David Pagnotta discusses the Philadelphia Flyers' potential trade options as they continue their rebuild. Coach John Tortorella's decision to sit Matvei Michkov stirred reactions, but the team managed to secure a shootout win. With veteran players like Scott Laughton, Nic Deslaurier, and Rasmus Ristolainen having term left on their contracts, they could be attractive targets for other teams as the trade deadline approaches.
Pagnotta notes that Laughton and Ristolainen have been in trade discussions for a while, and their lack of no-trade protection makes them easier to move. The Flyers, having overachieved last season, are now more grounded and focused on their future, with Michkov seen as a key prospect.
