First off here's what the Flyers lost, and gained, in my eyes.
Jeff Carter - This was forseen. Carts wasn't performing up to what he was being paid, and was injured all the time. While he was a goal scorer, he didn't dominate games and rule the ice like so many of the games elites players. He deserves upmost credit for his goals last year, but on the ice, his presence wasn't there. And my eyes will never look at him the same considering if he would of lifted a wrist shot, we would of been 60 minuets away from winning the Stanley Cup. I think that play spoke louder than words.
1. If you forgot, he didn't score, and 51 did not deflect the shot in any way. 2. If you forgot, that was with 1:31 left in the 3rd period of a 3-3 tie in Game 6.
While Carts was appreciated, I think the Flyers got the better end of the deal. They got to unload a overpaid player who had a incredibly long contract.
They picked up a very talented 21 year old skater in Jakub Voracek who tallied around 30 assists a season and had 18 goals last year. He's also 6'2" 215lbs, a big winger, which the team needs urgently. Voracek is a member of the Czech-Republic World Juniors team for the last couple of years.
Also just as important, Flyers picked up the 8th pick in the NHL draft, along with a 3rd round.
