Won't Trade the First?

So it seems the basic assumption is that the Flyers won't go without a first round pick next year just because the draft is in Philly.

 

I completely, absolutely agree with this, but it seems an absurd statement to make when you think about it. If there was a deal in the offing that almost definitely improve the team's long term chances, do you not do the deal just so you can make a first round pick in front of whatever fans show up for it?

 

If, indeed, Flyers management is factoring in such things - and, again, I absolutely believe they are - that's ridiculous.

 

In other news, they will deny this at every opportunity.

 

And then do it anyway.

 

They have no interest in Comrie.

One thing that is as certain as anything is Homer will throw in a 2nd round pick with any deal that goes down. This team is not going anywhere so might as well hold onto picks... Which means he will trade a first and second rounder for a has been....

More of the same I am afraid.

I think they will over value their first, but when Homer is involved, anyone and anything is tradeable.
