TODAY IN FLYERS HISTORY FROM FlyersAlumni.org: AUGUST 26
1987: The Flyers made one of the most ill-fated trades in franchise history. In the midst of a
second straight contract squabble with
Brad McCrimmon, general manager
Bob Clarke trades a 1989 first-round pick (later traded to Toronto along with an additional first-rounder for goaltender
Ken Wregget) and a 1988 third-round pick (with which the Flyers selected goalie
Dominic Roussel).
2014: The Flyers re-sign restricted free agent defenseman
Brandon Manning to a one-year, two-way contract. Eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2015, Manning subsequently signs a one-year, one-way extension.
