Teams looking for help in their middle six could make a push for Frost. In 33 games this season, he has seven goals, 17 points, and a minus-8 rating.
Rasmus Ristolainen
Rasmus Ristolainen has generated a lot of chatter in the rumor mill this season. It is understandable, as he is a big right-shot defender who plays top-four minutes and is extremely physical.

Ristolainen has one goal, nine points, and 59 hits in 37 games this season. He is also signed until the end of the 2026-27 campaign, carrying a $5.1 million cap hit.
Scott Laughton
Scott Laughton has been generating interest around the NHL, and this should only continue into the new year. The 30-year-old forward is having a strong season, posting eight goals and 21 points in 37 games. Thus, he should be a hot commodity at the deadline.

Laughton is the kind of player that contenders love to have, as he is a solid two-way forward who is never shy about throwing the body. Thus, he has plenty of trade value, and it will be interesting to see if the Flyers take advantage of that.
