Kevin Kurz of The Athletic: (mailbag) It does make some sense that the Philadelphia Flyers would be interested in a top-line center like Elias Pettersson but he does come with some big question marks. He’s also got an $11.6 million cap hit for seven more years. All things considered, that’s likely too much for the Flyers.

The Philadelphia Flyers (25-26-7) square off against the Pittsburgh Penguins (23-27-9) during Tuesday’s NHL action, starting at 7:00 PM ET at Wells Fargo Center and broadcast on ESPN+. The Flyers sit in 14th place and the Penguins are 15th in the Eastern Conference.
