Trade Nullified


The transaction sending Kyle McLaren from the San Jose Sharks organization to Philadelphia has been rejected by the league because McLaren failed his physical.  He will however be able to play for Philadelphia's farm team, the Phantoms.

I didn't particularly like this trade for Philadelphia to begin with, so perhaps it is a blessing in disguise.  Acquiring a guy like McLaren seems to be a reversion to the mentality in place when they spent a boatload to bring in Derian Hatcher and Mike Rathje.  I'm glad to see the Flyers' having success right now, but we all know where they finished in the standings two seasons ago.
