Leafs would never do that

Massive overpay for Patches. Great attempt at a Holmgren team though!

Mtl would gladly accept that offer however we would need to take back some salary, maybe Lehtera clearing up cap space and room at center for Schenn, Nolan and Laughton

Lindblom on D?!?!?!

fixed. don't know how i missed that

Schenn???

I like this format and player evaluation. I don't think a 3rd is realistic with Stolarz's injury problems but with his NHL experience and upside (if healthy) then maybe. Only Hextall would be able to get that much for him. The only real problem I see with this is that Giroux is playing center. He should be right wing with Coots up the middle and Nolan as 2nd line center. That would force the whole lineup to look different

you're right. I forgot to fix the lines. making changes now

I appreciate you changing the lines to a more realistic approach. Weal wont be 3rd line C but since Hextall has expressed interest in keeping Filpulla around for at least another year, then he could be 3rd line C until any of the C prospects are ready to make the jump (Frost, Rubtsov, Vorobyov, Vecchione)
Also, as much as I want him back in the orange and black and regret the Luke Schenn trade, signing JVR doesn't seem smart short or long term in this setup. A healthy Simmonds is a 30 goal scorer and belongs on the 2nd line at the lowest. He had so many bad injuries this past year, only missed 7 games and still had over 20 goals. He should be 2nd line and Lindblom should be 3rd line for development. If you like Weal enough to keep him on the roster (I don't and would want a bigger physical presence in bottom 6 but its personal preference) then he could be 4th line LW if JVR isn't signed. Seems like a solid lineup to me.
Also, I didn't mention it before and didn't see it in any above comments but I applaud you for the Neuvirth trade to open up a spot for Lyon. Hart is the definite starter in the AHL so Lyon wouldn't get nearly the amount of starts he got this year. With his impressive performance in the AHL playoffs, solid play in NHL play, and praise from Hextall about his consistency, this seems like a realistic option. Well done

I appreciate your response. I know the JVR signing isn't realistic at this point for the flyers, but i was sort of going for a more aggressive approach that the flyers could take to compete for a cup next season. And while I agree that Simmonds is better than a third liner, I think it could be beneficial for him to face lesser competition and help facilitate a bounce back year for him. As for Weal, I think he is better than the player that we saw last year, but maybe a bigger and more physical player would be better for the flyers

DD is 100% wrong. If you want Patches it will cost the same as Simmonds if not more. A 1st round pick, top 50 prospect and a wild card. Weal is not a C, Laughton should be your 4C and find a 3C
