Flyers Turned Down Keith Yandle for JVR

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

 
General manager Paul Holmgren turned down a trade that would've sent van Riemsdyk to the Phoenix Coyotes for defenseman Keith Yandle a few hours before pulling the trigger on Schenn-JVR, according to CSN Philly's Tim Panaccio. Discussions between the two teams were reported at the time, but this is the first time we've seen it in such uncertain terms: the Flyers could've had Yandle, and said no thanks.

Oh the irony.
 
It's also funny that Snider/Holmgren might be a more dysfunctional management tandem than Pegula/Regier were, yet they both still have jobs.
