Player Notes
June 20, 2008
R.J. Umberger has in fact been dealt to the Columbus Blue Jackets as had previously been reported, according to the Associated Press. The Flyers received the 19th overall selection and a third rounder this year, while the Jackets also picked up the Flyers fourth round pick from tonights draft.

Our View:Umberger scored only 13 times on the year, but he really stepped up in the playoffs scoring 10 times during the Flyers run. Umberger isn't as talented as Patrick Marleau, another name rumored to have been headed to the Jackets, but if he is teamed with Rick Nash, what defensemen would want to face that physical duo?

R.J. Umberger could be dealt to the Blue Jackets by the end of the weekend, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

Our View:Umberger only scored 13 goals and 37 assists in 2007-08 with Philadelphia and is not an upper-level center, but he would be a sizable upgrade to the position.

The Senators and Flyers have had trade discussions involving center R.J. Umberger and defenseman Andrej Meszaros, the Ottawa Sun reports.

Our View:Umberger is coming off his best season as a pro, but the Flyers are set up well with centers. He could see a bump up the depth chart and possibly a shot at more points if he moves to Ottawa.
