Description

So we all know Philly's defence has been their biggest problem this season, and a lot of defencemen have already been mentioned on here (i.e. Ekholm, Schmidt, Manson, Hamilton, etc.). I wonder what each of you think of a deal like this? I just saw a post where SJ is looking to sell guys with long-term contracts to try and start the rebuild. Using that knowledge, this is what I came up with to put a spin on things.

In regards to Seattle, I haven't made a post in a while because obviously adding a defenceman prior to the offseason means we either lose the defenceman we add, or one of Provorov, Sanheim, or Myers. That said, let's assume Chuck goes the route of bribing Seattle to take a player that PHI would want them to take, and pay them off with pick(s). Just for this scenario, to assume we don't lose anyone in the top 4.

I kinda like it.

Philly is missing Niskanen's vet presene (Braun just isn't it lol). Burns can still play 20 effective minutes a game, and with Philly's talent, I suspect Burns just might look like Burns again. I just see how it can stablize the back end.

The Sharks have to entertain it - just flat out it gets them out of the contract.

My exact thoughts. I love Braun though, but yes he isn't the go-to veteran presence that is still quick and logs large minutes. I'm just not sure if this proposal is legitimate, as I have no idea how the Sharks value Burns right now.

How do you resign anyone next off season?

Maybe Ghost is in the package??? $4.5 million for 3rd pairing minutes is pricey. Maybe a change of scenery he finds his game.

For starters, MacDonald and Schlemko come off the books for $2.5mil. The big one would be unloading a contract at the expansion draft, assuming Seattle does so. I can see the Flyers not protecting either Voracek or JvR to keep their young guys and clear cap a bit. If so, that's an additional 7-8.25mil that comes off as well, giving Chuck roughly $10mil to resign Hart (who isn't having a good year), Sanheim, Laughton, Patrick and Raffl.

Not saying it'll happen, but could happen if it all played out well.
