Philadelphia GM Paul Holmgren – not a man known for conservative approaches at roster fixes – cemented his legacy in Flyers history this afternoon by trading both of his club’s co-captains:
- C Jeff Carter to the Columbus Blue Jackets for W Jakub Voracek and 1st (8th overall) and third round picks, via The Cannon
- C Mike Richards to the Los Angeles Kings for uber-prospect F Brayden Schenn, W Wayne Simmonds, and a second round pick, via Battle of California
The explosion you recently heard outside the window was that of an Eastern fanbase in anarchy.
