And just when we thought any chance of Steven Stamkos coming to the Flyers was relinquished, this happens. Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that an NHL source said the Flyers will send the Tampa Bay Lightning a trade package in the event they can't re-sign Stamkos:

Well, it's still highly doubtful, but an NHL source told The Inquirer that the Flyers will put a trade offer together for the Tampa Bay superstar if the Lightning feel they cannot sign him.

It's likely Tampa would be interested in Brayden Schenn and Sergei Bobrovsky -- among others -- and high draft picks.
