Philadelphia Flyers and St. Louis Blues finally complete their long awaited trade
The Philadelphia Flyers and St. Louis Blues have been locked in discussions since Saturday trying to complete a rumored trade. After Torey Krug refused to waive his no trade the two teams were forced to rework the entire trade.
Today, Kevin Weekes broke the news that the two teams were finally able to complete the deal.
**Breaking News** 🚨 📰
I'm told the @NHLFlyers are trading F Kevin Hayes to the @StLouisBlues for the Blues 2024 6th Rd Draft Pick, there could be another component to the deal.

This reported blockbuster deal that would have sent multiple pieces back and forth is now simply a cap dump for the Philadelphia Flyers. With names like Travis Sanheim, Torey Krug and others previously involved this deal feels disappointing.
Update:
The Flyers are retaining 50% of Hayes deal simply to clear his cap hit.
