|  #1 Posted on 9.2.03 0107.44 | Maybe I just haven't followed the NHL as a whole closely enough this season, but this sure seems to me like a completely uneven trade, Pavel Brendl and Bruno St. Jacques for Ryan Bast and Sami Kapanen. Did Kapanen have an outrageously large salary that Carolina needed to dump, or has he just hit _that_ hard of a slump this season?
From the looks of Kapanen's performance in the Flyers/Rangers game, it sure looks like he's ready and able to contribute to the Flyers' offensive cause while LeClair and Gagne are still sidelined with injuries...| Promote this thread! |           | Bullitt

|  #2 Posted on 9.2.03 0320.17 | I believe Kapanen makes about $2.5 million US this season, but has about 6 goals (before his goal for Philly today) to show for it.
As a 'Canes fan (well, as a Ron Francis fan,) I'm not too happy with this deal, but Brendl does have an upside...if he can ever reagin the touch he had here in Calgary as a junior.

Brendl has Alexander Daigle Disease -- a chronic disorder involving motivational deficiency. Perhaps a change of scenery and bosses will do him good, perhaps not.
