Flyers trade recaps

The Philadelphia Flyers and the Phoenix Coyotes made a deal on Wednesday.

The Coyotes acquired forward Scottie Upshall and a second-round draft choice in 2011 in exchange for forward Daniel Carcillo.

Carcillo posted three goals and 10 points with 174 penalty minutes in 54 games this season. In parts of three years, all with Phoenix, the 24-year-old has 20 goals, 41 points and 572 PIMs in 129 games.

Upshall recorded seven goals and 21 points in 55 games in 2008-09. In 211 games over six seasons with Nashville and Philadelphia, the Alberta native has racked up 38 goals and 93 points.


The San Jose Sharks shipped veteran defenseman Kyle McLaren to the Philadelphia Flyers for a sixth-round pick in 2009.

McLaren, 31, racked up three goals and eight assists in 61 games for San Jose in 2007-08, but was waived prior to the start of this season.

He posted just seven assists in 17 games for the Sharks' AHL affiliate in Worcester.

The ninth overall pick of Boston in the 1995 draft, McLaren has registered 46 goals and 161 assists in 719 career games with the Bruins and the Sharks.
