Philadelphia Flyers News

The Flyers have acquired Grebenkin and a conditional 2027 1st round pick from the Maple Leafs for Scott Laughton, a 2025 4th round pick and a 2027 6th round pick.

Grebenkin was a fifth-round pick, 135th overall, of the Maple Leafs in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old forward made his NHL debut this season, scoring zero points in seven games, but has been much more productive at the AHL level, scoring 21 points (9G / 12A) in 39 games with the Toronto Marlies.

The 25-year-old Ersson has a 2.91 GAA and .890 SV% in 35 appearances this season (18-10-4). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +139 home underdogs against a Jets team they defeated 2-1 less than a week ago.
