Flyers Rumors: 3 Teams Expected to Target Sean Walker


The Philadelphia Flyers are set to be sellers at the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline, as they are in the middle of a rebuild. Defenseman Sean Walker is one player who will likely be moved, as he is having a strong season and is a pending UFA. Because of this, let's go over three teams who are likely to target him over the next several weeks. 

Toronto Maple Leafs: The Maple Leafs have been linked to Walker for a good portion of the season. This is because they desperately need to improve their blue line, and this is especially so when it comes to their right side. Due to this, do not be surprised if they make a major push for him, as it looks like a very good match on paper. 

Dallas Stars: The Dallas Stars are another team to watch when it comes to Walker. The right side of their defensive group could use a boost, and he would give them just that. He could fit on their bottom pairing and also see time on their penalty kill if acquired.

New Jersey Devils: The New Jersey Devils are another team to pay attention to. With Dougie Hamilton out long term, they have been on the hunt for a right-shot defenseman, and Walker is one of the best ones on the market right now. Due to this, do not be surprised if they seriously target him as these next handful of weeks go by.
