Description
The Vegas Golden Knights have reminded the league how important roster depth truly is in the NHL. In this lineup we have a 3rd line with a lot of offensive talent that would benefit from some sheltered minutes, and a 4th line that can take tough minutes and still muster something like 50 goals over the season at even strength. Is that enough for the Flyers to make a decent post-season run while the prospects continue to develop?

    Now I'm worried I gave up too much! Haha, good deal though. I heard a lot of you guys were frustrated with Spezza's down year. Fair to sell on him. He is older and back issues are legit. Reminds me of Lecavalier, but I can see the Flyers taking this sort of low risk gamble on a one year rental while prospects continue to develop in the minors.

    Hopefully the cap room does a lot of good for your club. smile

    On a few AGM teams, I had Spezza moving for a second rounder. Dallas loses on talent but gains on cap space. But if Dallas wants Elliott, that works too.

    I actually posted a very similar deal about an hour ago. It's under the title "Minor...ish trade with PHI and a small trade with DET".

    I love the deal as a Stars fan, but realistically, I don't see Philadelphia taking Spezza without Dallas retaining half of his contract. Even most (intelligent) Stars fans realize that in order to move Spezza, the Stars will have to eat half of his $7.5M deal. I do believe that Philly is the most realistic trade destination for him, and I do think that a goalie is the likely return. I'm not familiar enough with Philadelphia to say whether Elliott or Neuvirth is the more likely trade candidate (though Neuvirth had a phenomenal game tonight). I'd be surprised if Dallas got anything other than a goalie in return, and I honestly think Dallas is going to have to give up a late round pick & a mid-level prospect in order to sweeten the deal for Philly. Even at $3.75M, Spezza is still expensive for a 3C.

    But I mean, if Philly wants the full $7.5M, who am I to say no? Haha

    That's really no issue for Philly for 2018-19. The RFAs start coming due the following season., so the Flyers likely don't want to commit big money and term to a free agent center. However, a big 1 year deal via trade with some added value in draft picks coming back is just icing on the cake.

    Yes, saw yours and posted mine. I had been drafting this through the week and figured if a Dallas fan was thinking the same thing, maybe I'm not so crazy. I'm not sure what fair compensation is in the minds of NHL GM's but I think we both have identified the essence of a sensible classic hockey trade here.
