Before we get started, the trade machine series represents hypotheticals. In no way have there been any known reports of the Flyers inquiring about this trade. However, it could be a match made in heaven for the Flyers.
The Flyers’ defense has been abysmal lately. In Saturday night’s loss to the Bruins, the orange and black just couldn’t stop the Bruins’ forecheck. In fact, even in their wins this season, they have looked sloppy. Just using the eye test, they haven’t been good in transition or finding their man in the defensive zone. Just simply look at the Bruins’ game Saturday night- the Flyers gave Marchand and Bergeron way too much time and space in the third period when they scored their goals.
