Cases Against:

Wealth of replacements

Tightness of Salary Cap

If you recall Powe was a restrict free agent last years as well. The Flyers worked a deal for $725,700. There are two thing iI look at that could stop them from doing that again this summer.
1) Powe's one year deal was to see if he would develop further.
2) Powe will seek a bigger paycheck.

The easiest option is to try to get Powe on another one year deal. At that point his and Betts's contracts will expire at the same time and the Flyers can make a complete decision on to where to go and who with on that 4th line.

If re-signed, Powe would fit nicely aside either Giroux and Van Riemsdyk or Richards and Versteeg/Carter. He may have to due to the free agents.

Flyers Combos As of Now
Hartnell -- Briere -- Leino(UFA)
van Riemsdyk -- Giroux -- Carter
Zherdev(UFA) -- Richards -- Versteeg
Powe(RFA) -- Betts -- Carcillo(RFA)
