It was rumbling around the arena and on social media. The Flyers had to make a tough decision and decided to buyout the remainder of beloved and now former Flyer, Oskar Lindblom. Just a few weeks ago, some may have not been able to believe this was happening. Essentially, Lindblom was struggling and needed a fresh start. Wherever it the landing spot was going to be.
Once the buyout happened, it wasn't long before Oskar was snatched up by a Western Conference team- the San Jose Sharks. Oskar signed a two-year $5 million dollar deal ($2.5 million AAV) the day free agency opened. He also will be playing with the number 23.
