Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Chuck Fletcher is wheeling and dealing today, gang. Not even a full hour after the team officially announced the acquisition of Nate Thompson from the Montreal Canadiens, the squad confirmed that they’ve also obtained another forward in Derek Grant from the Anaheim Ducks for forward Kyle Criscuolo and a 4th round selection in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. Criscuolo spent all of the 2019-20 campaign in the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, netting 24 points in 40 games for the club.
Like Thompson, Grant provides the Flyers with more depth to their forward group.
