The best insider in the business revealed why the Flyers didn't go after Johnny Gaudreau

There's a lot of reasons to be angry at the Flyers GM. A superstar wanted to play in Philadelphia. He even told his friends that his objective was to sign with the Flyers. However, the team didn't even make an offer to Gaudreau?

Why? The Flyers were 40 points out of a playoff spot. Gaudreau wouldn't have probably solved the problem. They preferred to fill other holes in the lineup than spending all of their money on Gaudreau. Also, they weren't able to trade James Van Riemsdyk because teams were asking for the Flyers 2023 first round pick, rather than the Panthers first pick in 2024, acquired by Philadelphia in the Claude Giroux trade.
