The Philadelphia Flyers pulled off a massive cap dump trade, sending beleaguered blueliner Ryan Ellis to the San Jose Sharks on Sunday.
The moves came on the eve of the NHL roster deadline ahead of Opening Night. Ellis has not played since the 2021-22 season. Ellis signed an eight-year, $50 million contract with the Nashville Predators in 2018. However, he ran into injury issues in Nashville. The Predators moved Ellis in 2021 to the Flyers in another cap dump move.
Ellis played all of four games for the Flyers, notching a goal and four assists.
