Another trade reportedly coming to Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Flyers may already be focused on another trade after shipping orward Cutter Gauthier to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a second-round selection in the 2025 NHL draft on Monday.

According to Darren Dreger, while the defensemen market has been quiet lately, there is a feeling that the Flyers could garner interest from other teams and pull the trigger on a trade with Philadelphia. This is what Dreger reported on last night’s Insider Trading on TSN when it comes to the teams looking for defensemen at this point in the season:

“In Calgary, a source there says that really not much has changed with Chris Tanev or Noah Hanifin , dating back to September. But you see a trade like [Jamie] Drysdale to the Philadelphia Flyers and obviously the radar goes up for a lot of clubs. The Philadelphia Flyers are hoping to get more interest in their players Nick Seeler and Sean Walker , and they’re still willing to retain as much as 50 per cent salary.”

Walker has been mentioned more than once in the rumour mill in 2023-24 due to his impressive performance and the fact that he is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The Flyers could get a good return for him as he could become a prime target for teams seeking a rental and help on the back end. The 29-year-old has posted four goals, 13 points, and a plus-5 rating in 40 games this season and has been a great asset on the top 4 in Philadelphia. There are no reports that Walker is close to an extension with the Flyers and is likely to be a trade piece ahead of the March 8 deadline.

There is Seeler as well, who has seven assists and a plus-13 rating in 40 contests and has drawn the interest of some rivals out there. He could get the Flyers a great return in a deal, especially with his easily affordable $775,000 cap hit.

The Flyers could therefore be ready to make another move shortly after Monday’s blockbuster.
