Flyers trade Prospal rights for 7th round pick
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - June 18, 2008 Prospal, a free agent, recorded four goals and 10 assists in 18
games for the Flyers last season. He added three goals and 10
assists in 17 playoff games.
"Vinny really didn't express much of an interest in coming back
and playing for us next season," Flyers general manager Paul
Holmgren said. "His heart is elsewhere."
The Flyers will receive Nashville's 2008 seventh-rounder from
Tampa Bay and a conditional pick in 2009.
The Flyers acquired Prospal, 33, from the Lightning in February
in exchange for defenseman Alexandre Picard and a 2009 second-round
pick. Prospal has 179 goals and 375 assists in 792 games over
seasons with five teams.
