Flyers out on Nash, in on Parise and Suter
TheFourthPeriod.com

Philadelphia and Columbus engaged in trade talks involving Rick Nash over the weekend, but Flyers GM Paul Holmgren refused to part with young assets Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier to get the top-scorer.

Now, TSN Insider Darren Dreger reports that the Flyers have turned their full attention to free agents forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter, submitting significant bids to both players at the start of free agency on Sunday.

Both free agents have a long list of suitors, and it appears that archrivals Pittsburgh Penguins are a frontrunner to snatch Parise off the market. Penguins star Sidney Crosby is close friends with Parise, and reportedly contacted the winger himself to discuss a future in Pittsburgh.

As for Suter, the star blueliner is reportedly looking to stay in the Western Conference, and he is considered somewhat of a long shot for the Flyers.

However, Holmgren is said to have presented multiple-year, mega-buck offers to both players on Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the team could also look to trade for Bobby Ryan of the Anaheim Ducks, if they are not asking for too many of the Flyers' priced possessions like their young talented players.
