Flyers - Blues Trade

[papps]

Flyers get
G Ben Bishop, $4.9m (2019-2020)

Blues get
C Aleksander Barkov, $4.2m (2020-2021)
C Tyson Jost, $m (P-n/a)

Flyers do this to get another stud goalie to pair with Holtby.  Bishop and Barkov are both hurt right now but they should be back at roughly the same time.  I had a big need at G since Halak was demoted.  Losing young guys like Barkov and Jost hurts but the Blues were not offering any discounts and thats the price I had to pay.  Bishop has a good contract and the Flyers are very happy to acquire him.

Thanks Shooter for the deal!

Blues Confirm. I had a surplus of goalies and with Saros starting to get some time in the NHL and looking good I felt more comfortable moving one. Barkov is a good young center who was recently extended on a prospect contract. I also think Jost is a good prospect addition to my team.

Place Barkov on IR
Place Jost in my Minors
