Philadelphia Flyers acquired D Kyle McLaren from the San Jose Sharks for a 6th round pick. According to Sportsnet, McLaren did not pass the physical, therefore the trade has been nullified.

Does that mean he comes back to us?

Not sure if I know what a nullified trade consists of.

Poor Kyle.

Not that surprising he didn’t pass the physical though. The last prospect report said he’d been out since December with an injury.

The flyers didnt know he had a bum hand? We all did! perhaps we should all get scouting jobs or teach the philly scouts how to use:

From the Sharks Web site

"Kyle has been very professional about his situation this season," said Wilson. "From the beginning of the year, we made a commitment to Kyle to find an opportunity for him to play in the National Hockey League. Unfortunately, this deal didn’t work out but Kyle will return to the organization and work toward the full recovery of his hand.

But its kinda weird that the Flyers expected him to pass the physical. I mean, I don’t pay much attention to the WorSharks outside of random things that I pick up, but even I knew that he was plagued with injuries this season.

On the bright side, we can always call him up in the playoffs if guys are injured. The guy deserves another shot at the NHL.

Ohhhh

I like that thought….KMac coming up to deliver some awesome hip checks if we get caught playing Calgary. Oh! Look at what he did to Jokinen! That looks like it hurt!
