Sergei Bobrovsky Just Traded to Columbus

       In what can not be considered too much of a surprise, Flyers' backup goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has apparently just been traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for 3 draft picks.  Looks like the Flyers will continue to stock up on young talent.  While most of us are Bobrovsky fans here in Philly it was definitely his time to go.  Bobrovsky has too much potential to spend the next 8 years sitting behind Bryzgalov.  Going to the Blue Jackets will give Bob a chance to spread his wings.  Hopefully Columbus won't destroy Bob's notoriety though, as they tend to do with everyone there.  Though if recent trade history is any indicator, Bob may very well be in for a Stanley Cup victory this coming season.  We should know relatively soon who the Flyers get in exchange from this move as the draft is tomorrow in Pittsburgh.  Good luck in hockey purgatory Bob.
