The Flyers are going to have a few departures during trade deadline, even though Claude Giroux monopolizes all the attention, Justin Braun will likely be traded too.
The #61 is having a good season and is on his way to have his best one so far in Philadelphia. Yesterday, he managed to score the opening goal against the Golden Knights from long range, that was crucial in the 2-1 win.
It's been announced earlier this week that the Panthers are interested in Claude Giroux but it's possible that the Florida team also have their eyes on Justin Braun. They are in need of defensive depth, even more so now that they've place their own defenseman Olli Juolevi on waivers.

But who would the Panthers trade in exchange for Justin Braun? We could expect a 2nd round pick and another lower pick or prospect to come to Philadelphia in this trade.
Four forwards are to keep in mind regarding the Braun trade: Logan Hutsko, Serron Noel, Cole Schwindt and Owen Tippett.
All are between 20 and 23 and have shown promising performances in the AHL. The best choice would be Owen Tippett but it's unlikely that the Panthers will trade him for Braun, even though he's available.
