The Philadelphia Flyers are going to acquire a defenseman before the April 12 trade deadline; it’s the worst kept secret in the NHL right now.
With a blue line that has been unable to recover the departure of Matt Niskanen before the season and some ineptitude coming from some new guys and returning veterans, the Flyers have been scouring the market for anyone that can fit into their top-four and provide some stability.
According to The Athletic’s Pierre Lebrun, that help might come in the form of Arizona Coyotes blueliner Alex Goligoski.
