A truly excellent, well-reasoned, well-expressed and well-explained reply to my response; for brevity, I've omitted the stuff that's 100% sound and thus doesn't require further comment.

By my statement that "Konecny isn't 'a top-20 RW in the league in his 20's,' he's a rental," I meant that the principal characterization of him should recognize his contract status instead of his quality, just as when discussing Mitch Marner, his rental status and AAV dwarf the importance of his on-ice performance. You are absolutely correct in factually noting that Konecny is one of the top-20 RWs in the league and I don't dispute his talent at all.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div><strong>I mean, the package is a top-20 RW in the league in his 20's</strong>, a top-10 drafted RHD prospect in the league and a (as of today) 25 year old 40-50 point Center with solid defensive results. I can understand if Anaheim just flatly won't trade him, but this is a better package than even Eichel got</div></div>
Once again, an utter failure to appreciate the value of term. Konecny isn't "a top-20 RW in the league in his 20's," he's a rental. Two Junes from now, we could offer him a reasonable deal and Konecny could decide to take the very same compensation somewhere else because he'd prefer to play for that team, and we'd have nothing but one season of him. Bonk is indeed a nice prospect and I've accepted him in other Flyer offers for Zegras, but Frost seems an odd inclusion if you're trying to "solve [Philly's] issues down the middle." (By the way, Anaheim's plan is to use Zegras at LW from now on, deploying him in the center only when required by injury.)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DumbHockeyTrades</b></div><div>thats an overpay lmao, Zegras isnt god</div></div>
Our ask is Foerster and the Philly first, not Foerster in place of Frost in the offer presented here.
