Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic reports that the Flyers are one of the teams interested in Columbus defenseman Seth Jones.
While it seemed like an obvious fit, as the Flyers have desperately needed a defenseman to play matchup minutes on the right of Ivan Provorov since Matt Niskanen’s shock retirement, LeBrun now confirmed that the Flyers are in on the bidding.
As well as the obvious need, LeBrun notes that the Flyers have plenty of young players in their 20s that the Blue Jackets might covet. Joel Farabee, Travis Konecny and Morgan Frost could be among the group players which LeBrun is referring to.
The Flyers won’t be the only team interested in Jones, however. LeBrun reports the interest for the defenseman is off the charts.
