Darren Dreger reports that veteran defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen and forward Scott Laughton are already drawing significant interest from other NHL teams, despite the trade deadline being months away. The Philadelphia Flyers are seen as sellers as they focus on long-term team building.
The NHL trade market has already been active, but the U.S. Thanksgiving date typically begins to set a course for the buyers and sellers in a season.
"Here's another interesting name that's been out there on and off over the last couple of years, but back on. Not that Philadelphia wants to get rid of him, but Scott Laughton is a centreman that is drawing a crowd. Lots of interest in him, but - again - not eager to move him. So, if they have to listen closer to the deadline, it's going to take a premium draft pick or likely a top young prospect or NHL player.
Selected eighth overall by Buffalo Sabres in the 2013 draft, Ristolainen has 53 goals and 290 points in 735 games. He was acquired by the Flyers in 2021 for a package that included first- and second-round picks and defenceman Robert Hagg.
