We're getting down to the last lap of the NHL regular season, but have one stop on the way, the NHL Trade Deadline Day.
The Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Chuck Fletcher is looking to continue his reconstruction of the Flyers with making some moves, one Flyer that's seeming to draw a lot of attention is James Van Riemsdyk.
Van Riemsdyk is that power forward all teams would love to have, although his numbers have dropped he could certainly still help a playoff team compete. Well one team that seems to be very interested isn't in the playoffs, but still has a chance to make it and that's the Calgary Flames.
This was discussed during
The Jeff Marek Show, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman noted that the Calgary Flames have acknowledged their search for a scoring forward and he linked them to the Philadelphia Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk. He also mentioned the Maple Leafs might have an interest.
Friedman noted, «James van Riemsdyk, well, he's definitely out there. I think there are some teams looking at him. It wouldn't surprise me if Calgary was looking at him, for example.» He added that the Maple Leafs might have a quiet interest in the player too. Friedman explained:
"I think the Maple Leafs are looking for somebody who can complement their current core very well, and if you look at it and you say, �You know, van Riemsdyk is a fit for that,' then I could see him being on their radar. But I haven't heard his name with Toronto. It doesn't mean anything, they're pretty good at being secretive, too, but I think, if they were in it, they'd have to get moving because I think Philly is getting to the short strokes with van Riemsdyk. I do think Calgary is potentially one of the teams."
