The ONLY thing I didn't like about the trade, Flyers got softer to play against with Umberger over Hartnell.

The best part about the trade is 103 PIM vs 26 PIM's

Less shorthanded equals good.

Sidney Crosby only had 1 ES goal in his last 18 playoff games. He's slightly less awful than Hartnell.

So was Umberger getting bought out because he demanded a trade?

the moment the news broke

With the Clarkson/Clowe/Burrows/Laich deals so roundly mocked, you'd think a GM would actually be praised for pro-actively moving a guy like that who's locked into too much term when the opportunity presented itself.

Guess not.

I'd say the Columbus Blue Jackets pulled off a fantastic deal, and the Flyers did not.
