Flyers Acquire Boris Katchouk From Wild for Roman Schmidt

The move signals an AHL-focused depth shuffle before the March 6 trade deadline.

Overview

  • The Flyers said Boris Katchouk will report to the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
  • No draft picks were involved as the teams completed a minor player-for-player swap.
  • Katchouk, 27, has appeared in 179 NHL games with 36 career points and was traded from Tampa Bay to Minnesota in December.
  • Roman Schmidt, 23, joined Philadelphia in December but did not establish himself with Lehigh Valley this season.
