REPORT: The Flyers are targeting two forwards

Of course, we all know the interest they have in Johnny Gaudreau. The only problem is that they are extremely reluctant to give a first round pick (teams are asking for the team's first round pick in 2023) in order to get rid of James Van Riemsdyk.

If they don't move him it's going to be extremely difficult to sign Gaudreau. The Flyers are the front-runners, with the New Jersey Devils, to land the services of Gaudreau.

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Seattle Kraken, the Arizona Coyotes and the Buffalo Sabres are the teams linked to the forward.

Friedman added that the Flyers were interested in another forward: Dylan Strome. He wasn't qualified by the Blackhawks so he will be free to sign with any team. Last season, the 25-year-old center registered 48 points in 69 games.
