An interesting trade between the Philadelphia Flyers and Anaheim Ducks happened during the first period of the Flyers 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday Night
Flyers training camp opened on Thursday with John Tortorella's skating gauntlet, setting the tone for the weeks ahead. Roster spots are available, providing open competition for several players.
Following a forward-thinking, plan-driven trade for Ivan Provorov, the Flyers trade involving Kevin Hayes was much more on par with what a rebuild commands. Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither will the Flyers.
As of Monday morning, both trades reportedly being worked on this weekend have not been formally completed by the Flyers and remain in a holding pattern.
