> While it isn’t a top priority, I fully expect the Flyers to be on the lookout for a left hand shooting partner for defenceman Jamie Drysdale. They’ve been tied to Ottawa Senators defenceman Jakob Chychrun, though the cost to acquire and extend the player looms. The Flyers want to keep enough money available long term to extend Drysdale and Cam York in several years’ time. I do think a defenceman similar to Buffalo’s Mattias Samuelsson (age, style and contractual wise) is what the Flyers want.

If they want to give us their best prospect and a 1st round pick maybe.
I’m not dying to trade Samuelsson but he shouldn’t be off the table. He has a nice skillset to have but that’s a lot easier to find in a 3rd pairing role than guys like Dahlin / power / byram are. His contract is no sort of steal, more like fair if anything and his injury issues are concerning.
