Chris Pronger's contract, gone. Nicklas Grossmann, gone. They've both been traded to the Arizona Coyotes.
People have been making jokes all week about how the Philadelphia Flyers could just go and dump salary on the Arizona Coyotes, since that team needs to reach the salary cap floor in a desperate way.
Nobody really expected it to actually happen. BUT OH MY GOD, RON HEXTALL IS A MAGICIAN.
The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired 5-11, 202 lb C Sam Gagner and a conditional 2016 or 2017 draft pick from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for D Nicklas Grossmann and the contract of D Chris Pronger, according to general manager Ron Hextall.
