I don't see the incentive for Philly to do this. Konency is the better all around player and on the better contract. Plus Konency's game fits their play style and culture better than Nylander does. The Philly media would eat Nylander alive for not playing physical or defence.

Flyers decline.

I don't disagree with any of that, you're right on, but I was thinking of Nylander as more of a playmaker winger (with the emergence of Farabee), than Koneckny, more of a scorer.

He's eaten alive in Toronto, which possibly could be worse than Philly.
I've always like the look of the Nylander for Konecny flip, but donlt think it will ever happen.

He's tore apart by Toronto media for different reasons though. It's not a culture thing there, they just expect every player to be perfect. Philly's media is something else, and they seem to go at guys that don't fit the broad street bullies theme.

I do agree a flip isn't likely to happen mainly cause I don't see Philly giving up Konency who's a younger version of Marchand. Something I've suggested before that makes sense still is Nylander for Patrick, Lindblom, and a 1st. Toronto needs two way centres and Patrick could be a great fit if he stays healthy, he might not see top 6 time in Philly at centre with their depth there.
