It was beginning to look like the Philadelphia Flyers weren’t going to made a trade on this year’s deadline day. However, in the minutes leading up to the 3 P.M. deadline, the Flyers sent defenseman Erik Gustafsson to the Montreal Canadiens for a 2022 7th round draft pick.
For a 7th RD pick in '22. And Flyers retain 50 percent salary/AAV
So Gustafsson to Montreal for a 7th. https://t.co/KMlXjCzM8D— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) April 12, 2021Gustafsson, who signed a one-year deal worth $3,000,000 in the off-season had fallen out of favor with the Flyers, sitting out as a healthy scratch in eight of the team’s previous nine games.
