Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images In order to free up cap space and shake up the roster, the most talked about option has been trading pending restricted free agent Nicolas Hague, and recently, trusted insider Elliotte Friedman [https://www.sportsnet.ca/590/the-fan-hockey-show/] shared a team that has shown plenty of interest in trading for Hague. That team is the Philadelphia Flyers [http://thn.com/philadelphia]. Acquiring Hague would make a lot of sense for the Flyers. They have the salary cap space to sign him to a long-term deal, and his age fits the Flyers' timeline. The Flyers won't be competing for a Stanley Cup in the next year or two but will want to begin to take steps in the right direction, which starts by competing for a playoff spot. At just 26 years old and with plenty of playoff experience, including winning a Stanley Cup, Hague would be a fantastic addition to Rick Tocchet's squad. The Golden Knights haven't come out and claimed they are actively looking to trade Hague, but reports have stated that they are taking calls on him and are listening to offers. With players like Kaedan Korczak, Lukas Cormier and Ben Hutton waiting on the outskirts, it's made Hague expendable considering he can command a lot of money on his next contract. The Golden Knights would be looking to regain draft capital in exchange for Hague, although the market for the Kitchener, ON native, has yet to be set. The Flyers have three first-round picks in the 2025 NHL Draft, and the Golden Knights could be looking to move Hague to get back into the first round and begin to repair their prospect pool.
