Philly Sports Daily: Carter Trade Rumor has Realistic Framework

Rumors, speculation and amateur attempts at general managing have become a staple of every NHL offseason. While ideas become somewhat intriguing during a summer of disappointment and vacant of real news, rumor mongering is typically unreliable and in some cases, annoying.

So when the scuttlebutt broke from Twitter on Monday night that New York-based news hound Incarcerated Bobclaimed the Toronto Maple Leafs and Flyers are in “serious discussions involving Jeff Carter,” there was a spark of curiosity and rightfully very few true believers. Just another Carter trade rumor.

However, there is one overlooked nugget in Bob’s proposed deal that is hard to ignore. The formula actually makes sense.

Syvret gets the call; Jones out a week.

The Flyers have recalled 23-year old Phantoms’ defenseman Danny Syvret to replace injured defenseman Randy Jones.  Jones tweaked his hip/groin in the second period against the New York Rangers on Sunday.

“It is still pretty tender today.  I’m still getting treatment, but it is still pretty sore,” said Jones. “I am getting, by but it’s not like it’s life or death, that’s for sure.”

Syvret has been a warrior for the Phantoms this season, scoring 11 goals and 37 assists in 65 games.  He is ranked second in the AHL in points for a defenseman.  Syvret played 16 games with the Edmonton Oilers in 2006-07.  He tallied just one assist during that time.

Syvret came to Philadelphia in a trade for center Ryan Potulny in early 2008.  Seen as a project, the defenseman began to flurish in Philadelphia under the coaching of John Paddock.  And for all his hard work and production, the Flyers are rewarding him with a shot.  He will wear number 26.
