Carter will actually be a RFA at the end of his deal. I'm not really arguing one way or the other, but I do agree that the Flyers wouldn't trade Carter and JVR for just one year of Luongo. It doesn't make sense in cap world, especially when you consider we have more holes to fill than just goaltending. We have a young core, and we won't trade away significant pieces of that core unless we get some longterm assistance. The Flyers aren't in a "go for it now before the window closes" mode.
But make no mistake, the Flyers would be very interested if they thought Luongo wanted to make a longterm commitment to Philadelphia.
