Philadelphia Flyers quietly shopping two core pieces

The Flyers are also in a very strange spot with 9 unrestricted free agents this summer with some of those players being considered core members of the team. Those free agents include team Captain Claude Giroux, Rasmus Ristolainen, Derick Brassard, Martin Jones, Justin Braun and many more.

At least one NHL insider expects the Flyers to capitalize on those free agents and try to rebuild this year at the trade deadline. While a guest on The Jeff Marek Show, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman shared the following bold statement.

Friedman believes that the Flyers will look to trade not just Claude Giroux, but also consider moving defenseman Ivan Provorov.

Giroux is an unrestricted free agent as mentioned but the 24 year old Provorov would be a surprising move. Provorov has 3 years left after this season with a cap hit of $6,750,000.

Friedman also believes we will see the Flyers make a decision on what direction they'll take as an organization over the next couple months.

Given this news the Flyers are definitely a team to be monitored on the trade front.
