According to a recent report from Daily Faceoff, Philadelphia Flyers winger Bobby Brink may be one of the forwards at risk of being moved as the organization prepares for an incoming wave of winger prospects over the next several seasons.
Brink, 24, has carved out a regular role this season but finds himself in a crowded part of the Flyers’ depth chart. Through 41 games, the former second-round pick has posted 11 goals and 20 points, showing flashes of offensive touch while primarily playing in a middle-six role. While his production has been respectable, the Flyers’ long-term planning appears to be shifting toward younger, higher-ceiling wingers currently developing in the system.
From a contract standpoint, Brink is signed through the 2025-26 season on a two-year deal with a $1.5 million cap hit. He will be a restricted free agent with arbitration rights when the contract expires, giving the Flyers control—but also forcing a decision on whether he fits into the club’s future core.
Timing could be significant. With the NHL Olympic roster freeze approaching and the NHL trade deadline looming shortly after, teams across the league will soon be locked into their rosters. That window could increase Brink’s value as a controllable, cost-effective winger for clubs looking to add depth before the freeze.
Whether or not a move materializes, the report highlights a growing reality in Philadelphia: roster spots will become harder to hold as the Flyers’ prospect pipeline continues to mature.
