Vincent Lecavalier: Traded to LA

The Flyers traded Lecavalier and Luke Schenn to the Kings in exchange for Jordan Weal and a third-round draft pick on Wednesday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

Analysis:

The Flyers' are reportedly retaining half of Lecavalier and Schenn's salaries, but are still freeing up over $4 million in cap space, which will give the team some major roster flexibility, and allow them to acquire more players via trade if they desire. Lecavalier is well past his prime, and has only played in seven contests with Philadelphia this season, notching a single assist in those games. It isn't clear what kind of opportunity he'll get with the Kings, but with Weal on his way to the Flyers, he'll at least provide LA with additional depth at center.
