If you dont want picks getting propects would work too.
Next Year lineup should look similar too
Hartnell-Giroux-Vorachek
Read-Schenn-Simmonds
xxx-Couts-xxx
Talbot-Laughton-Rinaldo
McGinn
Kimmo-Schenn
Coburn-Grossman
xxx-xxx
Gervais
Bryz

Assuming you have a million dollar backup that roster is only going to cost. Roughly 48-49 million. You would essentially have 15 million in cap space to fill 4 roster spots. You would have the assets acquired in the Mez and Briere deals. All you would have to do is make sure you dont overspend so you are able to retain Schenn, Couts, Giroux and Reader the following year. But next year the Flyers can really go for it, if they fall short you still have your buyouts which you can axe Bryz and free up more cap room and try to reshape the team.

This.
Trade Briere/Timonen and Meszaros + for a proven first pairing defenseman who can eat minutes and moves the puck well. The question is just how big the '+' will have to be...
