Toronto Maple Leafs sent scouts to both Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms games this Saturday.
James Van Riemsdyk was selected #2 overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers. After just three seasons in the city of brotherly love, he was dealt to Toronto for defenseman Luke Schenn; Schenn didn’t live up to expectations in Philadelphia and was also dealt after four seasons.
Why the Philadelphia Flyers want to Re-aquire James Van Riemsdyk.
The Philadelphia Flyers are in need of top six forwards. Philadelphia ranks 19th in goals for this season and has struggled to score 5V5.
