One day removed from the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft, Chuck Fletcher made another trade, this time involving Shayne Gostisbehere.
No, that’s not right. A trade implies that the Philadelphia Flyers received something tangible in return.
Fletcher made a deal. He sent Shayne Gostisbehere to the Arizona Coyotes along with a 2022 second and seventh-round pick. The Coyotes, who are without a 2021 first-round pick, are bundling as many as they can in 2022. Arizona likely is planning to parlay assets to trade up in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, forging a first-round pick.
