The Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers made the first significant trade of the off-season on June 6, as the Flyers shipped forward Ryan Potulny to the Oilers in exchange for defenseman Danny Syvret.
The 23-year-old Potulny, who was drafted by the Flyers in the third round of the 2003 entry draft, has spent the past three season split between the Flyers and their AHL farm team the Phantoms. During that time he's played 44 NHL games, notching 7 goal and 14 points.
Syvret, 22, was the Oilers third round pick in the 2005 entry draft, and has spent the last three seasons split between the Oilers and their farm system. He has 26 NHL games under his belt over two seasons but spent all last season split between Springfield and Hershey in the AHL.
