Flyers Acquire Carcillo from Coyotes for Upshall

The Philadelphia Flyers added some toughness to their team on Wednesday by acquiring left wing Daniel Carcillo from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for left wing Scottie Upshall and a second round draft pick. Upshall was rumored to be on the move by the trade deadline in an attempt to free up salary cap space for a larger move. In 54 games so far this season, Carcillo has three goals and seven assists for 10 points and 174 penalty minutes. Upshall has seven goals and 14 assists for 21 points in 55 games. Carcillo brings lots of toughness to the Flyers' lineup and should be a character player for them. Upshall gives the Coyotes a gritty winger with plenty of offensive depth.
