The Flyers traded veteran defenseman Mark Streit to Tampa Bay on Wednesday for veteran forward Valterri Filppula, who had seven goals and 27 assists in 59 games this season.
The Flyers also receive a fourth-round pick and a condiitonal seventh in the 2017 draft.
Filppula, who turns 33 on March 20, has one year left on a contract that has a $5 million cap hit. He has to be protected in the expansion draft because of his no-movement clause.
The 6-foot-, 196-pound Finn can play center or wing.
