Description
Most will say that Carlo is untouchable, however, he is your best chip to land a true 1C this summer. I think we could see major change like this in the result of another short playoff. The reason for the bridge year was to see what you had in the cupboard and plan for the future. This lineup is a result of both. Philly fans will want to ride with Ersson, but I think grooming him behind a true #1 would be wise for a franchise that has been begging for decent goaltending. Montour, to me, is an intriguing option; I think Zito let’s both Montour and Reinhart walk. Mixed feelings on Bertuzzi, however, the chemistry with Zacha and Pastrnak is there (should Monty need to juggle up the lines like we know he does). I’m sure this will get a TON of negative feedback but fans would tune in every night to watch this roster.

NYI aren't really in a position to sell their best player for futures with basically every player on their team with a long term contract being 30+

I would agree. But I think this makes Pulock (higher cap than Carlo) expendable for forward help, and the possibility to flip the picks if need be.

I like this concept, although I dont know if NYI will move barzy as they are remaining competitive. I also think ullmark may stop a trade to philly if he stopped one to LA

Very true on both points. I love a team that values hugs over business lol. Help me.

I just couldn't hate this concept any more, and not because of my username. Carlo should be available in the right move.

Is this it though? I don't think it's close. You're moving the teams best non NHL prospect, two firsts (for a team that hasn't been drafting in the first round much) and Carlo for a guy that frankly just isn't a fit? god no. Barzal has averaged 73 points per 82 games over his career, and I don't like his two way game. Honestly, I think he really should be a winger. Overpaid, bad culture fit, heck of a player, but don't change the DNA for that.

ultimately, why would you change the DNA of this team. they're in a transition year and are second in the league. it's just a bad concept.
