If by "something else" you mean cost cutting, then you're dead on.

Upshall and a 2nd to Phoenix for Daniel Carcillo

QuoteThe Phoenix Coyotes kept busy as they have acquired forward Scottie Upshall and a second round pick from the Philadelphia Flyers for tough guy Daniel Carcillo.

Upshall, 25, is a first round (6th overall) draft pick of the Nashville Predators in 2002. He has six goals and 14 assists in 54 games this season.

The Flyers acquired the Fort McMurray native, along with Ryan Parent and a first and third round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, from the Predators in exchange for Peter Forsberg on February 15 2007.

Upshall is also a two-time silver medalist for Canada at the World Junior Championships and a gold medalist for Canada at the 2000 Under-18 Four Nations tournament.

The 24-year old Carcillo is leading the league in penalty minutes with 174 in 54 games. He has also scored three goals and added seven assists.

The King City, Ontario native signed a two-year deal with the Coyotes this past off-season, but spent time in head coach Wayne Gretzky's doghouse for taking what Gretzky described as selfish penalties.

fargin AWFUL move. This is NOT the Broad Street Bullies era anymore.

better dump Cote.

I thought the same thing re: Banner. Ha.

Sad.

SunMo · March 04, 2009, 03:17:05 PM

they had no cap space for injury call ups, so they had to do something

rjs246 · March 04, 2009, 03:18:21 PM

He's got to be a better fighter than Cote.

if someone is hurt their salary comes off the books...plus you could have like dis said cut any number of players like a cote to give yourself wiggle room in the casse of short term injuries

PhillyGirl · March 04, 2009, 03:19:26 PM

THAT is what they got in return?
