NHL rumors: the Flyers are active in the Claude Giroux file

The Philadelphia Flyers are hard at work closing a deal involving their star forward Claude Girouxsays our colleague Pierre LeBrun.

The latter notes that there was some progress in this file on Friday, but that the Flyers are not yet close to coming to an agreement with a team.

The 34-year-old forward has 18 goals and 24 assists in 57 games with the Flyers this season, his 15th with the team.

Carolina is keen on its 2023 1st pick

The Carolina Hurricanes have informed other NHL teams that they will not be trading their 2023 first-round pick for a rental player, LeBrun reports.

The club lost their 2022 first-round pick following the hostile bid filed for the services of Jesperi Kotkaniemi last summer.

The Hurricanes currently sit second in the Eastern Conference standings with 88 points, two points behind the Florida Panthers.

The Panthers recently traded their 2023 first-round pick to the Montreal Canadiens, along with prospect Tyler Smilanic and a 2022 fourth-round pick, in exchange for the defenseman Ben Chiarotfuture unrestricted free agent.

Fleury: moderate interest

As the trade deadline looms, interest in the Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury would be moderate for now, says LeBrun.

According to him, a few teams made general requests, but nothing serious.

Fleury will become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
