Flyers Retool 2019-2020

Created by: Phlylgenion
Team: 2019-20 Philadelphia Flyers
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 4, 2019
Published: Jan. 4, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The Philadelphia Flyers compete as soon as 2020 by improving the team defense, leadership, depth, and goaltending.
-Voracek likely gets flipped for a younger player by Los Angeles.
-Simmonds/UFA's that weren't resigned (and have value) get traded for picks in 2019. These picks can be considered to have been used in any trade where I underpaid, if any.
-I realize that some if not all of the NTC/NMC's could realistically prevent some of the trades if they would be agreed upon.

I missed that Raanta was injured when initially put this together. I am assuming that he will have recovered fully by the end of this season and passes his physicals. Otherwise, I would sign someone like Jimmy Howard (assuming no better alternatives are possible).

Not a big fan of the LA and Arizona deal. It's a cup or bust team. Trades could end up hurting mightily.

The Flyers best young players at the moment are Sanheim, Myers, and Frost and you've traded them all to get older.

I don't know, its like one step forward and one step back.

You're dealing Frost, Rubotsov, Sanheim, Myers, a 1st and a 2nd? And getting back Hjalmarsson, Doughty and Dustin Brown and adding stone and chiasson? That is gutting most teams prospect pools, about half of Phillys for a lot of age.

I'm worried that a defense corps of Provorov, Gostisbehere, Sanheim, Myers, Morin, and Haag will not ever be good enough to shut down the likes of McDavid or Matthews while also putting up points. They're all nice players with potential and tools, but the Flyers could very well end up having to trade for at least one more elite #2 defensemen. Myers or Sanheim will be probably gone in 2 seasons due to the expansion draft, so one of them will have to be traded for something. The Flyers could alternatively trade the worse player out of Sanheim or Myers in 2 seasons for a pick. Gostisbehere isn't going anywhere until someone else proves capable of putting up 40-50 points per season. While it is risky to trade a potential future star, it's also risky to forgo the trade value of a bluechip prospect that never lives up to its potential.

I'm not really a big fan of Rubstov, but he still has some value for the moment as a former 1st round pick who has some excuses (lack of opportunity in Russia, lack of time to build chemistry in juniors, and some injury trouble). Even if he turns out to be decent, the Flyers likely won't have room for him above the 3rd line.

I don't like trading Frost and wouldn't include him for the vast majority of the players in the league.

In 3 years, they would still have Patrick, Konecny, Stone, 2019 1st round pick, Lindblom (if he continues to develop), maybe Giroux, maybe Couturier, and whoever develops out of Farabee/O'Brien/Ratcliffe/Strome/Vorobyev/Allison/Laczysnki. On defense they'd still have Provorov, Gostisbehere, Doughty, and Haag or Morin. In goal, they'd probably have a talented young starter in Hart, or maybe Sandstrom/Errson/Ustimenko. Eventually the Flyers are going to need to start trading some of these prospects when they don't have any more developing to do and the Flyers don't have any room.

If they don't want to try to win now, I'd alternatively like to see them trade players like Voracek and maybe even Giroux for talented young players. I don't want the Flyers to waste the rest of their prime fielding mediocre teams and try to start being competitive when they start to decline. If the Flyers keep them around, they will have a very short window, slightly later than the above roster, while Giroux and Voracek are still good and the prospects are approaching the prime (but not getting paid yet). Their value for the years until that short window would have been wasted. After that window, there is no guarantee that Patrick/Konecny/Linblom will be any better than Giroux/Vorack/Simmonds. There is no guarantee that Gostisbehere/Sanheim/Myers will be much better than Streit/Coburn/Meszaros. Finally, the players who replace the older players will be more young players that are a few years away from their prime.
