With the Flyers losing LW Simon Gagne for the season and also losing ground in the Eastern Conference, it's possible they're in the market for a top 6 LWer going into the stretch drive. As mentioned previously in this space, they have more than 49M committed to next year with guys like RJ Umberger (RFA), Jeff Carter (RFA), Riley Cote (RFA) and JASON Smith (UFA) needing to be re-signed or replaced. Would Huselius for Carter or Umberger make sense for both teams? Carter is definitely the more attractive option, but the Flyers may be loathe to part with him. Granting that, is Umberger enough for Kristian at the deadline?
Just food for thought.
