NHL Draft Trade Tracker 2011: (Flyers open with a blockbuster bang)

Instead of writing a novel post here is the trade tracker for 2011 NHL Entry Draft:

Columbus: Jeff Carter
Philadelphia: Jakub Voracek, 1st round pick (8th overall), 3rd Round Pick

Analysis: Good trade for Blue Jackets, but a good financial move for Philadelphia who does have cap problems. Not a good hockey/on ice move by Philly.

Los Angeles: Mike Richards
Philadelphia: Wayne Simmonds, Brayden Schenn, 2nd round pick.

Analysis: In two summers, the Flyers have gotten rid of their core front line in Simon Gagne, Jeff Carter and now their captain Mike Richards. But, they do get good value and a franchise goalie in Ilya Bryzgalov, a 9 year $51 million dollar deal.

Toronto: John-Michael Liles
Colorado: 2nd rd pick 2012

Edmonton: Ryan Smyth
Los Angeles: Gilbert Brule

Minnesota: Devin Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle, 1st rounder 2011 (Zack Phillips)
San Jose: Brent Burns, 2nd round pick 2012

Florida: Brian Campbell
Chicago: Rostislav Olesz
