If you’re a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, you’re most likely sky high right about now. This off-season needed to bring in an overhaul of change, and yesterday was just the start of it with the Flyers trading for former Nashville Predators stand out defenseman Ryan Ellis in what would be eventually a three team trade.
Make no bones about it, this is the single biggest trade that the Flyers have pulled off in a decade, bringing in a bonafide number one defenseman that the team has not had since Kimmo Timonen and Chris Pronger.
