Hextall: Flyers could add a forward
Now that he has about $4.1 million in salary-cap space and his team is in the playoff hunt, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall is not ruling out adding a forward before the Feb. 29 trade deadline.
“If we can improve our team in any way without mortgaging the future, we’ll look at it,” Hextall said Thursday. “I mean, if young players can make us better, of course we’ll look at it.”

Flyers GM Ron Hextall hinted there was a trade possibility. Gagner, who has not played an NHL game since Nov. 23, recognizes the need to get on the ice, no matter what the level. It might take time, but he’ll get a shot somewhere. Teams need scoring, and he can provide it.

Nobody wants MacDonald. Schenn won’t get you much either
If I'm Hextall, I'm shopping Streit. He's 37. Not going to be a part of the future. Nobody wants MacDonald. Schenn won't get you much either

Players that the Flyers could be looking to move
It’s no secret that Hextall has been actively shopping Coburn all season, but the GM has yet to find a suitor for the 29-year-old. MacDonald, Grossmann and Schenn are also chips who could be had for the right price.
