Flyers trade prospect Ethan Samson to Lightning
Photo credit: Just Sports / Lehigh Valley PhantomsThe Philadelphia Flyers capped off their Monday night by making a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning and it featured two young AHL defensemen moving around the Eastern Conference.
Announced by the team, the Flyers have traded 22-year-old defenseman Ethan Samson to the Lightning for also 22-year-old defenseman Roman Schmidt. Both defensemen are right handed but bring a whole lot of different energy to the ice.
TRADE ALERT: We have acquired defenseman Roman Schmidt from Tampa Bay in exchange for defenseman Ethan Samson. Schmidt has been assigned to the @LVPhantoms (AHL). https://t.co/lezlUVnYv8
