Timonen traded to Chicago

[flyersfan4706]

For a 2nd and a conditional.

Truly heartbroken

 

[flyersfan4706]

Love the value but I wish this happened in 48 hours.

Great return for Kimmo

I wish Kimmo nothing but the best, he's amazing

 

[wbon22]

A classy gentleman. I hope he finally gets his name on the Cup.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Parameters of conditional 4th-round pick: If Hawks win 2 rounds and Timonen plays in 50% or more of games then it goes to 3rd-rounder in 16

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: If Hawks win THREE rounds and Timonen plays in 50% or more of games then it goes to 2nd-round pick in 2016

Real nice return for him. That's a hard to do, but good deal for the flyers.

I'll be pullin for the Hawks in the playoffs. Kimmo deserves it.

Flyers trade Kimmo Timonen to Blackhawks | Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia

I really wish Timonen the best. I really wanted to see him play another game in orange and black. It's truly sad to see him go, but yet we all should be happy for him as he has a chance to win the cup.

Yea, I agree with the prevailing sentiments here on this thread. Wish him the best.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Wish you the best Kimmo! But great return Hexy...

Bitter sweat. Apparently they started looking trade when we were 12 points back. I said I didn't want to see him go but if he wanted to go to a contender, then God bless!

Timmo you were great for us sorry to see you go. Good Luck!

That'd be cool of Kimmo got a cup for his long road back.

For what it's worth, Timonen has not played well for the Hawks and is clearly done.

He is their #6 dman and playing 10 minutes per night. He doesn't have to be a stud and has played solid.

Well, we'll have to disagree. He's only held onto the #5/6 (not sure who has played worse, Timonen or Rozsival) spot because the other options are even more shaky. He really HASN'T played well. His stats aren't bad because he's been sheltered in terms of both zone starts and opponent's lines. I'm sure the Hawks thought they were getting more for their 2nd round and conditional picks. While his play hasn't ended on a good note he's still one of the good guys, and deserves to hoist the Cup.

It appears the Hawks will advance. This trade is looking better every day for us.

If they make it to the next round the 2016 4th becomes a 3rd. if they make it to the Cup the 3rd becomes a 2nd. Go Hawks.

Lets go Hawks beat the Wild!!!!!!

 

[Maverick426h]

I actually like the Hawks to win the Cup, so it will be great for us and for Timonen if that is the case.
