The Philadelphia Flyers made significant moves in the NHL trade market, involving defenseman Sean Walker. They brokered deals with the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche, receiving draft picks in return. The Flyers also facilitated a trade for Noah Hanifin to Vegas, retaining part of his salary and acquiring a fifth-round pick. Sean Walker has joined the Avalanche, wearing jersey number 2, and is set to make his debut with the team. The Flyers' trade deadline transactions included acquiring players like Ryan Johanson and Erik Johnson while parting ways with Sean Walker and other picks.

The #Flyers were the broker for the Noah Hanifin deal to Vegas. They will retain 25% of Hanifin's salary and, for their part, will get a fifth-rounder in 2024. Flyers lost a fifth-rounder in 2026 in the Walker deal so kind of get one back here.
