The Philadelphia Flyers took a beating last night in Montreal as they lost to the Canadiens 5-1. The loss comes following a 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday and doesn't get any easier with the big game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday as the Pens' are also fighting for a playoff spot. Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher has previously stated that the only untouchable on the team is Claude Giroux, could a loss on Saturday see Fletcher blow things up?According to Dave Isaac of the Courier Post, if Fletcher were to blew it up and trade key pieces like Gostisbehere, Couturier or Patrick it would likely be in the summer. "I don't think he wants to rock the boat that much right now. In the summer? All bets are off.Fletcher hasn't met with the media much but when he has, each time he's talked about the summer and there being opportunity for more moves then. I think that's when he'll really put his stamp on the roster and start doing more major surgery.It would be very surprising if he parted with Sean Couturier, the team's No. 1 center, or Nolan Patrick, who is still only 20. Shayne Gostisbehere would be less surprising, but after a disappointing season it would be selling low on a player who has been very good in this league and has cost certainty for four more seasons."
