Description

Haven't seen many Frost trades as of late, so I'm not sure if he's settled in more or what the deal is at the moment. I threw in a trade but am pretty unsure of value and availability, so mostly fishing for some info/feedback here.

Logic for Philly:

I know the Flyers have some good d prospects (e.g., Andrae and Bonk), but still feel Behrens would be a nice acquisition for them. He plays a complete game and should be ready for the NHL soon (some time next year in my estimation). Only three defensemen that are on the current roster appear to be long term Flyers, so another addition seems like a good idea.

Johansen gives them a veteran pivot who I think will fit there better than in Colorado. He can ensure they are still competitive and strong down the middle.

The pick speaks for itself. Maybe bump it up to the 2025 2nd?

Add the '26 3rd if it can get us one of Seeler or Walker as well. JJ as a regular D is worrying.

Honestly as a flyers fan I'd be good with that Frost trade, especially if he gets scratched when Cates comes back, I'm not really sure if the flyers actually will end up trading him but if they do this is around what I'd expect back, probably would want the 2nd since it'll most likely be late

I think Walker would cost more, and I'm not sure Seeler is a better option than Jones or Malinski. Not a bad idea though.

I think the bit of extra toughness with Seeler maybe is worth it and yes Walker seems to be rated around a 2nd-3rd on here so that was more wishful thinking.

I'm not familiar with Behrens but the overall trade isn't too bad. Briere is going to be looking for 1st round value. Johansen is the one hang up here, I could be wrong but I think he and Torts do not get along. I know Johansen was traded within 6 months of Torts being hired in Columbus.
