    when you look at stats, it will take some talent, but not the kitchen sink.

    i could see it being JVR and a draft pick or two.

    Ryan's cap hit wouldn't kill us either if we moved JVR in the deal. I think it's right around 5 per year.

    Its going to take a ton to get Ryan.

    He has scored over 30 goals 4 seasons in a row and is 25 years old. He is gritty and is a menace for opposing teams. JVR seems to fit in just a secondary scoring role.

    While JVR has some promise, he is nowhere near Bobby Ryan, even at 2 years ago.

    Philly only has 2 of the first 100 picks I believe, and like 4 of the first 200. They donked off a lot of their picks to get Kubina, Grossman, etc. Even if they wanted to move picks, this isnt being regarded as a very good draft. They could trade 2013 picks, but i dont see Anaheim trading Ryan for players possibly 4 years from the NHL.

    Anaheim is also just 'open to trading' Ryan... which is more like give them an offer to make them want to trade Ryan. Decent forward, young defenseman, top prospect, and a 1st or 2nd rounder type of package. With multiple teams in on it, and Anaheim in a position of not having to make a move at all...

    I believe they leaked that information to try to capitalize on the Nash 'losing bidders'. To see what they can get.

    So how do you Flyer fans feel about Rob Zombie making a movie about the Broad Street Bullies? Cause apparently it's in the beginning stages:

    I don't see Philly going for Ryan personally even thought he is a great player I don't think he is worth the players that the ducks would want for him.

    I just have a feeling that we rae really going to push for Nash and I heard another report last night suggested that the Flyers are really pushing for him.

    It would be interesting (even thought I don't think we need Nash) to see Nash play with Claude. it would be very interesting. If I am the Flyers i wait to see how Nashville plays this year and try to trade for Weber.

    Rumor I heard this morning was JVR, Couturier, Boborovski, and their 1st for Nash.

    with that kind of package, I would have to think Columbus would be sending a Defenseman the other way as well... but with what they were rumored to be asking previously, this may not be too surprising.

    The only person Couturier should be traded for is Weber. Keep the youth.

    Jesus. I don't know about all that. Take Couturier out of that package, or that's highway robbery.

    the only person I would not be willing to let go would be Couturier. If they want a young player I would offer Matt Read while I do really like him.

    G,Scheen and Couts would be the only 3 not available imo. After that everyone can be had at the right price.

    Rumblings: Flyers interested in Bobby Ryan
    June, 21, 2012 Jun 21 4:42 PM ET
    PITTSBURGH -- Bobby Ryan’s name has resurfaced in trade talks and one team that has some interest is the Philadelphia Flyers. This is nothing new. They’ve like the player for a long time.

    The Anaheim Ducks aren’t shopping Ryan as much as teams are calling on him, circling back to them after he was out there for a while last November.

    Ryan could be a good Plan B for the Flyers if they don’t get anywhere on Rick Nash.

    Any deal with the Flyers from the Ducks’ perspective would have to center around Brayden Schenn, a source told ESPN.com Thursday, as Anaheim is desperate to find an upgrade at the No. 2 center position. My sense is that the Flyers have very little interest in moving Schenn. They view him as way too valuable to do that. Winger James van Riemsdyk is the player more likely to move out of Philadelphia if the Flyers make any splash over the next few weeks.
