In a somewhat surprising draft night trade, the Flyers sent Brayden Schenn to the St. Louis Blues for Jori Lehtera straight up. Whoops, being told the Flyers also got two first round draft picks. Seen by most Flyers fans as another fringe veteran added by GM Ron Hextall or as a salary dump required to make Schenn contract fit under the Blues salary cap, Lehtera turned out to be both.
By The Numbers
When the season started, Lehtera seemed locked into being the team’s 13th forward. He was only dressed during the season’s first month when injuries forced him into the line up.
