To clarify the earlier posting, here's the finalized trade:
Buffalo accepts. Philly has accepted via message.
I've also sent this trade on Fantrax for acceptance by PHI...
Buffalo receives:
Patrick Kane David Backes Kevin Connauton Philly 2nd round (2013) Philly 3rd round (2014)
Philadelphia receives:
Jordan Eberle Brayden Schenn Andrej Sustr Ottawa 4th round pick (2013) BOS 1st round pick (2014)
Buffalo makes this trade in order to get a top center in Backes for FOW, plus he contributes across all categories that we play. I wish we had hits, though! Kane is obviously a big piece to the trade, as well...I get P. Kane and he's got great scoring already, and I don't think he's reached his ceiling yet.
It's tough to trade Eberle and Schenn. I've had GMs after those two for the entire year and there have been some GREAT GREAT GREAT offers, but I think I got two great pieces to add to my team. Short-term I think I might come out ahead, long-term, I'm not so sure....but I'm in a "win-now" mode.
I really like this trade for both teams. Good trade Philly. Went fairly quickly when I didn't have to juggle work around trade discussions.
Philly to confirm.

Philly's POST from previous trade, but applies here....Philly to officially confirm shortly.
Philadelphia Flyers are pleased to accept this trade, and mark it as my first one in this league BUT not my last.
I have traded Kane and Backes as my top players because I would like to build my own team to how I would like it to look, and not run with a team that another manager has drafted or tried already. I believe with a few adjustments and building strategies that I have I can build a good young team moving forward for the future. I have added Eberle who plays great with Hall and is on a team that eventually will do great things, and I have very high expectations for him going forward. Brayden Schenn will be a maniac in the future as well, I can see him following the footsteps of Hartnell, a heart player that does it all. I like both of these players and their determination and think it will pay off for me in the near future, or so I hope. I know Kane is young and has incredible talent but I think another couple years and he'll slow down, or start drinking again haha.
I have also acquired a 1st round conditional pick where I hope I can get a high pick out of it, possibly 1st overall (McDavid???), but either way a top pick should go a long way for my build. This could go either way, but I feel I made a good move here, glad to get my first trade behind me, and thanks again BUF!!!!
