The Flyers are in sell mode, especially on defense, while the Pittsburgh Penguins have three injured defensemen.
Could the bitter rivals look past their on-ice differences and make a trade before the deadline at 3 p.m. Wednesday?
The clock is ticking.
Flyers defensemen Mark Streit, Michael Del Zotto, and Nick Schultz are prospective unrestricted free agents on July 1 who are available. Ditto goalies Michal Neuvirth and Steve Mason, among others.
The Flyers could use forward prospects and/or draft picks.
Pittsburgh acquired defenseman Ron Hainsey from Carolina on Thursday, but the Penguins are still missing injured defensemen Kris Letang, Trevor Daley, and Olli Maatta and would like to add depth as they try to defend their Stanley Cup championship.
