In a buzzer-beater move, the Philadelphia Flyers traded Erik Johnson back to the Colorado Avalanche, where he spent most of his career. In return, the Flyers received forward Givani Smith from Colorado.

The Press Row Show podcast, Flyers general manager Danny Brière said he slept like a baby Friday night. And why shouldn’t he? The second-year GM made moves before the NHL trade deadline to solidify that the rebuild is happening while starting to put the pieces together.

The loss to Seattle wasn’t for a lack of effort. The Flyers were all over the offensive zone for large stretches of the game, cycling the puck well, creating high-danger chances, and generally doing everything except putting the puck in the net. It was one of those nights where it seemed like no matter what they did, nothing went in.

Trade deadline acquisitions Erik Johnson and Charlie Coyle spoke to Colorado media members prior to tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
