By Bryan Reynolds -
Mike Russo just informed the world via Twitter that the Wild have traded a 2013 3rd round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for Darroll Powe. The twenty six year old center is a bottom six style player, mostly a checker, grinder, PK guy, so it is good to see the Wild not give up a huge amount to get him. Another RFA Chuck Fletcher will need to qualify, but Powe is affordable with a $725,000 cap hit right now.
He's not a flashy pickup, but he will do what Fletcher is aiming for... make the team younger and faster. Make the jump for more details.
Philly fans seem to love the guy, and after watching some video, I think I know why. Many of the videos on Youtube feature Powe in borderline hits. Not saying they are dirty, but I can certainly see why players would hear footsteps:
What say you, WIlderness?
