Ed Jovonovski was traded to Minnesota in a move that surprised many. With Flyers season looking more and more like they will miss playoffs GM VanStrepen decided to move Jovonovski for highly touted prospect Andrei Kostitsyn and young d-man Kurt Sauer. "Losing Ed hurt alot but we think we have a nice stable of young D-men and we are convident that one or two will step up in Eddie's absence, right now we are moving Francois Beauchemin up to play on second line with Chris Phillips and Chris Campoli will stay on 1st pairing with Joi Pitkanen, while new addition Kurt Sauer will be on 3rd pairing with Joe Melichar." 7th defenseman Christoph Schubert is itching to prove his worth and may get a look at the expense of the 5-6th d-man.
On another note Flyers are extremely excited to announce their new captain........ Joni Pitkanen. His alternates will be Phillips and McAmmond.
