flyers traded the nashville #1 pick for hartnell and timonnen

outstanding move

Those guys suck.  The pick would have been way more valuable.



I'm kidding.  I love the move, obviously.  Straight salary dump by Nashville?

Uh oh... from Hartnell's Wikipedia page:

President George W. Bush is one of the people he would like to meet.

Really?  Wow.

[SunMo]

i knew about the Timonnen stuff, but what about Hartnell, good player?

Straight salary dump by Nashville?

pretty much

both are free agents to be

[SunMo]

basically, that trade boils down to Forsberg for Upshall, Parent, Hartnell, Timonen, and a 3rd rounder

Hartnell's a 25-year-old right winger, a former Nashville #1 pick.

Here are his stats.

[ice grillin you]

hartnell is a power forward type...reminds me a lot of scott mellanby when he was young

i believe he has a concussion history tho

hes only 25 which is great

[rjs246]

20+ goal scorer, plays both ways, 90-100 PIMs, great +/- this year and only 25. Nice.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Timonen is a bit of a risk-taker and has bad +/- numbers, but he's boys with Sami Kapanen, FWIW.

Hartnell is definitely a Philly-type player and is a great get.  I hope he doesn't go the way of ol' Jello Head.

[Geowhizzer]

Fortunately the Flyers have always had luck with concussion-prone players...

[Rome]

Getting Timonen before he hit the market is a bold stroke.  Well done.
