The 2018-19 trade deadline has now passed. From the Flyers perspective, the biggest story of the deadline was learning that Wayne Simmonds would no longer be a Flyer. He goes to Nashville and in return the Flyers roster now sports Ryan Hartman and a future third or fourth round pick.
During the day, I was shocked to find out about a story concerning Mikael Granlund. The former Minnesota Wild forward was traded to the Nashville Predators for Kevin Fiala, which normally would not be notable, after all players do get traded, it’s part of the game.
