Anthony Di Marco just reported that the Flyers are open to moving Cam York if the right deal comes along.
It is a rumor, not a done deal. Di Marco, speaking with sources, said the team is certainly open to a move for the 25-year-old defenseman, and nothing in the report says a trade is close.
Di Marco also pointed to the numbers behind the report: York is in the second season of a five-year contract he signed in the summer of 2025, with an AAV of $5.15 million.
Di Marco noted that it has been a rough year for York, and that the Flyers would listen on him.
The rough year shows up on the stat line. York has 12 games played this season, no goals, one assist and a -10 rating.
This didn't come out of nowhere. Earlier today, Di Marco reported that sources called out York by name, along with Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier, Trevor Zegras and Travis Sanheim, for not pulling their weight.
The same sources said the play of Porter Martone and Matvei Michkov isn't the problem.
A second report raised the stakes. Di Marco said the Flyers will look to take an axe to their veteran nucleus if the season doesn't turn around, even if Konecny held firm and enforced his no-movement clause.
The Flyers sit 5-10-5, 27th in the NHL, with a -21 goal differential. That is the backdrop for every one of these conversations, and we have been tracking the Flyers' interest in Simon Edvinsson as well.
Would moving Cam York actually fix anything?
Probably not, and the timing is the problem. York was the 14th pick in 2019, he is 25, and the Flyers would be selling after 12 games of a bad stretch.
A -10 rating on a team giving up 66 goals is not all on one defenseman. Moving him now means taking whatever the market offers for a player at his lowest value.
If the veterans are the issue, Philadelphia has bigger names to shop than York. Sanheim, for one, scored in Monday night's 3-1 win in Vancouver and is still on the list of players called out.
The win in Vancouver was a start, and it doesn't change what sources are telling Di Marco. A heated moment on the Flyers bench had already put the locker room under a microscope.
Rick Tocchet's group is in Edmonton on Wednesday, and Daniel Briere's phone may be ringing before this road trip ends.
