A very interesting rumor picking up speed today...
The Flyers are very interested in Matias Ekholm and I am hearing the high-ups are pushing for a big deal to try and separate the Flyers from the rest of the pack in the division...
The Predators are going to get a #1 pick plus for Ekholm....and perhaps the best offer the Preds will see will be the Flyers first-round pick PLUS Nolan Patrick, for Ekholm. One source tells me there is a chance the Flyers would also offer a conditional 3rd rounder, that would become a second-round pick is Patrick is out for more than half next season due to injuries.
More to come...
