NHL Trade: Detroit Red Wings Trade Petr Mrazek To The Philadelphia Flyers
The Detroit Red Wings have traded Petr Mrazek to the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Detroit Red Wings have traded goaltender Petr Mrazek to the Philadelphia Flyers for a conditional 2018 4th round pick and a conditional 2019 3rd round pick.

Bob McKenzie: “DET guaranteed no less than a 4th round for Mrazek. If PHI makes playoffs and Mrazek wins 5 games for PHI in reg season, 4th becomes a 3rd. If PHI advances to CF, and Mrazek wins six playoff games, the 3rd becomes a 2nd. If PHI re-signs him next season, DET gets PHI 3rd in 19.”

Bob McKenzie: “So the minimum DET gets for Mrazek is a fourth-round pick, that could become a third- or a second-round pick, dependent on how Mrazek/Flyers perform. The additional pick, a third-rounder, is conditional only on Mrazek re-signing in PHI.”

The 26-year old Mrazek was drafted 141st overall in the 5th round of the 2010 draft by the Red Wings. He’s a pending RFA and makes $4 million this season.

Craig Custance: The Red Wings are retaining half of Mrazek’s salary.

Thoughts from the media …

Chris Johnston: “Petr Mrazek was left exposed in the Vegas expansion draft and has been the subject of trade talks throughout the season. The finally found the right fit with injuries.”

Chris Johnston: “Petr Mrazek is considered an RFA this summer, but the all-knowing points out that he’ll require a qualifying offer at his current salary: $4.15M. Otherwise, Mrazek hits the open market July 1.”

Nick Cotsonika: “Mrazek was exposed in expansion draft. Vegas could have taken him or flipped him to another team — and passed. That was a clue about how the NHL valued him.”

David Pagnotta: “Flyers kept on tabs on Mrazek for a while, then obviously needed to make a move now. Solid add for them for short term”

Cap Friendly: “ now have 7 picks in the first 4 rounds and a total of 9 picks in the 2018 NHL entry draft. Additionally, currently hold 9 picks in the 2019 NHL draft.”

Michael Traikos: “Mrazek (.910 sv%) gives the about the same type of goaltending that they were receiving from Elliott (.908 sv%). Still, it’s too funny that Philly is once again in this position.”

Manny Elk: “I’m not saying Mrazek is a great goalie but he has a better GSAA since 2015 than Rinne, Allen, Lehner, Varlamov and Dubnyk.”
