The Washington Capitals final trade of the day came from acquiring forward Michael Raffl from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a fifth round pick that was previously acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights. Philadelphia will retain 25 percent of Raffl’s salary.
The 32 year old is a native of Villach, Austria. He recorded eight points with three goals and five assists in 34 games with the Flyers this season. The six foot, 200 pound left wing led Philadelphia forwards with 23 blocked shots and was tied for fifth on the team with 50 hits.
