Description

Would be a little bit of wishful thinking here for B's fans if they still want to be cup favorites. Otherwise it's also going to make them worry about their future. This whole site is all hypothetical anyway and it would be fun to think about something like this happening. Nashville and Philly will most likely have to sell anyway whether they do it or not though, that's up to them. Vegas has been rumoured to be in trade talks with Boston over Marchessault anyway. Kane said he wanted to play for a contender and this team would be it and this could work if he signs a contract similar to Krejci and Bergeron's in last year's Free Agency.

If you think the Flyers are going to retain $28M on Coots and give you a 1C, I suggest you add 5 or 6 more 1st round picks to the trade going to the flyers lol.

A) You think execs want him in philly when they're not contenders

B) He's signed till he's 37 and they have to pay him more than 53 million over the next 7 years

C) he scored 58 pts in the last 2 seasons with a -10 rating. Not good.

D) injury troubles

E) they're lucky they'd even get one 1st for all that, he's a cap dump at nearly 8 million at his age with that term and he's not performing and gets injured

Your B reason is why we would NEVER do that trade. We don’t want to carry half of his salary till 2037. We want to see what he how he recovers from his injury for a couple years and then potentially trade him for MORE without retained salary.

Danny Briere and Couts were best friends on and off the ice. I would bet Danny B wouldn’t trade one of his roommates.

Please point to me a time in NHL history where someone agreed to retain $28M on a player over 8 years. Ur a Penguins fan so I get ur biased against the Flyers but if you can’t see why this deal is impossible then you should probably do some more research on how trades work in the league. Also if he is a cap dump, why is he a 1C on this team? Never heard of a 1C being cap dumped before either. Looks like you would be able to set multiple NHL precedents, you should be a GM!
