Yesterday the hockey world was surprised by the news that the Philadelphia Flyers will consider offers for almost all their players. Could Don Waddell could make some serious moves to help the Carolina Hurricanes make the playoffs?

When Sam Carchidi tweeted that Philadelphia Flyers General Manager would consider offers for all of his roster except for Claude Giroux, NHL Twitter went into a feeding frenzy of speculation. Could Sean Couturier really be on the block? Could teams snaffle Nolan Patrick? We thought we’d look at some more realistic options for Carolina Hurricanes GM Don Waddell to pursue, and whether the Flyers would, in truth, consider moving those players.

Using a baseline of untouchables for the Carolina Hurricanes of Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen, Jaccob Slavin, Nino Niederreiter, Andrei Svechnikov, Martin Necas and Jordan Staal (NMC), we put all of the other Canes players, prospects and picks into the mix in our potential trade scenarios with the Flyers.

Let us know in the comments whether you would like any of these hypothetical deals, and whether or not the Flyers would even entertain the notion of trading some of their core players.
