Kris Versteeg traded from Flyers to Florida Panthers

Dale Tallon likes those old Chicago Blackhawks. Another one is joining him.

Kris Versteeg has been traded from the Flyers to the Panthers for a second round pick in either 2012 or 2013 and San Jose’s third round pick in 2012. For the record, the Flyers traded a first rounder and a third rounder for him at the deadline. Just saying.

We were wondering where the Flyers would get the room to sign Wayne Simmonds, who we haven’t heard a peep about on this July 1. This is where the money will come from, as we expect Simmonds to get about $1.8 million per year on his contract with the Flyers.

Trading Versteeg sheds a hair over $3 million off of the cap. Nice knowing you, guy.
