7) Today in Flyers History: On June 9, 1982, the Flyers traded two-time All-Star goaltender Pete Peeters to the Boston Bruins in a straight-up trade for young defenseman Brad McCrimmon. Peeters won the Vezina Trophy his first season in Boston but his career tailed off thereafter. With Pelle Lindbergh waiting in the wings, the Flyers were soon able to sustain the loss of Peeters. While McCrimmon got off to an uninspiring start in Philly, he ultimately blossomed into one of the top defensemen in franchise history. The tandem of McCrimmon with Mark Howe, first formed in 1984-85, was peerless in team annals.
