Breaking News: Three way trade between Flyers, Kings, Blue Jackets

Moments ago, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman released a bombshell trade in the midst of the Stanley Cup Final. Friedman reports a three way trade between the Flyers, Kings, and Blue Jackets involving some formerly promising players in Ivan Provorov and Cal Petersen.
