Difference between MacKinnon (who we would pick - Flyers would probably take Jones) and picking 8th (Lindholm or Monahan) is easily made up with the Brayden Schenn. Luke Schenn higher salary offsets any improvement over Butler, and helps the Flyer organization move on from the JVR trade disaster. The Flyers need to clear cap space and taking back Briere or Timmonen and getting back a young prospect like Cousins or Laughton would help to restock the shelves and provides some talent up front if the Flames are serious about challenging for the playoffs next year. Briere can also be moved at the trade deadline next year or the year after if the Flames hold back some salary.

You're nuts if you think Philly even looks at that offer. Even with salary considered, that's ridiculous.
