Maple Leafs urged to target goalscoring Flyers winger in trade
"Trade speculation is beginning to build around the Philadelphia Flyers after Sportsnet's NHL analyst Nick Kypreos released his most recent trade board and suggested the organization could be ready to "swing big" when it comes to reshaping its roster. That comment has only fueled chatter across the league, with the Maple Leafs emerging as a logical trade partner if Philadelphia does, in fact, explore a significant move."
"While Kypreos wasn't ready to add any Philadelphia players to his board, Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett were mentioned as Flyers' pieces that could be moved as part of a blockbuster deal. Konecy and Tippett are part of the Flyers' great depth on the wing. Those two, plus Matvei Michkov and Bobby Brink, all play the right side, with ex-Leaf Nikita Grebenkin in reserve."
"For the Maple Leafs, their greatest depth is in goal with Anthony Stolarz, Joseph Woll, and Dennis Hildeby, all proven NHL netminders. Goaltending is an area that the Flyers need to strengthen. Starter Dan Vladar has been good, but Samuel Ersson has struggled with a 3.51 goals-against average and .856 save percentage. A Stolarz for Tippett trade was the subject of a recent episode of Leafs Digest with hosts Nick Gosse and Darius Domingues."
Trade speculation is building around the Philadelphia Flyers, suggesting imminent roster changes. The Toronto Maple Leafs are a logical partner because they need top-six scoring help. Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett have been identified as movable Flyers pieces amid right-wing depth that also includes Matvei Michkov and Bobby Brink. Toronto's strength is goaltending with Anthony Stolarz, Joseph Woll, and Dennis Hildeby, while Philadelphia needs improvement behind Dan Vladar as Samuel Ersson has a 3.51 goals-against average and .856 save percentage. A Stolarz-for-Tippett proposal highlights Tippett's $6.2 million AAV, top-six and power-play ability, physicality, and contract security through 2032.
