Flyers likely to move a defenseman
Flyers would like to sign Horton
I am told that Flyers would love to get their hands on N. Horton but the word is, he has a couple clubs in mind, and it's not them

Flyers targetting Thomas
DREGER: LECAVALIER TO SIGN FIVE-YEAR, $22.5M DEAL WITH FLYERS
According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, veteran forward Vincent Lecavalier has agreed to sign a five-year, $22.5 million deal with the Philadelphia Flyers.
The deal will also include a full no-movement clause.
Sources: Finding goalie still Flyers’ primary focus
Finding another goalie remains Holmgren’s primary focus with several side issues.
“He’s made it known he’d like a goalie with no years or one-year left where they can get a read on that player before committing,” a source said.
Source: Flyers interested in Jaroslav Halak
The Flyers’ goalie vacancy has taken yet another twist with a name not previously in the mix.
According to an NHL source here at this weekend’s NHL draft, the Flyers have made some inquires with St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong about the availability of Jaroslav Halak, who lost the starter’s job to Brian Elliott this past season.
Sens and Ducks talking to the Ducks about Ryan
The Senators aren’t alone in their pursuit, but they may be one of the few teams with the assets to make a deal happen. The talk is the Ducks would like to get a defencemen in return if they are going to move Ryan.
“He’s the guy everybody wants,” said a league executive Thursday.
Are the Edmonton Oilers interested in Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Braydon Coburn?
First, Coburn is a good fit for Edmonton’s needs. He has size (6’5″, 220 pounds), a physical game, skates well, and has some ability to move the puck. He’s primarily a defensive defenceman and plays on both sides of the ice but has a left-handed shot. It’s a mixture that – particularly with a weak free agent crop – the Oilers are going to have trouble finding.
Five Flyers goalie options, post-Bryzgalov
You all know the news by now — the Philadelphia Flyers will use a compliance buyout on goalie Ilya Bryzgalov.
It could be that management already has a plan in place to address the starting goaltending for next season, so don’t be surprised if there’s more to this story soon.
But here are five potential options, for discussion’s sake:
TSN.ca – The Philadelphia Flyers to buyout Ilya Bryzgalov
The Philadelphia Flyers are parting ways with goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov after just two seasons. The club used the second of their two compliance buyout options on Tuesday to buy out the Russian netminder.

Could the Flyers and Blues swing a deal?
Flyers were involved in trade talks prior to offer sheeting Shea Weber. I think things could heat up with St. Louis this summer.

Danny Briere knows he’s likely facing a buyout
Briere “pushed” things today at the morning skate, he said, and needs to see how he’s feeling on Friday. If he has no symptoms – he hasn’t had any for about four days – then he’ll play Saturday in Buffalo.
Briere is likely down to his final eight games as a Flyer. He’s an obvious option for an amnesty buyout this summer with two years left on his deal at a team-high $6.5 million cap hit.
Flyers looking and Yandle?
Flyers have interest in Keith Yandle but doubt that’s do-able today… Coyotes not looking to move him, would have to be huge offer…
