Sam just said the pick is going to TB???

 

[Laveuglette]

We have to pay his huge contract one more year, but that's a solid improvement.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced that they have acquired forward Valtteri Filppula, Tampa Bay's 4th round selection in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and a conditional 7th round selection in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft from Tampa Bay in exchange for defenseman, Mark Streit.

Interesting.

I actually like this move.

Never mind, what an idiot.

 

[hatcher]

2nd line center baby. Voracek rolls now.

 

[deadhead]

That makes sense, contracts balance this year, Flyers take his last season at an inflated cost to get a better pick. Gives Flyers a veteran center for one season, but also means they're pretty much shut out of free agency.

 

[tymed]

Nice. Hopefully they use him at C. Been waiting long time for Couts to be used properly.

For the numbers guys, where does this put us capwise? Is someone else having to get moved, or was streit enough?

 

[Fragmuffin]

Hexy done did GOOD

 

[Curufinwe]

I've been interested in Filppula for most of this season since our 6th and 7th forwards for the ED aren't exactly world beaters.

 

[bennysflyers16]

He need to be protected ?

 

[Rocket of Russia]

Wow, very nice move.
