Flyers press release:
The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired 6-0, 204-lb D Radko Gudas from the Tampa Bay Lightning, along with Tampa Bay’s 1st and 3rd-round picks in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, in exchange for D Braydon Coburn, according to general manager Ron Hextall. If Tampa Bay fails to make the playoffs in 2015 and ends up with the first overall selection, Philadelphia will receive the New York Rangers’ 2015 first round pick in the draft (previously acquired by Tampa) in lieu of Tampa’s own first round selection.
Huge haul. Maybe Hextall’s best move as Flyers GM. A young defenseman and a first round draft pick (and a third)? Can’t complain about that.
With Braydon’s departure, presumably, comes the departure of Nadine Coburn:
We won’t miss Braydon. But we’ll miss you, Nadine.
…
UPDATE: How did Braydon find out?
As always, better than reading it on Crossing Broad.
