Happy Deadline Day, Flyers fans!
For the first time in (what feels like, at least) a long time, this ought to be a busy day for Chuck Fletcher and the Flyers organization. The word “ought” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence but hey, we’re just a bunch of hopeful idiots over here at Broad Street Hockey. Just to run things down, for posterity, the following Flyers have found themselves to be a part of trade rumors over the last few weeks. Some rumors more likely or reliable than others, but an exhaustive list feels appropriate:
- Claude Giroux
- Justin Braun
- Martin Jones
- Derrick Brassard
- Keith Yandle
- Ivan Provorov
- Travis Sanheim
Obviously the biggest rumors heading into the weekend surrounded Claude Giroux, the Flyers’ most valuable trade piece and arguably the biggest name that will be moved during this year’s deadline frenzy.
