Up to this point, there were rumblings that the Flyers were among the teams interested in Alex DeBrincat. However, they weren't considered as favorites to land the winger.
But things seem to have changed, as the Flyers are now a very real possibility to complete a trade including Alex DeBrincat with the Blackhawks. Here's what Mark Lazerus, from The Athletic, wrote about a possible deal between the two teams...
"It's believed that Philadelphia is in the mix, with the No. 5 pick in the draft the centerpiece of any potential package. The Flyers � who are always in win-now mode � also have Florida's 2024 first-round pick (top-10 protected; it would become a 2025 first-rounder if it falls in the top 10 in 2024) from the Claude Giroux trade. Would those two picks, plus a good-but-not-great prospect be enough? Davidson is hoping that as draft day approaches, the pressure will ratchet up and he can get more for DeBrincat, a bona fide star who is among the league's best goal scorers and has become a very good two-way player who even kills penalties. But if no one else steps up to the plate with a better offer, the Flyers are a very real possibility," wrote Lazerus.
