On today’s show, Russ and Rachel break down Flyers vs Jets. What went wrong here - was it the Flyers defense, lack of quality offense, or both? How did Sam Ersson do in net? And if it’s Ristolainen & Laughton’s last game as a Philadelphia Flyers player, what is their lasting legacy?

Then we check in on the last day leading up to the NHL Trade Deadline. Now that a lot of deals are done, what should the Flyers do today? What can they do to get the best value for guys like Ristolainen & Laughton? Finally, we preview Flyers vs the Seattle Kraken & NJ Devils. What impact does the big trade Seattle made earlier this week have on their team now and moving forward? And how are the NJ Devils going to deal with the loss of Jack Hughes for the remainder of the season?

What can they do differently than their last matchup and from the game on Tuesday vs the Calgary Flames. We focus on goaltending, optimizing the lineup for Travis Konecny & Jakob Pelletier, and the impact of the Jets recent losses to Metro teams.

We then look at the recent Trade Deadline action around the league to see if there’s any effect on a potential deal for Rasmus Ristolainen or Scott Laughton. Plus we break down one of your trade proposals! What would it take to get a top or second line center for the Flyers?

Finally we take a look at draft eligible prospect Adam Benak and ask if the Flyers should take a shot on this feisty smaller Center.
