The Flyers started out draft day by making a major move. They sent RJ Umberger to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for the 19th and 167th overall picks in the draft. They used that 19th pick to draft Luca Sbisa, defenseman from the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League.

Yesterday, the Vancouver Canucks announced that 21 year old defenseman Luc Bourdon died. It was reported that he lost control of his motorcycle near his home of Shippagan in northern New Brunswick.
