Ristolainen trade stock surges as deadline nears, suitors diversify

Friedman floats Bobby Brink as a potential Lightning target

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman suggested on NHL Now that the Tampa Bay Lightning could be a fit for Flyers winger Bobby Brink, noting his right-handed shot, youth, and modest cap hit.

With about $2.2 million in deadline cap space, the Lightning could accommodate Brink’s $1.5 million AAV, while Philadelphia faces a wing logjam with a crowded lineup, making Brink a potential trade candidate to help roster construction. Brink is a pending restricted free agent and has developed into a capable middle-six scorer.

Blues' high price for Thomas dims Flyers' deadline hopes

The Blues reportedly want a steep, long-term return for center Robert Thomas, making a Flyers trade unlikely despite the Flyers’ need for a top-line center and his reasonable contract.

Top prospect Ethan Belchetz will miss the rest of the season with a broken left clavicle, which could impact his draft stock. The piece notes Columbus’ strong run under coach Rick Bowness and their proximity to a playoff berth.
