Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Sean Walker recently shared a surprising revelation about his journey to the City of Brotherly Love. In a candid interview, he disclosed that he first learned about his trade to the Flyers in a three-way deal involving Ivan Provorov through his friends on Twitter, even before receiving a call from his team.
Walker explained that a few buddies texted him, informing him that they were seeing reports on Twitter about his trade. Just a minute later, the call came in from Kings GM Rob Blake, officially confirming the move.
