It was a most curious day for the Philadelphia Flyers. They got even deeper across the blue line by adding veteran big-bodied Stanley Cup winner Pavel Kubina, but once again, despite all the building and tinkering, appear to be lacking that one critical ingredient that has denied them a Cup for 36 years.
The Flyers jumped the queue ahead of teams like Boston, Chicago and the New York Rangers in the quest to add defensive depth before the Feb. 27 trade deadline by adding their second defenseman in the past 48 hours. They sent prospect Jon Kalinski, a conditional second-round pick acquired from Florida in the Kris Versteeg deal and their own fourth-round pick in 2013 to grab Kubina, who obviously included the Flyers on a list of teams to which he would agree to be traded.
The Flyers earlier picked up Nicklas Grossman from Dallas, making their blue line as deep as any in the Eastern Conference even without the services of captain Chris Pronger, who is lost for the season due to concussion issues.
