The Flyers have traded goaltender Samuel Ersson and defenseman Emil Andrae (along with a 2026 third-round pick) to the Toronto Maple Leafs, in exchange for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit.
Trade Details
- Flyers receive: Goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit.
- Maple Leafs receive: Goaltender Samuel Ersson, defenseman Emil Andrae, and Philadelphia’s 2026 third-round draft pick.
This is a backup goaltending-focused move for the Flyers. Ersson had been inconsistent (e.g., 14-11-5 with a .870 SV% in 33 games last season), while Woll brings more size/experience as a potential upgrade behind the Flyers’ starter. Benoit adds physicality on the blue line. For Toronto, it frees up cap space and adds younger talent in Andrae (a puck-moving defenseman) plus draft capital.
