In yet another deal with the Philadelphia Flyers Nashville picked up Jason Pominville in a trade for Ryane Clowe. Clowe played well here, but just never really found solid chemistry with anyone. He is having a career year in the NHL and I wanted to make it work with him, but couldn't get it figured. We had a few talks over the past few days and this deal came about basically out of the blue, but just made sense.
Nashville also sends the Philly 1st with Clowe in the deal. We had a condition from a prior deal (wherein I would send Philly a 2nd if DiPietro plays 35 nhl games this season) and that is deemed satisfied with this move as well. I'm thrilled to get out from under that as the Isles seem intent on playing the kid even though they are getting slaughtered.
Overall this gives Nashville a good scoring threat and legitimate top line winger. Thanks Joe for the talks and quick deal.
