It's NHL trade deadline season, and the Philadelphia Flyers have one game left before the bell rings at 3 p.m. on Friday. They don't have as many movable assets as in years past, when they traded Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche in 2024, Scott Laughton to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Andrei Kuzmenko to the Los Angeles Kings in 2025. They do have one name who keeps popping up: Rasmus Ristolainen.
The Flyers don't need to trade Ristolainen at the deadline since he has a year remaining on his contract. They'd be perfectly happy to keep him and kick the can to the offseason or next deadline.
