The Philadelphia Flyers are going to have a busy couple of weeks before the March 21 trade deadline and one key player that might be on the move (probably on the move) is captain Claude Giroux. Certainly the biggest trade piece and potentially the most dynamic rental available, Giroux has full control over where he goes with his No-Move Clause in-hand, but one team that the Flyers have been scouting a little bit more as a potential destination is the Atlantic-leading Florida Panthers.
Reported by Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek on Saturday, Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher, special assistant Danny Briere, and senior advisors Bill Barber and Dean Lombardi; were all in attendance for the game between the Flyers’ Lehigh Valley Phantoms and the Panthers’ AHL affiliate, Charlotte Checkers.
