The Flyers take on the St. Louis Blues on Monday night at Wells Fargo Center, as the week of the NHL trade deadline arrives.

Following a forward-thinking, plan-driven trade for Ivan Provorov, the Flyers trade involving Kevin Hayes was much more on par with what a rebuild commands. Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither will the Flyers.

The Flyers have traded Kevin Hayes to the St. Louis Blues in a modified deal from the initially reported blockbuster.

As of Monday morning, both trades reportedly being worked on this weekend have not been formally completed by the Flyers and remain in a holding pattern.

The trade winds are blowing for the Flyers. There are multiple reports that the team is actively working on two trades, one involving Kevin Hayes and the St. Louis Blues and the other involving Tony DeAngelo and the Carolina Hurricanes, that could be completed as early as Sunday.

The Flyers return to the ice on Tuesday night to take on the St. Louis Blues, tied for the lowest point total in the league and coming off their seventh straight loss on Monday night in Boston.

Free agency opened on Friday and many players are electing patience in making their decisions, hearing out offers. There was no tampering period as there usually is in free agency, so every team was able to make their pitch against one another at the same time. On Day 1, the Flyers elected patience as well and continue to wait for the right opportunity.

The Flyers selected Emil Andrae, Zayde Wisdom, Elliot Desnoyers and Connor McClennon with their four picks on Day 2 of the draft. Now that you know the names, get to know the newest Flyers prospects with these scouting reports.

The first test for the Flyers comes in the Round Robin opener against the Boston Bruins, a team that was running away with the President's Trophy at the time of the pause. Game time is at 3 p.m.

The Flyers face the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night looking for their 10th straight win. They can also move into first place in the Metro with a win of any kind.
