The Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday traded goaltender Roman Cechmanek to the Los Angeles Kings for a second-round pick in the 2004 draft, ESPN's Ray Ferraro reports.
Cechmanek
Flyers general manager Bob Clarke said two weeks ago that he was attempting to trade Cechmanek, who signed a three-year contract extension worth $3 million a season in January 2002.
Cechmanek, 32, returned earlier this month to his native Czech Republic for the summer. At that time, Clarke wasn't sure if the goalie still wanted to play in the NHL.
Clarke said this month the Flyers will pursue a new goaltender through a trade or free agency. He expects backup Robert Esche to be a starter in the league, but isn't certain the 25-year-old goalie is ready.
Cechmanek was 33-15-10 with a 1.83 goals-against average in the regular season, helping the Flyers finish just one point behind first-place New Jersey in the Atlantic Division.
But Cechmanek played poorly in the final two games of Philadelphia's second-round series against Ottawa, allowing nine goals on 46 shots.
Cechmanek has a 1.96 lifetime goals-against average in three seasons, lowest among goaltenders with at least 150 regular-season games since 1943-44.
Cechmanek, whose unconventional style sometimes left him vulnerable to rebounds, had been erratic since becoming the Flyers' starter in 2001.
In the 2003 playoffs, he won his first playoff series in three tries by shutting down Toronto, giving up only four goals in the last three games. In the Ottawa series, Cechmanek had two shutouts before the Flyers fell apart in the last two games, losing 5-2 and 5-1.

hmmm, sehr bedenklich. auf der einen seite muß er die letzten beiden ottawa games klar auf seine kappe nehmen, aber auf der anderen hat er toronto ausgeschaltet und auch gegen die sens 2 shutouts gehabt. und in der saison einen sensationellen gegentorschnitt...
hmmm... gemischte gefühle würde ich sagen... bin gespannt wer es richten soll und ob das wirklich die lösung ist/war !
In Antwort auf: Roman Cechmanek to the Los Angeles Kings
...hmm, schade eigentlich!! Ich find Checko cool!!
Mal sehen ob sie wirklich Esche als No. 1 nehmen, das Zeug dazu hat er unbestritten, aber ob es auch langt darauf zu bauen, weiß ich nicht!!
Ich sehe es änlich wie Centurion, mit gemischten Gefühlen!
P.S.: Ein Checko in der Form wie dieses Jahr hilft aber einem Team wie den Kings ungemein!!

eigentlich ist der deal chech gegen 1 draft-pick lächerlich. denke aber wenn kein fa geholt wird könnte dieser mit einem nachwuchsspieler gegen nen goalie getauscht werden.
VARIOUS SOURCES REPORT THE CAROLINA HURRICANES TRADED CENTRE HAROLD DRUKEN TO THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS IN EXCHANGE FOR MINOR LEAGUE DEFENCEMAN ALLAN ROURKE!
Spector's Note: My thanks to all of you who sent this in. So Druken returns to the Leafs after being dealt by them to the Hurricanes. His once-promising NHL career is in jeopardy, but GM Pat Quinn evidently sees something in him to consider giving him another shot with the organization. Playing for the Leafs affiliate in St. John's won't hurt Druken, a Newfoundlander, either.
