfield on him. Potulny is a guy who agreed can at worst help out scoring in Springfield, which dropped off greatly after Schremp, and possibly make the Oil as a forward down the road.

            Good, if minor start to the trade wars by K-Lowe.

                He's Rob Schremp lite. At one point he was considered the best prospect the Flyers had after Pitkanen.... then he got hurt a couple times. Offense only, but he brings a lot of offense. His high end would probably be Marty Reasoner pre-ruining his knees, if he puts the effort in.

                Odd fact?

                He's the draft pick we traded for Dopita.

                    Kind of like trading a 6th round pick in the draft for an established kicker?

                      I officially retract my vote for DDS as Prime Minister. He's clearly incompetent.

                        Apparently Syvret requested a trade. Flyers had a glut of O prospects, we had a glut of D prospects. Made a lot of sense. Interesting....
