Description
We all thought the Flyers would be sellers.


Guys like Konecny, Laughton, Frost, Walker and Ristolainen have all been subject to trade rumors.


But the playoffs are within reach.


IMO, the Flyers should be focused on making the playoffs and winning the Cup instead of making trades.


They should stand pat at the trade deadline.


I understand Sean Walker is a pending UFA.


But if you lose him in the offseason after making the playoffs this year, so be it.

Guys like Seeler, Laughton, Walker, Atkinson should be on the block. Briere stated it before the season they want to build a team that's seen as a contender for the Cup every year, not just a team that makes the playoffs year in and year out. He's got a vision for this team and he should stick to it. This season was about letting the young guys play to see what we have. They've played well, theres no doubt about that.

If you're moving Seeler, Laughton, Walker or Atkinson, it should be for better players with term.

It doesn't make sense to trade key players for futures when the playoffs are within reach.

Honestly I gotta disagree. They are nowhere near cupcontenders and would be lucky to get to the second round. It's wiser to just sell guys like Seeler, Walker and Laughton. They would still have good chances of making the playoffs because rest of the metro is playing so badly.

As long as selling them doesn't cost you a spot in the playoffs, then sure.

Even if they would end up missing the playoffs it wouldn't matter.

They are still in a rebuild and getting a bit higher pick won't hurt them.
