Kings-Red Wings and Wild are trying to get Ryan Kesler. #tvasports

Don't forget the Penguins who are looking at Kesler. #tvasports

Now those teams make much more sense than the Flyers. They have needs at center and prospects to get him.

Not to the Flyers... they're only interested in puck-movers if they're a) over 30, or b) in the midst of a career season.
- Tomahawk

This is painfully true, probably not going to change until there is a new GM either.

I get this strange feeling the Flyers won't be dealing anyone.
- PhillySportsGuy

i think they've been too quiet...feel like they're working on something (hush hush)

I forgot to include Eminger

Lol.

Seriously though, Carle & Mez were reclamations with former track-records of really good point production.

I think Coburn's the only one that qualifies as taking a chance on an unknown commodity. I guess you could say Eminger was a stab in that direction, too.

The numbers don't make them equal. Kesler is a bigger meaner player than Schenn. Kesler also better at the two way game as well.

Kesler 6-2 202
Schenn 6-1 190

Put coots and Scheen on a weight program to put on 10 pounds and then size doesn't matter...

Schenn has shown he can play a gritty game too

Yeah its been pretty quiet over there...I think they move a d man cause they so many if that wasnt the case I would completely agree

Not to mention the Flyers are overloaded at C.

They do take some chances. I'm sure their scouts just didn't like those guys.

Relax he's got two hours...No need to rush

If they end up not dealing Mez or anyone else. I imagine that sometime during the playoffs when d-men start falling like WWI era infantry, we will be glad to have him.

That being said, I hope they make a good deal for him. Otherwise he is a good insurance policy.

Ryan Callahan's original ask of 8 years at $7.5 late last summer should be marked as the starting point for his New York departure.

I dislike schenn so I undervalued him. You like him, so you overvalued him. He's probably somewhere in the middle.

Kimmo seems to like MacDonald

Coburn/Kimmo
AMac/Streit
Mez or Gus/Schenn

Suddenly your top-six can actually move the puck from top to bottom adequately.

San Jose has flat stated they won't take limited guys like Grossmann. They're fully embracing analytics and skating.
- Jsaquella

Agree
they got rid of nearly the same player last year in Douglas Murray, they won't want big Nik

Heading back to pre cap era salaries. Lame.

I thought our big problem was we didn't have enough puck movers and had a bunch of slow defensive-only players. We basically swap one player out and we're an adequate puck moving team?
