PREDS AND FLYERS MAKE SMALL TRADE
The Nashville Predators acquired forward Isaac Ratcliffe from the Philadelphia Flyers for future considerations.
What does it give the Nashville Predators
A second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, Ratcliffe never established himself in the Flyers organization. The Predators are taking a chance on him reaching his potential in a spot with more opportunity. Depending on other transactions, Ratcliffe could play NHL games for them this season.
What does it give the Philadelphia Flyers
This trade for the Flyers was all about giving a player who had fallen out of their future plans an opportunity elsewhere. It also frees up a contract slot for Philadelphia as the trade deadline nears. The Flyers are likely not done dealing; winger James van Riemsdyk is probably the next player to leave Philly.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact with this trade.
