[Gregor Samsa]

Ok. What should I think? My initial hunch is it’s a nothing for nothing trade

 

[BillDineen]

Ok

 

[GKJ]

Swap of AHL puck moving D. Maybe they wanted another guy in case Andrae stays on the team. Attard was obviously done here.

 

[Embiid]

Flyers operating on the margins as usual....whoopdeedoo

 

[Danko]

Assuming it's pretty much, they know he's done here and want to give someone else a look. Similar Age, Righty vs Lefty

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Attard had 20 goal NHL defenseman potential though. Or so I believe I heard…

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Oh man. That is a name from the past. There was a large contingent of draft people that could not believe Gleason went Undrafted in….2017? 2016? Something like that.

 

[Deadpool8812]

A nothing trade

 

[scumpup]

HOLY SHIT LEGENDARY MOVE! THE FRANCHISE HAS BEEN SAVED PRAISE DANNY B!!!!!

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Honestly didn’t even know Gleason was still playing.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

The blockbuster trade ive been waiting for

 

[Magua]

Just here to be told that Attard sucks by the person who pencilled him into every future lineup and said he’s better than Ristolainen as recently as last year.

 

[orangey]

I guess this is better than losing him on waivers? That's all I got.

 

[trostol]

i'm here to see how this gets spun

 

[Adam Warlock]

Awful trade.

 

[CerpinTaxt]

Alright who had meaningless trade in the beginning of the season on their bingo card?

 

[Striiker]

Just here to be told that Attard sucks by the person who pencilled him into every future lineup and said he’s better than Ristolainen as recently as last year.

Before or after Risto was fixed?

 

[deadhead]

Got better puck moving AHL plus LHD for bigger, dumber better shooting AHL plus RHD.

This was probably a favor for Attard since they decided he had no future here.
And they had too many RHDs in LHV so one was playing out of position every night.
Hopefully, Gleason will be better than Mete was last year.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

I prob overrated Attard but still wish we saw him a little more in the NHL.

best of luck

 

[deadhead]

As we saw with Hagg, big D-men who don't skate well and lack defensive instincts have a tough go in the NHL.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh man. That is a name from the past. There was a large contingent of draft people that could not believe Gleason went Undrafted in….2017? 2016? Something like that.

There. That's where I'm trying to place this name from.

 

[BiggE]

How exciting.

Perhaps the biggest trade in Flyers history since the 92 Lindros deal.

 

[BiggE]

I’d be more excited if they had obtained Jackie Gleason

 

[BernieParent]

Alright who had meaningless trade in the beginning of the season on their bingo card?

Everyone. It is the Free space on our cards.
