This trade in my mind would be dependent on how Waddell views where the team should be next year. If he thinks they can/will be close to the playoffs with better coaching and a couple additions, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a trade like this made, using the extra pieces to acquire further veteran help.
If the Flyers do up the offer (Briere often seems a bit desperate to shake things up), I would lean towards taking it as long as the roster player is of some level of interest and Demidov is off the board. We could grab Helenius and move the 2025 1st in a package for a roster upgrade. Or keep the Flyers pick if it’s unprotected. I expect them to be worse next year.
Of course, I’m also extremely happy to stand pat and grab one of Demidov/Lindstrom.
