Capitals acquire Michael Raffl from Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers were quiet leading up to the deadline, but just minutes before—and a little bit after the 3:00 p.m. cutoff—they made a couple moves to shuffle around their current roster.

After signing Scott Laughton to a five-year extension and sending Erik Gustafsson to the Montreal Canadiens, they have traded away forward Michael Raffl to the Washington Capitals.

The return is reportedly a fifth-round pick.

Raffl, 32, is in the final year of his two-year contract with a cap hit of $1.
