Flyers land former Stanley Cup champion in trade with Sabres

After shipping Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Flyers will look to replace him with Erik Johnson after acquiring the veteran from the Buffalo Sabres, per The Athletic’s Chris Johnston.

In return, the Flyers are sending a 2024 fourth-round selection to Western New York.

It was a bit of a failed experiment for EJ in Buffalo; he signed in the offseason after winning a Stanley Cup with the Avs in 2022.

More to come.
