The 2026 NHL Trade Deadline is approaching fast — and the Philadelphia Flyers may be staring at a franchise-shaping decision.
With the playoff race tightening and contenders looking to bulk up, could this finally be the moment the Flyers move Rasmus Ristolainen? After rebuilding his value and re-establishing himself as one of the league’s most physical, minute-munching right-shot defensemen, Ristolainen may be exactly what contenders are willing to pay a premium for.
But what about Owen Tippett? Is he truly part of the long-term core, or would Danny Brière consider a bold move if the right offer hits the table?
In this episode, we break down:
Why Ristolainen’s market could explode
The type of return Philadelphia should demand
Whether trading Tippett even makes sense
How this deadline shapes the Flyers’ long-term rebuild
What Brière’s track record tells us
Is this a calculated seller’s deadline? Or does Philly hold firm and push forward?
Let’s talk about it.

MM39 didn’t have the best OT play but he needs to get the experience.
Risto for McQueen.
Never should have traded the beast mcrimon
I'm a Vladar hater Mr 2 goals or less will hurt or draft position, of course we get a goalie that plays solid and it hurts the flyers, clearly I enjoy Vladar I don't see how Edmonton doesn't kick the tires, it's he had 2 shutouts he'd be a top 5 goalie this season
