Golden Knights intensify efforts to acquire these two top-6 forwards
The NHL trade deadline is quickly approaching, and as the Philadelphia Flyers continue to struggle this season, rumors are swirling about potential trades the team may make. According to Elliotte Friedman, James Van Riemsdyk has drawn interest from at least four teams, including the Vegas Golden Knights.
Van Riemsdyk, a 32-year-old left winger, has been with the Flyers since 2018 and has put up respectable numbers in his time with the team. In the current season, he has tallied 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 39 games, and he has a career total of 480 points in 706 NHL games.
It's no surprise that the Golden Knights, who are currently in first place in the pacific division, would be interested in adding a player of Van Riemsdyk's caliber to their roster. With the team's success over the past few years, they have shown that they are willing to make big moves to improve their chances of winning a Stanley Cup.
Travis Konecny, another forward for the Flyers, is also rumored to be a potential trade piece, but it seems that the team would only consider moving him for a truly significant offer.
As the trade deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see what moves the Flyers ultimately make. Will they part ways with Van Riemsdyk or Konecny? Or will they focus on acquiring the centers they need to strengthen their team? Only time will tell, but for now, the Vegas Golden Knights and other teams will continue to monitor the situation closely.
