If the Flyers are in the playoff hunt you think they'll ship him off?
Depends on where he is on depth chart by then and who is pushing behind him, combined ofc with what value they could get for him.
Not a guarantee by any means... but does mean slightly more flexibility if the right circumstances arise... and a similar level player most likely in the meantime.
Flyers are likely going to have 8 Dmen going into year in:
Del Zotto -- Gostisbehere
Provorov -- Gudas
McDonald -- Streit
Schultz -- Manning
With Morin, Sanheim, Alt, Hagg & Brennan in the AHL behind them too.
If one is not moved before the season it is pretty likely one is moved in-season.
