Elliotte Friedman’s source said Cliffy was one of their targets. But all the others were from the Eastern Conference. That just seems far more likely. Unless they thought the Kings would be desperate for offense (more centers?)…

Although it’s clear that it’s not a trade showcase, I also notice that Philly seems to go out of their way to give their young players ice time with the likes of Giroux, Briere etc. – and I believe anyone playing with Giroux will get lots of
sweet passes and open nets that will convince them that yeah, I can score in this league…..
