Kyle McLaren has been acquired by The Philadelphia Flyers from the San Jose Sharks.
Kyle McLaren is 31 years old and has played in 719 NHL games in his career. He was stuck in the minors in a Sharks organization that was stacked on the blueline. He's a physical, stay-at-home blueliner who should give Philly a bit of depth and experience during the stretch drive and the postseason.
The San Francisco Chronicle notes that with this move "only one of the Western Conference Stanley Cup contenders to do nothing Wedenesday (sic) was Detroit, which has loads of talent, cap issues and intermittent confidence in its goaltending."

John C Odom And The Trade Of Maple Bats
John C Odom who had the Tommy John Surgery and who was a baseball pitcher, died on Nov 5, 2008 at the age of 26 years. His death was caused by an accidental overdose from heroin, methamphetamine, benzylpiperazine and alcohol.
John Odom had an injured right elbow and also had a surgery in 2005 and this surgery was called as Tommy John Surgery. In the Tommy John Surgery a ligament was replaced. John Odom was healed and he also got a tattoo on the scar caused from the surgery. His tattoo was in Latin and it read as “poena par sapientia” which meant "Pain Equals Wisdom."
John Odom was traded for 10 bats in 2008, which costs about $665 in value. Odom might have felt terrible but he never revealed about it. John Odom visibly appeared cheerful, playing along with the publicity that was overestimated by the deal called “John Odom Trade Bat”. Six months later, Odom was dead from drug overdose.
Dan Shwam who was the manager of John Odom on the Laredo Broncos of the United League last year said "I guarantee this trade thing really bothered him. That really worried me". "I really believe, knowing his background, that this drove him back to the bottle, that it put him on the road to drugs again."

John C Odom The Bat Man
John C Odom was called as "Bat Man" or "Bat Guy" or "Bat Boy." But he is forgotten recently. This Baseball player is a slender right hander.
Most of the base ball fans will be left blank when it comes to John C Odom. He was the minor league player who had traded for 10 maple bats. It was a big joke when a rumor spread about an unusual swap jumped off the sports pages, and Odom went from pitcher to punch line and around 6 months after the trade, he was dead.
The medical examiner declared that John c Odom's death in Georgia on Nov. 5 was an accidental overdose of heroin, methamphetamine, the stimulant benzylpiperazine and alcohol, he was just 26 when he died.

"I really believe, knowing his background, that this drove him back to the bottle, that it put him on the road to drugs again."
"It really is sad" "He was a fun-loving guy. I mean, just high energy all the time. I stayed on his couch just because he was on the same team I was on. I asked around a couple guys who I could stay with until I could find a place." said the 2008 NL Cy Young winner and former ‘mate Tim Lincecum expressing his feelings.
"He was always wanting to joke around, always wanting to keep the clubhouse mood light." said the noted infielder Kevin Frandsen.

Dmitri, Delmon And Larry Young
The MLB Network will be airing a documentary of two-hour on the Nationals first baseman Dmitri Young with his brother, Delmon, and their father, Larry tonight at 9:00
The Description of the network is as follows:
Are Young: A Baseball Family, the first-ever original film by MLB Productions, chronicles a seven-year period of MLB players and brothers Dmitri and Delmon Young, and their demanding father, Larry, who helped guide them into the Major Leagues. The film documents Dmitri, currently on the Washington Nationals, who makes the All-Star team in 2003, watches with joy as his brother is selected as the number one pick in the Draft that same year, but then begins to battle alcoholism and is released by the Detroit Tigers in 2005. Soon after, Dmitri comes close to death due to an undiagnosed case of diabetes, and then bounces back to make the All-Star team in 2007 and become the National League’s 2007 Comeback Player of the Year. We Are Young: A Baseball Family also chronicles the controversy that has surrounded Delmon—the first overall pick in the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft—ever since his 50-game suspension for flipping a bat in at an umpire during a Minor League game. Delmon would learn a valuable lesson, and eventually is called up to the Major Leagues in the fall of 2005, where he would make an immediate impact with Tampa. After finishing second in the American League Rookie of the Year honors the next season, Delmon was traded to the Twins. Monday will mark the television debut for the 96-minute film, which was selected for inclusion in the first annual U.S. Sports Film Festival, held in Philadelphia last October.
