The Philadelphia Flyers were competitive until the very end, losing a playoff spot in heartbreaking fashion. Among other things, this can be boiled down to the team's lack of star talent, excepting the recently acquired 22-year-old defenseman Jamie Drysdale. You know the story by now: former prospect Cutter Gauthier didn't want to play in Philadelphia, so the two high-end talents were swapped in a trade. Three months after the trade, it's impossible to decide whether the Flyers or Anaheim Ducks won the blockbuster move.
