...the Flyers got an extension after the 3 p.m. deadline and traded away a sixth round draft pick to the Sharks for defenseman Kyle McLaren, who played in their minor-league system this year. 

McLaren is not that small, at 6 feet 1 inches and 230 pounds.

We'll see if this pans out to be any significant pickup. I'm still trying to get over that awful trade Homer made earlier.
