Dispelling Flyers Trade Deadline Rumors

There are many rumors flying around Philadelphia these days. Often though these rumors are not actually started by the Flyers own moves. They range from being able to steal players and prospects from the Flyers for almost nothing to the ever popular inability for the Flyers to be players at the trade deadline due to salary cap restrictions. The vast majority of them happen to be false. The Flyers pride themselves on making deadline moves to put their team in a better position to win the Stanley Cup. History actually shows that teams that make some kind of move perform better in the playoffs than teams that don’t so to believe on of the best GMs in the league, Paul Holmgren, will not get involved is hoping or a lot.
