The Kassassin Train Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Flyers acquire Wisniewski and Leclaire It turns out that Paul Holmgren wasn't done on the fronts of upgrading his team. The Flyers have also been able to acquire defenseman James Wisniewski and Back Up goaltender Pascal Leclaire. Going back to the Tampa Bay Lightening are Craig Smith, Brendan Ranford and Jonas Enroth. "With James coming to us in this deal we feel like we have an extremely strong top 4 with Bogosian, Blum, Sekera and now adding James makes me extremely pleased." Certainly with Ryan Miller getting majority of the starts in Philadelphia, Jonas Enroth was a piece that the Lightening wanted in this deal. "We're sad to see such a talented goalie such as Jonas go to another organization, but we got another very capable one in Pascal. We believe that Ryan can help him get his game back on track. Today Philadelphia sent shockwaves through the entire league by obtaining Milan Lucic, and now with the addition of Wisniewski and Leclaire, the Flyers certainly look a lot more like contenders than they did a few weeks ago. How the team puts it together will be interesting to see. They certainly have gained sized with Lucic and solidified their top 6 with the addition in Wisniewski. Also coming with Wisniewski and Leclaire is a 3rd 2014 pick and a conditional 7th round 2014 pick. Paul Holmgren was busy on the phone still and declined to do any interviews. Will this be it? Currently this what the Flyers have for their opening night of hockey in the 2012 - 2013 Season Philadelphia Flyers 2012 - 2013 Milan Lucic - Travis Zajac - Matt Read David Perron - Adam Henrique - David Jones Cal Clutterbuck - Dana Tyrell - Jack Skille Mathieu Perreault - Scott Glennie - Brett Connolly Andrej Sekera - Zach Bogosian James Wisniewski - Jonathon Blum Marc-Andrew Bergeron - John Moore Ryan Miller Pascal Leclaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kassassin Train Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Also to announce, The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club have also made a blockbuster move. After stern negotiations, Winnipeg has acquired D Victor Hedman, a 2013 1st Round Pick, a 2013 2nd Round Pick and a 2014 2nd Round Pick in exchange for F Phil Kessel. Additionally, Cal O'Reilly will be joining the Jets and Zac Rinaldo will be moving to the Rangers. In a smaller move, Winnipeg has traded C Zack Smith and RW Kyle Palmeiri to Tampa Bay for C Roman Horak, RW Chuck Kobasew and a 2013 6th Round Pick. Due to the holes created with the departure of Kessel, I am heavily shopping Dion Phaneuf. I need a winger from someone who is strong on the sides and weak on defense. And on that note, the general consensus seems to be that everyone wants CPU trading, are we going to move forward with that? A lot of teams have dimensional needs - Philly only had one LW of note until he acquired Looch. I only have Bergenheim and Grabner, neither of which is worth writing home about. There's a lot of CPU teams that not only meet our needs, but have holes in their lineups where our players would benefit. To be perfectly honest, it's probably easier to fleece a human GM in this game than the CPU. It's a huge improvement over NHL12 and previous. Anyways, my 2 cents, but I'm also stuck with players I'd like more freedom in being able to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman26 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I tried watching a game and just ended up simming it, sorry about that. Where does it give you the option to watch the game? Everytime I try and move my controller to the middle, it just tells me that I have to choose a side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure GM Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 There is a poll up on our league site for trades with the CPU.
