Philly accepts

I wouldn't. TDL means overpaying; and this is NOT overpaying.
JVR is just a rental, and Philly can afford to retain, so that makes JVR more desirable.

Coupling JVR and Braun would be a big mistake....though I wouldn't put it past Fletcher to F it up.

Yeah im not interested at all in helping the flyers. We’ll keep those picks

We're using up all our cap space down the stretch on those two? Why? I don't think that will be Waddell's strategy. Just my guess.

I can see JvR being useful but I am unsure anyone can look at Braun with 0 points in 34 games and thinks they need to go out and get that guy, especially with his sporadic playtime on a subpar defense.

this is an odd justification. you are forgetting that overpaying requires a bunch of interest from other teams. These two players wont generate a lot of interest, retained or not.
