Despite narrowly missing out on the playoffs, the Philadelphia Flyers are still considered a rebuilding team. However, there's speculation circulating the possibility of them making significant hockey trades.
The Flyers are currently maneuvering with just over $2.18 million in available salary cap space for the next season. Considering placing defenseman Ryan Ellis on long-term injured reserve could potentially add another $6.25 million in cap room. It's increasingly probable that veterans like Marc Staal and Erik Johnson won't be returning to the club, signaling a shift towards a younger defensive group.
Despite rumors swirling around the trade deadline, no deals materialized in March. However, names like Scott Laughton, Morgan Frost, and Joel Farabee were prominently mentioned in speculation. General Manager Briere opted not to take action at the time, but there's a possibility that the organization will revisit potential trades involving these three players in the upcoming offseason. This could also help free up additional cap space to pursue defensive targets.
