BREAKING - Surprise Philadelphia Flyer lands 8th on the top trade bait list

The Philadelphia Flyers have emerged as a pleasant surprise this season, currently holding the fourth position in the competitive Metropolitan Division. Their success can be attributed to their solid defensive performance.

The recent return of Marc Staal and Rasmus Ristolainen from injury provides the Flyers with additional defensive options. This not only strengthens their defensive lineup but also grants them trade flexibility and enhances their position as potential sellers.

A notable trade asset for the Flyers is right-handed defenseman Sean Walker, who holds the eighth spot on Frank Seravalli's Top 20 Trade Board. Walker has seen an increased average ice time of 21:23 per game this season, showcasing his growing role.

With 10 points in 22 games and a solid 54.4 Corsi For Percentage, Walker's versatility includes both penalty killing and power play contributions. Moreover, his reasonable $2.65-million cap hit contract for the rest of the season makes him an attractive option for potential trades.
