Flyers trade Preds pick back, acquiring Hartnell and Timonen
The Philadelphia Flyers have dipped into the free agent market a little early, thanks to the Nashville Predators.
Because of Nashville’s uncertain ownership future and an expected tight budget in the coming year, the Predators arranged with the Flyers to give them exclusive negotiating rights to two coveted free agents – defenceman Kimmo Timonen and forward Scott Hartnell.
Sources tell TSN the Flyers have now signed both Hartnell and Timonen to long-term contracts.
This means the Flyers have acquired Scott Upshall, Ryan Parent, Hartnell and Timonen for Peter Forsberg.

Awesome deal!
Going through hockey withdrawl. Come on Wiss!
great, now get gomez.
gagne, gomez, knuble
harnell, richards, carter
umberger, downie, Upshaw
timonen, pitkanen
coburn, hatcher
picard, parent
That lineup would struggle to win a Calder Cup, or a Wiss cup.
Carmen, Jones, Bake
golin, Bernie, Andre
Goat, Dean, Hoagie
K Mac, M. Dennis, Cleary
Carter, Amos
Bernick, Colin
Aldo, Art
Jenkins, Val
That would beat the Flyers.
I would really dislike playing that lineup. Golin, Bernie and Andre whirling around would be a serious pain in the ass.
And Jones and Carmen criscrossing then dropping a pass to Bake. At least I’d have Jones to hide behind.
And I would love to listen to Jenkins talk to Val on the bench. That has real comedy potential.
“kMac”. a little street-wise, but it has a ring to it.
i think val over shoup is a bad idea…..and what about berkery bros. centered by a drunk denny on the same line-lookout ogie, mad dog and dr. hook…..beauty!!!! nothing like making up our own lagerhead dream teams………
oh yeah wsc opens next week a source tells me…..
different source tells me the same thing
