- A pair of Flyers prospects are on the move in the WHL with the trade deadline in that league looming. The Seattle Thunderbirds announced that they’ve acquired center Matthew Gard from Red Deer while the Everett Silvertips revealed that they’ve added defenseman Luke Vlooswyk, also from Red Deer. Both players were picked in the 2025 draft, Gard in the second round and Vlooswyk in the fifth. Gard is having a quiet year offensively, notching just six goals and five assists in 23 games while Vlooswyk is still looking for his first goal of the campaign and collected six assists in 32 outings prior to the swap. Philadelphia has until June 1st, 2027, to sign both players.
