It’s an off day for the Flyers (sort of), but that certainly doesn’t mean that it’s going to be quiet. We have a bit of news!
The Flyers have announced that they’ve placed Nick Seeler on IR, and Adam Ginning has been recalled from the Phantoms to replace him for the time being.
Ginning has been having a quietly pretty solid season – he hasn’t put up the same offensive numbers as an Emil Andrae or a Ronnie Attard, but he’s been managing to play his usual sound defensive style, has been dependable in that way, so he makes sense as a pretty direct Seeler style substitute at the bottom of the lineup for the defense group.
And as for what this means for Seeler, while he doesn’t figure to be out long term, and this doesn’t necessarily preclude the Flyers from moving him on or before the trade deadline on its own, the whispers picking up that the Flyers are moving towards an extension with him might just do so.
So that’s potentially one name off the trade board as we near Friday’s deadline. We’ll see where we go from here.
