Unfortunately for Lindblom hockey is still a business. Despite being adored by the fanbase, it's clear that the Flyers are positioning themselves to make a major move in free agency. Today the Flyers announced they had placed Lindblom on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract.
Because of his age and games played Lindblom will qualify for the 1/3 buyout for the Flyers. This will give the Flyers a $333,333 cap credit this season and a $666,667 penalty next season.
