That's a weird one. I thought TB would just be selling.

I thought TB needed salary cap to sign some of their young core players.

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
now
Filppula heading back to PHI.

This creates cap space to sign Drouin, Johnson, Palat, etc...

Cap clearing move. Philly needs a center. Makes sense... but does Tampa now try to move Streit?

Hockey trade... didn't expect that.

Makes sense though as Philly wouldn't be selling. They are in the same position as us.

Well, 4 points out, but close.

Flyers had a crazy abundance of #4 type dmen. Nice to see them getting some return after a falling out of the race

If Streit for Filppula is accurate that is an incredible trade for Philly.

I could see them moving Streit for a pick now. If so good move by Yzerman.

Both teams benefited from this. Tampa needed the space badly to resign their key players and Philly gets a quality centre.

Smart move by Tampa...

Sheds 5M in cap space next year and clears out a NMC out for expansion.
