Flyers Reportedly Shopping For Defensive Upgrades

In his 32 Thoughts column, Friedman also revealed that the Philadelphia Flyers are “definitely checking what’s out there on defence,” though Friedman did caution that he doesn’t believe we’ll see much early-season trade action. Flyers defenseman Cam York is currently dealing with a day-to-day injury, but it’s possible the Flyers’ attempts to add a blueliner are unrelated to that injury. The team’s third pairing at this point is set to be staffed by Adam Ginning and Noah Juulsen, two players who struggled in the preseason, so it’s possible the lackluster training camps of the two players has motivated the club to seek external reinforcements.
