Flyers fans are patiently waiting for some changes in the locker room.
It has not been a good season for the team, and Chuck Fletcher will not have other choices than making changes in the next weeks/months.
We talked a lot about a possible Claude Giroux trade, but one player that could also be on the move is defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen. He is in the final year of his current deal, and he could fetch a big return for the Flyers.

As a reminder, Ristolainen was acquired this summer by Philadelphia for Robert Hagg, the 14th pick in the 2021 draft, and a second round pick in 2023.
If Ristolainen is on the trade block, he would directly be one of the best options for contending teams leading to the trade deadline. If we make a comparison, the Flyers could acquire the same assets (a 1st and a 3rd round pick) as the Columbus Blue Jackets last year when they traded David Savard to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Well, the trade deadline is going to be fun, this year!
