Trade Alert: Former top prospect shipped to Eastern Conference

According to a report from TSN’s Frank Seravalli the Philadelphia Flyers have acquired goaltender Dustin Tokarski from the Anaheim Ducks for future considerations.

Tokarski has only managed a single game with the Ducks since joining the franchise in 2015. Before that he played parts of five seasons for the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning.  

Originally drafted by the Lightning in the 5th round (122nd overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, Tokarski was at one point a top prospect in the NHL. His heroics with Team Canada in the 2009 World Junior Championships led the nation to a gold medal championship.
