G-Phil's Flyers drop F Blake Wheeler (BOS); add F Sergei Kostitsyn (NSH)


Analysis: Blake Wheeler had an incredible rookie season, a big sophomore slump, and hasn't had the kind of rebound season fans hoped for. Why does that sound so familiar?

Sergei Kostitsyn is allegedly only 23 years old. I was surprised by that. He's been around - despite this being his fourth year in the league, he spent 16 games last year in the AHL. This year, the Belarusian Belorussian guy from Belarus is on pace for 48 points.  He had been notably more productive lately, riding a six game, nine point streak until the night Greg picked him up.

    Having dropped the enigmatic Blake Wheeler for the enigmatic Sergei Kostitsyn, no reasonable or (unreasonable) trade offers refused for the enigmatic Nikolay Zherdev and the enigmatic Jiri Hudler.

    I am currently working towards a no-Russians policy (it's working for the Canucks!). Apparently, even Ovechking is enigmatic.
