Flyers Acquire Tucker Robertson From Kraken for J.R. Avon in One-for-One Prospect Swap

Two 22-year-old AHL centers switch systems for fresh evaluations before training camps.

Overview

  • Philadelphia announced the trade on Sept. 4, sending Jon-Randall Avon to Seattle for Tucker Robertson.
  • The players are former Peterborough Petes teammates who helped win the 2022–23 OHL title and reach the Memorial Cup semifinals.
  • Neither forward has made an NHL appearance, with both used primarily in bottom-six roles at the AHL level.
  • Robertson, a 2022 fourth-round pick, has 10 goals and 19 points in 77 AHL games, while Avon has 16 goals and 35 points in 125 AHL games.
  • Both are in the final year of entry-level contracts and are set for restricted free agency next summer, giving each club a low-risk look at comparable depth options.
