As a side note, I thought the Flyers trading Jeff Carter to the Kings was done in bad faith. They've done it after signing him to a contract with a no trade, but traded him before the new contract kicked in. That's a scenario the GM should probably avoid.

That's the Jackets deal right? Not the Kings.
Which is why eventually CBJ had to flip him to LA because he was so pissed off.
