General Manager Chuck Fletcher continued to make aggressive moves on Friday morning as he obtained the services of defenseman Matt Niskanen from the Washington Capitals for Radko Gudas. There’s a decent amount of risk involved in this deal as Niskanen is coming off a down season with the Caps, especially when considering that Gudas was arguably the most consistent Philadelphia Flyers blue-liner during the 2018-19 campaign. Niskanen is also the older of the two but does bring a different amount of skills to the city of Brotherly Love, though, which is likely why Fletcher brought him to the team.
