Three players the Flyers should trade at the deadline but won’t

The Philadelphia Flyers are one of the few basement-dwelling teams stuck in neutral as fire sales continue around them. There has been a whirlwind of activity around the NHL with Chuck Fletcher only getting in on the action to trade failed prospect Isaac Ratcliffe for future considerations.

On Tuesday, Fletcher addressed the media and basically said that the Flyers are most likely to trade their expiring contracts — James van Riemsdyk, Justin Braun, and Patrick Brown — while they’ll listen on others.

Unfortunately, that trio of players is unlikely to bring back much more than a few mid-round picks.
