Philadelphia made several significant moves in the summer — re-signing leftwinger John LeClair to a five - year, $ 45 million contract, adding steady free - agent defenseman Eric Weinrich and landing the
rights to elusive Czech center Jiri Dopita in a
trade with the Panthers — but none had the power to heal like dealing a once - in - a-generation talent such
as Lindros to the rival Rangers for defenseman Kim Johnsson,
winger Jan Hlavac and forward prospect Pavel Brendl.
A
right back by
trade, the summer signing has come off the bench
as a
winger in his two appearances so far and the decision seems to be rightly justified after his performances there.
Ed Miliband was experiencing a strange twist of fate today,
as he faced disputes with his brother and
trade unionists only to be supported by Tory
right -
winger Nadine Dorries.
