Description

The lines are when Coots and Myers are able to return.

Some will say it isn't enough for Dubois and Savard, but Savard only has the rest of the year remaining and Dubois trade value dwindles with every minute Torts keeps him on the bench.

Others may say I gave too much because Linblom is a favorite of Flyers fans and Frost looks like he could be a really good playmaker on offense.

I feel like this seems rather fair. Dubois can play LW or if you want to get weird play Patrick at RW. JVR might be fooling us early, but he looks pretty good this season thus far. Hopefully he plays his way into an expansion pick. If not I hope he at least plays his way until a point where we don't need to trade a 1st to dump him. JVR has to be the one to go this offseason. If you must leave him and Voracek unprotected. I know that sounds crazy. Voracek is a good presence in the locker room and he still is making plays (although he can be incredibly frustrating at times). Unprotecting both may ensure we get to dump one of those contracts to free up space not only for Carter Hart and Sanheim, but for Dubois, G, and Coots in 2 years.

Fletcher can get creative, but this might be a good fix for not only this year but moving forward. Although fans are attached to Linblom, Dubois gives us even more Center depth if we need it, and he can move to Left Wing and give us an enhanced version of what Linblom can. Linblom will be loved by Torts also I could only assume.

Savard isn't a top pairing D, but he could balance out the loss of Myers momentarily, and when Myers returns he'd continue to give Philly a good defensive presence. Flyers can't continue to let people get in on Cart Hart anymore. Savard won't let that go down.

AV can play around with that 3rd pair subbing in out depending on matchups.

This is a drastic overpay.

I do believe the Flyers are giving up a lot, but you have to give a lot to get good players. This year's draft isn't the best so the 1st rounder isnt' a huge deal imo.

I look at it as if Linblom, Frost, 1st for Dubois. Ghost, Nak and a 3rd for Savard w/ some value of the 1st rounder carrying over to the Savard part of the trade. I hope that makes sense, but like I said you are right it is a huge risk to pay this, but I think Dubois could prosper with better talent around him. I'm definitely open to keeping Frost and substituting another prospect in his place. I'm not married to this package, just like the idea because it takes bold decisions to get over that hump. Ideally, I would trade this package for a top tier Defenseman, but then the Flyers would have to expose Myers in expansion. Any defenseman trade won't come until next year.
