Obviously a long shot but tell me what you guys think (especially OTT and PHI fans)

Given that Bobby Ryan won't resign, here's my take on what OTT should do.

PHI: Claude Giroux
OTT: Bobby Ryan, 2015 1st, 2016 2nd (becomes a 1st if Ryan resigns with Philly) Eric Gryba, DAL's 2015 2nd round pick

PHI lineup
Simmonds - Voracek - Ryan
B. Schenn - Couturier - Read
Umberger - Lecavalier - Raffl
Rinaldo - Hall - Akeson

MacDonald - Streit
Coburn - Schenn
Del Zotto - Grossmann

Mason, Emery

OTT line up

Michalek - Giroux - Lazar
MacArthur - Turris - Chiasson
Stone - Zibanejad - Legwand
Greening - Smith - Neil

Karlsson - Methot
Cowen - Wiercioch
Phillips - Ceci/borocop

Anderson, Lehner

Beyond a long shot.

I know Giroux is great but it seems like a lot. Ryan is pretty good too! Ryan resigning would be key to the deal. B. Schenn will be a center if one is moved. Maybe I'm wrong but I've never seen Voracek play center. I think Schenn could be #1 center and move Simmonds to the 2nd line. Read plays both wings

1. Flyers would never ever trade Giroux.
But besides from that:
2. Wheres the logic, that the 2nd that OTT gives to PHI turns into a 1st if Ryan resigns in PHI?
Normally a pick gets downgraded if a player resigns, or upgraded if he doesn't resign

Even though Giroux is obviously an improvement at Centre, Turris is our number 1 man. His chemistry with MacArthur and Ryan was great last year. We don't need another Centre, we need a top 6 winger, so why would we give that up by trading Ryan? We still have a full season to sign him, and if we can't, a deadline move can be easily arranged.

@BOOBIES
#1 Giroux is a flyer for life
#2 Jakub Vorack plays right wing
#3 b.Schenn plays center
#4 if flyers get gryba where is he
#5 Adam Hall is in Europe
#6 Coburn and schenn are 2 big defensemen that would never play together
#7 Rinaldo plays right wing
#8 Akeson plays left wing
#9 The flyers get seriously ripped off if ryan doesn't resign
#10 Does Ottawa/Philly have the long term cap flexibility

Just to the people that were saying the flyers won't ever trade Giroux, they tried to send him to Vancouver for Ryan Kesler at the trade deadline this year.

^Thats literally the silliest thing I've ever heard.
He's their captain and main man and they won't trade him.
Apart from that: That sounds like Philly offered a package of Giroux + for Kesler, which is probably the most absurd thing I've ever read.
Kesler is good, no question, but Giroux is in a whole other dimension.
