Confirmed with Link: Trade: Nick Cousins and Merrick Madsen from Flyers for 2018 5th and Brendan Warren

Do they try to sign Madsen? Or give it the year and see how Hill and Miska do?

Don't know anything about Madsen's intentions, but it's common for the Ivy League guys to finish out their senior year once they've come that far.

Might be necessary to sign him next spring and burn a year on the ELC, but I don't see that as being a problem.
