In need of a power forward, is Dustin Penner a legitimate option for the Flyers?

Dustin Penner isn't a viable option for any NHL team. Is this a pay-per-hit article?
And why is that? He had 1 less point than Benoit Pouliot this season, and outscored both Lee Stempniak and Marcel Goc, two of Pittsburgh's trade deadline acquisitions. I understand he has some mileage on him, but for the right price, he's a viable option for a lot of teams.
Penner would be better if he signed in Boston. Would have to be cheap, much like everywhere else.

Dustin Penner is a band-aid boy. 32 of his 35 points came when he was in Anaheim and furthermore, 27/32 came when he was playing with Getzlaf and Perry.
He can't stay healthy for a full season, he's out of shape, he's lazy and he coat tails higher skilled players.
I digress.
If Dustin Penner can be had on a one-year, $1.5M contract then he can be considered a viable "option", but by no means does he fix any problems or fill any holes on a team.
He always comes with a higher price tag than he deserves. He'll get paid again this summer but his team will soon regret the decision.

He certainly has had his up's and down's, I won't disagree with that. But that's exactly what I'm alluding to, as far as a one-year deal goes. And whether he flourishes more in other places, I seem to think he'd fit in perfectly in Philly's scheme. He's basically a more gifted Steve Downie.

I think he was well worth the $2 million Anaheim gave him. That's not exactly a cap-restricting contract, even if they did unload him for "cap reasons."
