The Philadelphia Flyers sit awfully close to the Eastern Conference basement, and they could look to move some players before the trade deadline.

If things continue to go south for the Philadelphia Flyers, they have some trade candidates to move out

Daily Faceoff: Anthony Di Marco, when asked which Philadelphia Flyers could be on the move before the March 1st NHL Trade Deadline.

Yaremchuk: “Who else are you looking at as pieces that this front office might try sell off in the next, you know, call it four or five months leading into the deadline?

Di Marco: “Well, it feels like he’s been on the trade block for three years, but Rasmus Ristolainen. I would be utterly shocked if he’s a Flyer beyond the trade deadline. Like, I mean, I think even if it’s for a second-round pick, which they could have gotten last year.

I look at a guy like Owen Tippett. I know a lot of Edmonton faithful have had their eyes on him for a while.

The Flyers Were Genuinely Shocked by the Matvei Michkov Report. Was there an Agenda?

And then you look at a Travis Konecny, who I’ve reported a few times, the Flyers would be open to approaching him to waive his no-movement clause. I think in an ideal world you would go after Travis Konecny, and I know a lot of fans hate him right now in Philadelphia, and that’s all well and good, but I’ve spoken to several teams going back to last winter that would have a ton of time for Travis Konecny.

Yes, he’s in year two of an eight-year contract at $8.75 (million). But again, with the rising salary cap, you put Travis Konecny on a second line of a Stanley Cup team. Like, let’s say the Minnesota Wild, I think that he could do a lot of damage there. The problem there is once again, is he going to waive his no-movement clause?

So I mean, I think they have a lot of pieces to overturn this. There’s a chance that the Flyers have two picks inside the top 10 this upcoming draft. So I think that you have to prepare yourselves for that possibility and just stockpile assets in the meantime.

And I really do think that the Flyers will take a hard look at taking axes to that leaders doesn’t turn around. And for me, I know the trade protection is a big block in the road, but I think Travis Konecny would be a prime candidate to really shake things up.
