If the price some down on Sean Walker, the Boston Bruins could be interested
David Pagnotta: The Philadelphia Flyers haven’t started formal contract talks with defenseman Sean Walker. If they don’t sign him to an extension by the trade deadline, and if the asking price comes down a bit, would expect that the Boston Bruins to have some talks with the Flyers.
The Flyers are still trying to sign defenseman Nick Seeler to an extension.
The Philadelphia Flyers have the space to be third-party brokers
Anthony Di Marco: The Philadelphia Flyers have the salary cap space and could take advantage of that and become a third-party broker and collect a few more assets.
They project to have almost $9 million in cap space by the trade deadline and could add an additional $6.25 million after that if they put Ryan Ellis on the LTIR.
