Wellwood and Raycroft were just place on waivers...

Why Wellwood.. isn't part of rebuilding keeping your good young players? Sure he was injured a lot this season but come on..

Wellwood, in my opinion, wasn't working out the way everyone had hoped. He was also starting to become one of those injury prone players. I don't see him as a future multiple-30 goal scoring player.

I like the changes I'm seeing so far in TO. Keep 'em coming.

Why did Flyers trade umberger?? ?Stupid!!I agree... that was a horrible move.

The Flyers Get: The 19th pick and a third-round pick

With the 19th pick, the Flyers selected Swiss defenceman Luca Sbisa from Lethbridge in the WHL. The third-round pick, D Marc-Andre Bourdon was quite productive with Rouyn-Noranda of the QMJHL, tallying 59 points and 114 penalty minutes.

Since the Flyers are in a difficult cap position, and reportedly nearing a new deal with Jeff Carter, it makes sense to get assets in exchange for Umberger and, all the better, getting two puck-handling defencemen into the organization addresses a long-range need for the Flyers.
