Flyers trade Harry Zolnierczyk to Ducks for Jay Rosehill
Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Flyers made a minor move on Monday, acquiring bruising LW Jay Rosehill from the Anaheim Ducks for speedy winger Harry Zolnierczyk.
The 6-3, 215-pound Rosehill has spent the season with the Ducks' AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, registering eight points and 90 penalty minutes in 33 games.
Prior to this season, the 27-year-old played for the Toronto Maple Leafs franchise, appearing in 31 games in the NHL for Toronto, going scoreless with 60 penalty minutes.
He sounds like a version of Tom Sestito.
In two years with the Flyers, Zolnierczyk appeared in a total of 44 regular season games and had seven points.
Meanwhile, Claude Giroux (@28CGiroux) tweeted this to Scott Hartnell (@Hartsy19): good luck in St Louis. You’re a great teammate and friend. Just make sure you keep your head up next year.
Apparently, it was an April Fool's Day joke.

Wasted move.....how about losing to get a lottery pick Homer?— TruthTeller01- Read: Jake, we don't want you fighting anymore, so we went out and got someone to do it for you.
- Yippee! Traded away speed and skill for a another goon. Just what the Flyers need. Typical Holmgren / Clarke & Snider.
Did the Flyers win the cup with Dave Brown, Craig Berube, Donald Brashear, Jody Shelley or any of the other goons?
No. But one of those goons is now an assistant coach and another is the director of player development.
I feel like I'm watching a cheap remake of Slap Shot. Where are the Hansons, did Homer lose their number?— john-walker - Harry - "skilled"? That's funny. There was no room for Sesito when he was waived. In case you haven't noticed....there has been some injuries since then.... Harry Z tried hard but has no "skill" and cannot score. We can't have teams taking runs at G. — cdedrick05
- finally. someone with a brain. some on here are talking like we just traded away a franchise player. harry won't ever be anything more than a 3rd/4th line player in this league. he will be 26 in september so he is who he is, whuch is not very good. in 151 career AHL & NHL games, the great harry z has 20 goals and 23 assists. less than 1 point every 3 games. he isn't good. period.
- Keep drinking that 70's Kool Aid— ghost78
- They should, Pens, Bruins, Blackhawks, Sens, Leafs, and Devils are drinking that koolaid and are all playoff teams this year. Do you even watch hockey? Your Flyers were a pure finesse team this year, just like all the dumb fans have been crying for all these years, and how they doing? Go watch the KHL, the NHL is too rough for you. — oobeyboobey
- The instigator rule makes goons useless. For example: Player X throws a dirty check at Claude Giroux. The next shift, Jay Rosehill skates around for 25 seconds trying to make Player X fight. Because Player X isn't a moron, he just skates away from Jay Rosehill (which isn't hard to do, because he can't skate and sucks at hockey). If Jay Rosehill fights him anyway, then there's an instigator penalty, and the flyers are screwed.
So instead of having someone on the bench who can actually play the sport, you waste that spot, and you waste the 2 minutes of ice time he gets that night. Do YOU even watch hockey? Go watch the WWE, the NHL is too smart for you.— FlyersKevin - He's a class act.
Admirals defenseman Jay D. Rosehill was arrested Friday and charged with stealing a car while his team was on the road.
Rosehill, 22, was released on bond from the Broome County Jail on a felony charge of third-degree grand larceny, the Press & Sun-Bulletin newspaper of Bunghamton reported. His release came shortly before the Admirals played the Senators.
The Broome County Sheriff's Office said a vehicle had been reported stolen from the parking lot of Madame Oar's, a Binghamton strip club.
A club employee said she had started the car and left it to warm up when it was taken.
Shortly after the report was made, about 1:25 a.m., a deputy spotted the car pulling into the parking lot of the Xhibition Gentlemen's Club.
The deputy said he saw a man, later identified as Rosehill, run from the car, the Press & Sun-Bulletin reported.— john-walker - Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable. Must be salary cap or bad locker room presence. Oh, sorry, I forgot. It's Homer.— bobby orr
- Harry ZZZZZZ...we hardly knew you....good luck.— Romus
- everyone chill the eff out. harry z isn't an every day NHL player. we stink and he could barely get ice time. and as far as the goon talk, we don't have 1 true goon on this team right now. zac has made himself into a nice player who agitates, draws penalties, fights when he has to and doesn't take stupid penalties anymore. this guy probably won't even see time on the big club. this was a nothing move. we lost nothing and gained nothing. next.— The Boston Strangler
- I don't think Harry Z got a chance here. I liked his speed and grit. He could fight too. Last year the knock on him was that he didn't play defense. Lavy sent him down and Terry Murray Taught him to be more defensively responsible (In my opinion) He came back up this year and except for some stupid penalties (Like all Flyers take) I thought he played well. I don't like this trade at all. Might as well of kept Sestito. I think Lavy didn't like him.— Johnnyboyl
- Tom Sestito is a similiar player to Jay Rosehill and Holmgren waived Sestito earlier this year. Now Holmgren trades Harry Z for Jay Rosehill. In essence Holmgren gave up Harry Z and Tom Sestito for Jay Rosehill. Holmgren is lacking foresight.— intheknow99999
- The only reason he waived homer was because he didnt have a 2 way contract and flyers didnt have room and they didnt want him sitting so they wanted to send him to the phantoms but was claimed off waivers thats the risks you have to take in this business and harry Z wasnt that great of a player and sestito and rosehill are the same same player — hockey_player_always
