Could see OTT giving up one of Grieg or Pinto, but not both.

Even while it answers their 2 key points of need? They still keep their nucleus up top and this improves them drastically immediately.

I mean there were some reports that suggested that they dropped out of Fiala sweepstakes since they weren't willing to pay him the sum LA was willing to...and DeBrincat is going to cost at least $9M in the future, likely more than that. Also I don't think Murphy is anything amazing really, even though there's a fit.

The cost is so hefty though - to me it seems like the cons outweigh the pros.

Valid explanation. I feel Philly is a likelier landing spot but always interested to see what other fanbases see on proposals.

Flyers definitely shouldn't do it given that they suck and should rebuild, but that doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
