No team that finishes in the bottom 10 the previous year will ever trade their unprotected 1st the following year, ever again. You have to find a team that was good previously and is confident they'll be good again, only to have a disaster season. (Habs hoping Florida has this) That's the only way you'll luck into a high end pick again. The past two times it happened both those teams were coming off solid playoff runs. (Ott & SJ) Philly not only hasn't been good lately, they're practically destined for a low finish again with all the injuries they have. Not even Fletcher is dumb enough to do this.
That is all besides the point that Dvorak and Struble doesn't even get you a protected 1st along with JVR. Philly no longer needs to shed cap. They have Ellis and now Couturier on LTIR. They need to ADD cap, not cut it. (If they want to maximize the LTIR relief as to be good this year)
