So the NHL draft is scheduled for prime time this week. Before the start of the draft, the Philadelphia Flyers traded the 23st pick in the draft back to the Nashville Predators. Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell come on down. Salary cap has looked at this trade as a sign of more trades to come in this underwhelming draft. The Philadelphia Flyers have hit gold once again with this trade. Remember when the Flyers traded away Mark Recchi for John Leclair and Eric Desjardins? Well, this trade reminds salary cap of the same thing. A stud defenseman who knows how to handle the point on the Power play(which the Philadelphia Flyers have missed this year) and a young left winger about to turn 26 years old. If you think about it, John Leclair was a relatively no one before he got to Philly. Same thing about Scott Hartnell. Get used to that name, he is going to be scoring in bunches this upcoming year. With the second overall pick, which I would assume Philly uses on a number one center, this team has the makings of being a playoff contender this year already. In less than 4 months, the Flyers have secured the number one goalie, number one defenseman, youngest and number one free agent in Scott Hartnell and still have the number two overall pick. Salary caps excitement for hockey is starting already. Lets get ready to rumble…..
