The Philadelphia Flyers are just several days away from taking the first step of the 2025-26 NHL season with rookie camp starting next week, but they decided to make a quick trade and shuffle up some organization depth before doing that.
Announced by the team Thursday afternoon, the Flyers have acquired center Tucker Robertson from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for forward J.R. Avon.

Robertson was a fourth-round draft pick of the Kraken all the way back in the 202 NHL Draft and is now a 22-year-old center who hasn’t yet found any relatively consistent level of success in pro hockey.
