Flyers send Legein to the Kings

The Philadelphia Flyers have sent forward Stefan Legein and a 2012 6th round pick to the Los Angeles Kings for future considerations.

The trade clears a contract, which helps solve the Flyers 50 player contract issue. If Sean Couturier plays 11 NHL games, he would become the teams 50 player under contract. If he’s sent back to junior beforehand, he wouldn’t count towards the 50 despite having signed an entry-level deal.
