1.) I love Morgan Reilly, I really think that he would be able to mesh well with any defenseman on the Flyers, however, I am opposed to trading young defensemen for established young players.
2.) Phil Myers might be the second best defensemen within the Flyers system (behind Ivan). Sanheim is arguably the 3rd in offense, but behind Sam Morin in defensive skill.
3.) JVR was a skilled player, but with no terms really left on his contact, and the Flyers not a contending team with his addition, I don't see the point in adding him.
4.) Trading he 2nd overall out of the lottery for a AMAC dump and prospect trading for an established young defenseman isn't the plan of GM Ron Hextall
His theory is that you wait as long as you can with the prospects, cashing in the chips when they are on your team, rather than cashing out early when you could have ended up with more money, had they stayed with your team for three more years.
