Player Notes
June 30, 2008
TSN of Canada reports that Tampa Bay agreed with Vaclav Prospal to a multi-year contract after the Lightning acquired his rights from the Philadelphia Flyers on June 18 in exchange for Nashville's seventh-round pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and Tampa Bay's fourth-round pick in 2009. "We were very pleased to be able to announce last week that we had reached terms with Vinny Prospal to bring him back to Tampa," owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie said.

Our View:The 33-year-old recorded four goals and 14 points in 18 regular-season contests last year following the trade.

The Flyers traded the rights to Vaclav Prospal back to the Lightning on Wednesday and received a seventh-round pick in 2008 and a conditional selection in 2009. "Vinny really didn't express much of an interest in coming back and playing for us next season," Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren informs the Sports Network. "His heart is elsewhere."

Our View:Prospal is coming off a productive season (71 points, 80 games) that included 13 points in the playoffs. His fantasy value is better in Tampa, though, since that's where he is apparently happy.

Vaclav Prospal is wiping away suggestions that his legs are tired. The forward has just one point in the last four games and has been mostly invisible. "We're not producing," Prospal tells the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We haven't done anything in two games. It's frustrating for all of us. We have to get through it somehow. It has nothing to do with being tired. We have to create more."

Our View:Prospal may be the center of some heat because he was so productive against the Capitals earlier in the playoffs. He didn't take a shot on Tuesday night, which is pretty bad for one of the team's better play-makers.
