Flyers Rumors: 2 Potential Landing Spots for Sean Walker


After being a cap casualty of the Los Angeles Kings this past offseason, defenseman Sean Walker has been thriving with the Philadelphia Flyers. Because of this, he is now viewed as one of the top early-season trade candidates, and he should get a ton of interest as a rental. Let's go over two teams who are expected to target the right-shot defenseman.

Toronto Maple Leafs: The Toronto Maple Leafs will likely be in the mix for Walker this season. The right side of their defense needs a significant boost, and Walker continues to play well as the season rolls on, he would give them just that. 

New York Islanders: The New York Islanders have been in the market for another defenseman, so they certainly could be in the mix for Walker this season. He would give them another option for their power play and could play top-four minutes.

We will need to wait and see if either one of these two clubs land Walker from here.
