The Philadelphia Flyers struggled mightily ahead of the Olympic break, as they lost 12 out of their last 15 games. With this, they now have a 25-20-11 record and are eight points behind the Boston Bruins for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
If the Flyers are unable to pile up some wins following the Olympic break, they very well could end up being sellers again this year. If this ends up being the case, these three Flyers could end up being trade candidates.

Rasmus Ristolainen
Rasmus Ristolainen has been a popular name in the rumor mill for quite some time. Teams are always on the hunt for big right-shot defenseman who throw the body, so he could generate interest from contenders. His injury trouble could make some teams worry, but he still stands out as a player to watch.
Bobby Brink
Bobby Brink could be another player to keep an eye on if the Flyers elect to be sellers. The Flyers have a surplus of skilled wingers, so the 24-year-old could be used to help improve Philadelphia’s roster elsewhere. In 50 games this season, the 5-foot-8 forward has scored a career-high 13 points and recorded 24 points.

Noah Juulsen
Noah Juulsen is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) who playoff clubs could consider targeting. He could be a nice addition to a contender looking for more defensive depth and bite for their blueline. In 42 games this season, the 6-foot-2 defenseman has recorded one goal, nine points, 87 hits, and a plus-2 rating.
