The Philadelphia Flyers are approaching this trade deadline from a unique angle. While most other teams who are several points out of a playoff spot, are gearing up to sell off their pending free agents or possibly move on from some core pieces, the Flyers don’t really have much of that. No bounty of veterans who they can get a heaping pile of draft picks for to help their rebuild, it’s just going to largely be status quo. That is except one specific player. Rasmus Ristolainen is the...

The LA Kings lost Kevin Fiala for the season to a tough loss at the Olympics, but after already adding Artemi Panarin and this being Anze Kopitar's last season, more will be done to ensure the team is given a chance to succeed. Jeff Marek said, "I don't think the Kings want...to have Anze Kopitar's career end in the regular season. You lose Kevin Fiala...that is a major dent. I cannot see Ken Holland sitting on his hands. He's gotta use that LTIR space to bring in a scorer." Options for scorer...

Nothing dirty about this collision, freak accident, unfortunate outcome. If someone other than Tom Wilson landed on Fiala's leg, there would be no disc...
The LA Kings are still looking to upgrade and a center is at the top of their needs. Ideally, a center with term would fit nicely in the plans, but even just someone to help with a playoff push and deeper run this season would be of great help as well. According to David Pagnotta, "Charlie Coyle, that's a player that I believe (LA) has some interest in." Coyle is a strong third line center and is able to play as the second line center. He has been doing both his entire career and this season. ...
