UPSHALL GONE
In a trade that makes little sense right now, the Flyers have traded Scottie Upshall to the Phoenix Coyotes for Daniel Carcillo.
Carcillo, 24, leads the NHL in penalty minutes with 174 and is tied for second in fighting majors with 18.
In short, he's a goon.
He has three goals and seven assists in 54 games with the Coyotes.
The original report from TSN in Canada has the Flyers also sending Phoenix a second round pick, but they don't have a second rounder in either 2009 or 2010, so those details are still sketchy.
Upshall had 7 goals and 14 assists for the Flyers.
The Flyers are saving roughly $400,000 in this deal.
Carcillo is also signed through next season and his cap hit is $885,000.
Rumor has it that although the deadline has passed, the Flyers have an agreement in principle on a second deal and have been granted an extension by the league to finalize the particulars.
I'll keep you posted.
