Ridiculous Mock Trade That Sends Nylander to the Flyers

Do you think Danny Briere would make a radical trade to improve the Philadelphia Flyers team by acquiring one of the best players in the league?

This would involve trading away two key players, Travis Konecny and Scott Laughton, who are currently a big part of the team's identity.


Since most free-agency deals have already taken place, trades will be the way to go until the regular season begins.


If they trade Konecny and Laughton for William Nylander, it would immediately boost the team's performance, and Nylander would still fit the timeline for rebuilding as he is in the prime of his career.

Briere would need to send 50% of Laughton's cap hit to San Jose and retain 50% of Konecny's to make Maple Leaf's deal work financially. However, they would gain a 40-goal scorer in the last year of his contract, and Briere would have to move quickly to extend the contract.

Is it worth giving up two players who represent the Flyers organization's identity to acquire a player that can take them to the next level?
