Flyers Deal Timonen to Stars

A tricky headline by the folks over at TSN nearly had me eating my own words. Just as I was thinking about how few trades there were going to be this year based on who the rumoured targets are, I saw the headline on TSN:
Flyers Trade D Timonen to Dallas

It was the fourth article meaning it was relegated to the right side as just a headling with no blurb. And for a Timonen trade, that seemed a bit odd. Sure, it didn't involve any Canadian teams but a deal like this should be more important than the Leafs being ready for a game, right?

And on a sidenote, when has a team ever said "Damn man, we're not ready for this team at all. Stake the farm against us, we're gonna lose."??

Anyways, in this case, it was Jussi Timonen who was a fifth round pick by the Flyers in 2001. So on finding that out, I think it can fall even farther down the TSN article list. But kudos to them for drawing more page views by not giving away that it wasn't Kimmo Timonen.
