Sunday’s Dump & Chase: Aftermath

Predators trade Ryan Ellis to Flyers, get Cody Glass and Phil Myers | On the Forecheck
I do not love this trade. I feel like there's a possibility that it's to clear cap space for Shea Weber, but there's also a possibility it's to clear cap space for someone like Gabe Landeskog, whom I'm not sure is sufficient difference-maker here, or simply to avoid having to go 4/4 or expose a core defender in the expansion draft--which could have been avoided by simply not playing Dante Fabbro in the playoffs in 2019. Just frustrating all around.

The Ryan Ellis trade is a great piece of business for the Flyers | Broad Street Hockey
At least our colleagues at Broad Street Hockey agree Phil Meyers has top-four potential, though at 24.
