You know.. if the Flyers don't make a move before the deadline, I'm going to regret not opening a Torch and Pitchfork store.

Filppula is one of those guys who I was always waiting to see become really good, and it just never quite happened. I'm confused if this is the actual return for Streit. Another guy who can't score anymore on a team full of guys who can't score anymore?

4th 7th and Filpulla? Tampa taking Striet to take Filpulla off their hands?

I think this hurts the team and complicated the cap but I'm happy he did something.

Even if I think it's stupid

Yes. it might complicate the cap, but is the plan to keep him next year to augment the forward corps?

Can Filppula no longer make it up and down the ice? Because if he can't... then its A LOT like the Kubina move.

He can still play, but he doesn't move the needle much. It's very much a treadmill of mediocrity move.

Flyers retain salary in Streit trade. Tampa Bay is one of 10 teams Streit was willing to go to.

Well he has 34 points putting him 5th on the current squad. Also, we lose Streits salary, and will likely replace d-men with prospects at a low cost so there really isnt a big cap crunch like some believe.

He is a better player than Schenn and cheaper. So that is cool

That move is a head scratcher for me. Filppula is making 5 million through next season according to Cap Friendly.
