[Trade] Flyers trade Erik Gustafsson (50% retained) to Habs for a 2022 7th

[sureLoss]

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Erik Gustafsson to MON

Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun
For a 7th RD pick in '22. And Flyers retain 50 percent salary/AAV
So Gustafsson to Montreal for a 7th.

He hasn’t really worked out in Philly this season

Erik Gustafsson has been a healthy scratch in almost every game in the last month.
I don't think it'll be a 3rd.

Philly was stupid to sign him in the first place. They basically bet against their own player (Ghost) to sign a worse version of him.

But, at least they got something for him.

Gustafsson was a really smart player on the PP when he was here. My guess is that the Flyers think of playing on the PP as a reward for good 5-on-5 play, rather than a destination for a specialist player? (considering how they used Gustafsson and Gostisbehere)

Ya a 7th and dead cap

I don't see how taking on a defensive liability, like Gus, will help the Habs.
