Two of Flyers Top Trade Chips want to Stay in Philly?

Instead, the Flyers find themselves in second place in a ridiculously tight race in the Metro Division. Only four points behind the once unstoppable, now struggling, New York Rangers. They have the second most points in the league since Nov 10th with 43. If you have been down Broad Street recently, you will see the Wells Fargo Center is anything but empty, it's rocking on a nightly basis in support of their team.

This brings us to the selling of assets. Brière must make some sensitive decisions; does he try to improve this team even more and go for the playoff spot and try to make a run? This team has bought into Tort's system, ands have not showed signs of slowing down. Or does he stick to his rebuilding plans and start to trade away some players, taking advantage of their value now and continue to build for the future. There is no definitive right answer, but according to Kevin Kurz of The Athletic, the plan of keeping the current team intact would make some of the talked about trade chips very happy.

Nick Seeler and Sean Walker are names that have been thrown out there a lot in trade talks. Seeler being on his last year of a two-year contract making the league minimum but playing 17 minutes a night while being a shot blocking machine. Walker has a manageable $2.65M cap hit while playing over 20 minutes a night and logging 15 points in 44 games for the Flyers this season. Both players will be in for serious raises on the open market next summer if this play continues. Seeler and Walker have both expressed interest in staying with the Flyers past this season. Staying with the Flyers past the deadline would make the players happy and help keep the Flyers in contention for this season.
