Both the Coyotes and Flyers are expected to be sellers at this season's trade deadline as they tank for top draft prospect Connor Bedard. There's a number of pending unrestricted free agents who could be appealing to the Maple Leafs and there's also Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun who is still entering the prime of his career and has a few years left on his contract.
