While van Riemsdyk still has 20-plus goal potential, he has only scored three goals in his past 19 games.

Despite this, teams are still showing interest in him and the Flyers expect other teams to jump in on the potential trade as time winds down on Friday's trade deadline day.

The veteran forward will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
