Kubina to Philly?

[bustaheims]

Jon Kalinski from the ahl.

I know they've been speculating it's him over at HFBoards, but, I don't think that has been confirmed yet.

EDIT: Never mind, foudn my own answer:

TBLightning: The Lightning have acquired a 2nd Rd pick in '12 or '13, a 4th Rd pick in '13 and LW Kalinski from Philadelphia in exchange for Pavel Kubina

That means it's Florida's 2nd rounder being sent to the Lightning.

@Kpatt9386. Tampa Bay is believed to be taking a contract back....likely ECHL player.

Sounds like Tampa wins if they're getting a bonafide prospect back.

Definitely not a bonafide prospect.  Just a body.

I think you missed the joke.

Oh so he is not opposed to deadline deals, just opposed to deadline deals from the maple leafs.

Clearly, he's open to being moved when he's a UFA in the summer, but not in situations where he wasn't.

look to small differences if you want.  He looks like a jerk to me for this decision.

A year of a players life is a small difference?

2 years. When he turned down a deal to San Jose, he had 2 full seasons left on his contract. That's a pretty significant difference from 2 months.

...not to mention that it's actually his choice to begin with, tough to say he's a jerk for exercising his rights.

How is Philly still under the cap?

They sent Bourdon down to the AHL, which just barely put them below the ceiling.

LTIR, Pronger and Laperriere at least, I think there are a couple others too.
