Today&#8217;s NHL rumours look at a possible James van Riemsdyk trade.<\/p>\n<p>All NHL rumours come from the original source and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<h2>NHL Rumours<\/h2>\n<h3>A Look at a Possible James van Riemsdyk Trade<\/h3>\n<p>Rumour: Chris Johnston for North Star Bets takes a look at possible sellers at the upcoming trade deadline. He says the Flyers are trapped between a rock and a hard place in the standings. Too good to be really bad and too bad to be good. Philadelphia general manager Chuck Fletcher also doesn&#8217;t have a lot of pieces to sell at the deadline.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New, for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NorthStarBet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NorthStarBet<\/a>: Diving deep on the teams that are selling at this NHL trade deadline with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PuckPedia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@PuckPedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Needs, wants, salary cap scenarios and who is for sale.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/npwS7DFuXq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/npwS7DFuXq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/reporterchris\/status\/1618625661215866880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>One person that could draw interest is the 33-year-old winger. He&#8217;s had seasons where he&#8217;s scored 30 goals, but he&#8217;s also struggled on the defensive end. This could be one thing that makes general managers nervous about acquiring the New Jersey native.<\/p>\n<h3>What a James van Riemsdyk Trade Means<\/h3>\n<p>The veteran is in the last year of his contract that makes $7 million per season. He could be a good rental piece for a team. However, that contract is a scary one. Fletcher could retain some of the salary to make a trade more attractive.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia has also gotten some <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2019\/09\/12\/ivan-provorov-signs\/\" target=\"_self\">trade interest for other players<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/provoiv01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-01-29_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Provorov<\/a>.
