Likely Chicago's last year to make a serious run with Kane and Toews getting fat raises next year. Can't blame them for maybe overpaying a bit.

Maybe it's just me, but I absolutely hate trades based on how far a team goes in the playoffs.

They have another compensatory 2nd rounder because they lost Hayes to FA.

I think its great. This trade is a great example. Lots of question marks on Kimmo. So hard to place a value on him. So add some conditions.

Love Kimmo. was really sad to see him struggling with his weird ailments, and glad he's making a comeback. Philly has a lot of depth defensemen and was rumored to be shopping around many of them. Trading Kimmo makes the most sense.

That said, his defensive game has really fallen off. He takes a lot of minor penalties because he loses a step on his guy. Win Philly.

Hes had a good run as a flyer

This has the potential to be a real steal for Chicago. Timonen hasn't played but I think he is a great defenseman, assuming he plays at the level he usually does.

To be fair, he is 39 years old coming off an essentially season-long injury.

Feel good story for sure - wish Kimmo a successful return.

Still, surprised by the value obtain for him and Jagr.
