Team: 2017-18 Philadelphia Flyers

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 11, 2018

Published: Feb. 11, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

This team's biggest problems are Penalty Kill, Defense, and Secondary Scoring in that order. PK will get better with defensive upgrades and parting ways with Ian Laperiere as PK coach. Defense could be improved with some of the talent in Lehigh Valley and a different mix of veterans. And secondary scoring is starting to come around on it's own but wouldn't be hurt by an infusion of youth.

Honest question here. What is Tanev's trade value? I have seen him on here traded for multiple firsts (Canuck fans obviously) and I have seen him go for a 3rd and a middling prospect. I think Gudas and Hagg are an overpayment but adding Virtanen might tip it to far the other way even with the two forward prospects added. I would be alright adding a pick or prospect as long as it isn't a 1st rounder or one of the blue chip prospects.

Obviously that didn't work so how about this for Tanev alone.

Also MacDonald is promoted the the press box as soon as Myers is ready to come up from Lehigh Valley.

Easy no fron Vancouver. Rumor has it Leafs offered Liljegren and 1sr for Tanev and they declined. Also they have said they aren’t moving Virtanen.

That's what I was afraid of. I just don't watch enough of the Canucks to get a feel for these guys value.

Geez I think Tanev is so overrated. (Not a bad player by any means but overrated by some who think he's something hes not)

Injury prone.
Can't score to save his life.
His value lies in his contract being reasonable and that he plays the right side. Nothing else.

So who would fit the bill as an experienced shut down right handed defenseman? That won't break the bank. The Flyers need a steady stay at home defensemen to partner with Sanheim while he adjusts to the NHL. They have a ton of d prospects but I don't think they have the proper veterans to mentor them and cover some of the rookie mistakes they are going to make as they settle in. Provorov and Gostisbehere are a solid first pairing. Gudas despite being a solid second pairing veteran needs an adult to keep him from doing something stupid so isn't the best choice to mentor kids. And the less said about MacDonald and Manning the better. Meanwhile Sanheim, Hagg, Morin, and Myers are all pretty much NHL ready with 3 of the 4 sitting in the minors. Something has got to give.
