Flyers trade Prospal back to the Lightning
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Lightning,  Philadelphia Flyers
PLAYERS: Vaclav Prospal,  Daniel Briere,  Simon Gagne
Paul Holmgren did it again, this time getting something for nothing. Vaclav Prospal, who the Flyers acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning in February, was sent back to the Lightning for two draft picks: a 7th round pick this year and a conditional pick next year.

        Not a matter of finding fault...just a nonissue really, nothing will come of it. Briere was as much at fault for the playoff performances, as was the stifling Pittsburgh defense.
