> If the Flyers stumble out of the gate when the season resumes and become sellers, they likely would get some calls on Rasmus Ristolainen before the March 6 trade deadline. And, like last season, the Flyers would listen, according to multiple team sources.
>Last season, interest in Ristolainen was tepid in the weeks leading up to the deadline, but picked up in a hurry late as some teams scrambled in search of options at the last minute. But Ristolainen remained, and promptly suffered a season-ending triceps injury that kept him out until Dec. 16 of this season.
> Much like they did with Scott Laughton last season, the Flyers would not simply give away Ristolainen, considering he has one year left on his contract at a $5.1 million salary cap hit.
My prediction is the Flyers won’t trade Risto, we’ll get told there was limited interest, and they didn’t want to sell low.
But that would be a ridiculous excuse because last year they weren’t even willing to sell high.

Brière has a history of trading 1 guy for a first round pick each trade deadline.
Provy, Walker, Laughton.
This year it might be Risto.
It might be Tippet or Brink to make room for Martone.
