    NHL: Flyers get Amonte!

    Of course all the Canucks are either asleep or away, but Philly just pulled off this deal. "In exchange for Amonte, the Coyotes get left wing Guillaume Lefebvre, Philadelphia's second-round draft pick in the 2004 draft and Atlanta's third-round pick this season, which the Flyers got in a trade last season."

    Is Philly now the favorite in the East? Or do New Jersey, Ottawa, etc. have more than enough?

      He was always a good player on a **** team. I wouldn't have minded if the Devs got him for a song and prayer, like Philly did.

        I have always liked Amonte, but I never liked the Flyers.
        They are almost as bad as the Stars or the Avs in my books.

            Hmmm... I can't really figure out if this will make an effective difference or not for the Flyers... It might. It has a better chance of doing so than, say, the Kapanen deal.

            Do I think Philly will win the East? Nah. I think New Jersey, and possibly Toronto (though I HATE to admit it), will be the teams to beat.

              I know you Yanks are rich, but when did an $18 million contract become a song and a prayer. That's about how much money the Flyers will have to pay Amonte.

                The Flyers have a sorry habit of folding in the first round of the playoffs no matter what. I'm sure this year will be no different.

                  Amonte hasn't been good for the past two years. The Hawks let go of him for a reason, and Phoenix found out why the Hawks let him go. He'll fit in nicely in Philly, though... as a third line winger. That's what Amonte is. Maybe being with Roenick again will spark him, but Amonte never had more than 30 some goals when he played with Roenick... and now he's really diminished in skills since then. I predict a first-round exit from the playoffs for Philly. With Amonte getting around 12-17 goals next year.

                  EDIT: Anyone want to buy an authentic Hawk's Amonte game jersey?

                    Look at what Philly gave up. $18 mill isn't that much for a star of Amonte's stature.

                      He used to be *almost* as good as Pavel Bure.

                          He plays as much defense and is as physical as Pavel Bure...

                            Pavel Bure, the greatest team player ever! Now that's the biggest joke ever.

                              Holy Trade Deadline!

                              The Leafs get Gilmour and Housley (Housley AND WESLEY? Now that's an experienced defensive pairing!)...

                              And the Oilers get... Radek Dvorak (um...), Raffi Torres (yay!), Brad Isbister (okay, good), and Cory Cross (okay). I'm... worried.

                              Also, Osgood goes to St. Louis... That's an interesting one. Improves their chances a bit, I'd say.
