Simon Gagne Traded to Tampa
By Kyle Scott
Published:
The Flyers have traded Simon Gagne to the Tampa Bay Lightning for reportedly Matt Walker and a 4th round pick.
The Flyers were about $2.5 million over the cap and Simon Gagne was owed $5.25 million this year. Walker only had five points in 66 games this year and leaves the Flyers with a surplus of defensemen, but he is only owed $1.7 million each of the next three seasons.
Sad to see him go.
