We’ve got some news breaking just before Saturday afternoon’s game against the Anaheim Ducks, as Chuck Fletcher has made his third trade as general manager of the Flyers. This one involves a couple of parts both coming and going, as the Flyers have sent Dale Weise and Christian Folin to the Montreal Canadiens:
TRADE ALERT: The #Flyers have acquired defenseman David Schlemko and forward Byron Froese from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Dale Weise and defenseman Christian Folin. https://t.co/cQR1mEL1wR

The Flyers are reportedly retaining $150,000 of Folin’s $800,000 contract, meaning they are now essentially paying $800,000 against the cap for Byron Froese (who was making $650,000).
