Flyers now can pursue Byfuglien...but they will have company.

Quick update here...

I am hearing the Flyers are most definitely not done dealing, but as Hextall has said many times they aren't making any trades for rentals...and while Byfuglien is a UFA at the end of the year the Flyers have money set aside for such a player.

I really can't stress enough how this team has missed the presence of Chris Pronger and while that was not while Hextall was not part of the "angry-giant defenseman" regime he is "all about bringing that back to the Metro division."

It would take one of the Flyers prospects NOT named Provorov and a prospect forward not named Konecny....but there are some very strong players the Flyers could put in play to get and then immediately re-sign Dustin.

The Flyers biggest competition will come from Florida (Dale Tallon loves Buff from his days in Chicago) and Boston... Neither team may have the defensive prospect needed however...

More to come this evening.
