The NHL trade deadline will arrive Monday at 3 p.m. ET.
Deals can be processed after the cutoff point, but around the deadline time, we should know for certain what the Flyers will look like moving forward.
So, what are the key questions surrounding the Flyers' outlook?
Let's dive into everything you need to know ahead of the deadline:
Where do Flyers stand in playoff race?
With 20 games remaining, the Flyers sit in third place of a busy Metropolitan Division. They are five points behind the first-place Capitals and three points back of the second-place Penguins. The Islanders, Hurricanes and Blue Jackets are all within striking distance.
For some context on how deep the division is compared to the league's other three, the Rangers are in seventh place of the Metro but would secure the first wild-card spot if they were in the Western Conference.

At 35-20-7, a top-eight team in the league and projected to finish with around 100 points, the Flyers entered Sunday holding an 83.4 percent chance to make the postseason, according to Hockey-Reference.com.
How should Flyers approach deadline?
Last season, general manager Chuck Fletcher was selling parts. Prior to the deadline, he traded Wayne Simmonds, Jordan Weal, Christian Folin, Dale Weise, Taylor Leier and Anthony Stolarz.
This season, there is no For Sale sign. The Flyers are contenders and Fletcher, in his first full season as GM, will not be looking to subtract. If anything, the Flyers will buy to strengthen their playoff push.
However, adding won't be easy. The Flyers have a little over $2 million in cap space, according to CapFriendly.com. To make an expensive, splashier acquisition, the Flyers would have to lose a player or players in a deal, and that might not be Fletcher's objective with how well his team is playing.
“You have to maybe look at including players in the deal. It’s hard to trade a fourth-round pick for a $4 million player," Fletcher said in mid-January. "With our group right now, I don’t know that’s what we’re looking to do. If we can improve our team, we will.
"For our situation, I don't know if it makes sense to pay a massive price for a rental right now. I don't think that that is the right move for this group but if we can add a forward that can help our team, sure."
Which areas will Flyers target?
One of the Flyers' biggest areas of strength is on defense and the team is getting healthier at the position with Shayne Gostisbehere's return. After a disastrous 2018-19 in net, the Flyers have gotten excellent stability from Carter Hart and Brian Elliott.
So if the Flyers make moves, they'll likely be eyeing bottom-six forward depth, particularly at center. For a while, it appeared the team was lacking consistent and secondary scoring.
But the Flyers have improved in those facets and have seen significant strides from their younger forwards Connor Bunnaman, Joel Farabee and Nicolas Aube-Kubel. With Morgan Frost (three goals, two assists in last five games at AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley) available for another call-up and Nolan Patrick (migraine disorder) in the fold, the Flyers may stand pat Monday at center.
The Flyers are a top-10 goal-scoring club (3.24 per game) and 13-5-1 with an NHL-high 68 markers since Jan. 8. Meanwhile, their goal prevention has been vastly better all year (2.87 goals allowed per game) after it was a real problem last season (3.41 goals allowed per game).
"I like my team," Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault said Saturday. "I know that Chuck looks at any option that can improve our team, he’s been doing that since the first day that I was hired. Now we’re into the final stretch. If there’s something that he feels can improve our team, he’ll definitely look at it. But I’m very happy moving forward with the players that we have here.”
Could any Flyers be moved?
It feels unlikely unless Fletcher pulls off something big.
Gostisbehere has seen his name pop up in trade rumors going back to last season. The defenseman is an attractive chip because he's not far removed from a career 65-point year in 2017-18, is only 26 years old and under contract for the next three seasons at a reasonable $4.5 million cap hit.
Robert Hagg, who just turned 25 years old, has played well this season and will be a restricted free agent in the offseason.
The Flyers have depth on the blue line and quality defensive prospects in the system — Egor Zamula, Cam York, Wyatt Kalynuk, Mark Friedman and Wyatte Wylie, to name some.
If they have a position from which to shed in order to improve another, it's defenseman.
Three players on the Flyers' current roster have expiring contracts this offseason — Elliott, Justin Braun and Tyler Pitlick. Those three aren't going anywhere at the deadline.
What are Flyers' assets?
The Flyers have a first- and second-round pick this summer. Overall, they have eight selections in the 2020 NHL draft — a first, second, two fourth-rounders, a fifth, sixth and two seventh-rounders.
The organization, of course, has an appealing prospect pool, as well, highlighted by Frost, York, Zamula, Isaac Ratcliffe, Jay O'Brien, Bobby Brink, Tanner Laczynski and Noah Cates, among others.
“I don’t think we need to mortgage the future to try to get into the playoffs this year," Fletcher said earlier this month in an interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia's Taryn Hatcher. "I think our team is more than capable of getting into the playoffs with what we have, but if we can find a way to improve our team for this season and going forward, we’ll definitely not be hesitant to make a move right now.”
