The Philadelphia Flyers were one of a few teams selling leading up to the NHL trade deadline. Scott Laughton was the player most talked about with Rasmus Ristolainen on some trade boards as well. Andrei Kuzmenko, who the Flyers acquired earlier this year, was a potential trade chip as well given his contract status. In the end, Flyers general manager Danny Briere made multiple trades with Andrei Kuzmenko and Scott Laughton dealt out for some future assets. But how did the Flyers fare in those deals?
