Flyers' star forward on the Oilers' radar?
The noise of the Flyers moving Travis Konecny in the last few weeks has been growing. Rumours began to fly when the Flyers made their first big splash in the Danny Briere era after he traded Ivan Provorov to the Columbus Blue Jackets including the LA Kings, a package that the Flyers received six players. Three were roster players or prospects and draft picks.
TK is the next player on their list to move with the Flyers looking to make major changes in their philosophy and their vision. I do not understand why they would move him, as he is an established NHL star winger who could stay with the team and help build it up.
In the latest article on The Athletic, it was reported that the Oilers are unlisted as a potential suitor for TK.

I do feel that general manager Ken Holland will need to do some creative trading to make this deal work as the Oilers do not have enough cap space to make the trade outright. Currently, the Oilers have $5.97 million in cap space and they have seven unrestricted and restricted free agents to sign.
Oilers Alert, sent out a tweet on Twitter showing a potential deal that could come about for the Flyers.
If the Flyers are willing to give up a star winger like TK, the team deserves more than Kyler Yamamoto. He has been battling injuries all season long and tends to disappear at times.
I would think Ryan Nugent Hopkins would be the one coming back. Some may say that is a high price because you are getting a goal scorer with fast foot speed. If he's positioned with either Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, his numbers are going to skyrocket as Zach Hymans did.
