NHL Trade Rumors: Flyers Generating Lots of Interest Around NHL

Despite starting the season with an eight-game losing streak (0-5-3), the Philadelphia Flyers are drawing significant trade interest from opposing NHL general managers. TSN insider Pierre LeBrun reported that general manager Danny Briere is receiving numerous calls, though rival teams are primarily attempting to buy low on struggling players. LeBrun noted that there is no quick blockbuster trade available to fix Philadelphia's current slide.

Flyers management reportedly has no plans to replace head coach Rick Tocchet, believing the roster must resolve its issues internally. While Philadelphia has been linked to Detroit's Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson, Larkin reportedly opposes a move to Philadelphia, and the Red Wings intend to re-sign Edvinsson. Jonathan Bailey notes that players such as Rasmus Ristolainen and Owen Tippett could still attract interest from contending teams.
