So far, the Flyers who's names have been floating around and have multiple teams interested have been Nick Seeler, Sean Walker, Rasmus Ristolainen, and alternate captain Scott Laughton. The Flyers have said that they aren't going to give up guys easily, but if a deal is in place that makes sense for the process of the Flyers, they will have to consider pulling the trigger.
