The Philadelphia Flyers are struggling this season with a 5-8-1 record, placing them at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division as they continue their rebuilding phase.

As the trade deadline approaches, players like Nicolas Deslauriers, Scott Laughton, and Rasmus Ristolainen are expected to attract interest from contenders. Deslauriers offers toughness, Laughton is a versatile two-way forward, and Ristolainen's size and skill as a defenseman make him a valuable asset.
