Three Players the Flyers Should Buy if They are Buying

The Flyers are in a weird stage right now this season. The team could either cash in its chips and go home; sell off some players and hope for a really good draft pick. Or, the team could buy some assets, hopefully some of them would be willing to sign an extension, and make a run for it. Maybe they could end up being this year’s St. Louis Blues that get hot at the right moment and make a deep run. Maybe they could do a little bit of both.

There are a lot of great names who could be available at this year’s deadline. Bo Horvat is already off the board. It’s a shame, because he would really look good in a Flyers uniform.

Other names wouldn’t make sense for the Flyers because they are kind of/sort of on a youth movement. So, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, aren’t coming; unless you want them as a “grandpa/mentor” sort of role. Although, either one would be a good fit on the third line, it’s just hard to see happening. And besides, they aren’t leaving one bad team for another non-contender.

The following are three players that the Flyers should kick the tires on and could add if the price is right. All three could be signed to extensions; which should be a precursor to the trade. All three would be valuable to this team for several reasons.
