Flyers Somehow Find Someone To Take Erik Gustafsson
I’m not messing with you. Chuck Fletcher SOMEHOW convinced a team (The Montreal Canadians) to take Erik Gustafsson. The Flyers get a 7th round pick in return. They will have to pay 50% of his salary.
Gustafsson was signed as a Matt Niskanen replacement. But he, like just about every Flyers D-Man this season, was a disaster. He was signed to a 1 year, $3 million dollar deal and had an illustrious career! 24 games, 10 points. Stats wise that isn’t bad but unfortunately he plays defense….and didn’t play it well.
this is the first TRADE the Flyers have made, after resigning Scott Laughton
