Flyers Trade: - Ilya Bryzgalov $5.7M 2020 UFA - Tuomo Ruutu $4.8M 2016 UFA
Wild Trade: - Pierre Marc Bouchard $4.1M 2013 UFA - Matt Hackett $0.9M 2013 RFA ELC - Zack Phillips - Cody Almond - MIN 2nd
With my surplus of young goaltending and cap space, I was a suitable trade parter with the Flyers who are looking to get a bit younger and find seperation from the salary cap ceiling.
Thanks for the smooth negotiations Flyers.

Depends how you want to look at it. Matt Hackett is the goalie of the future in Minnesota. With Backstrom being a UFA in 2013, Hackett could very well take the starting job. He beat out Harding for back-up this year. Philly GM expressed a need to get younger and have some space under the cap ceiling. Who's to say Philly GM won't make another trade for another young goalie? who knows.

It should not be under estimated the risk invovled in taking on a contract the size of Bryzgalov. He has been shaky at best all season. I think I gave Flyers full value for what I received in Bryzgalov. Anything else was overpayment.
