Description

This is just a wild guess for a trade. Its weird ton have Friedman say the Flyers were looking at Xhekaj and then the Habs send down Barron and Stephens. Habs only have 3 centers on the NHL roster now.

Flyers cannot do this unless they move both of Walker and Seeler, and even then I don't think they can afford to move Frost before knowing they have another Center coming in sooner rather than later

This.....the Flyers have 8 defenseman on the roster, and we don't have enough playing time for them currently. Frost is playing out of his mind rn, unless it's a massive return I don't think he is moved

He wont teams are calling the Habs not the other way around. Xhekaj is only moved for a massive return and this aint it! You have the evidence the last few games how the dynamic with Xhekaj is needed in the lineup. Nobody can do what he does. He's an unicorn around the league and thats why every GM salivates over him!

Arber is worth a lot more than ppl realize. Friedman also said teams have called like the Flyers and Hughes wasnt interested.

Stephens is being passed through waivers but that doesnt mean he wont be in the lineup once he clears and they've gone 11F-7D before with Suzuki pulling double duty at center. Suzuki is a top 5 center in ice time the last two years so he can handle the minutes short term.
