REPORT: Insider makes a huge declaration on Gaudreau and the Flyers

That's what he began to do by putting Oskar Lindblom on waivers. He's now trying hard to move James Van Riemsdyk, but he's unwilling to give a 1st round pick to get rid of him. If the Flyers were in the middle of a rebuild, I'll understand why Fletcher wouldn't want to get rid of a first round pick.

But this is not the reality we're in. The Flyers want to be better and make the playoffs next year. In this case, you do everything in your power to improve your team. And when a player like Gaudreau is available and wants to join your team, you make it work...

Another journalist, Emily Kaplan from ESPN, wrote on Twitter that the Flyers were Gaudreau's top choice. But if Philly can't make the money work, we'll probably see him with another Metropolitan team - the New Jersey Devils seem to be the most likely option out there.
