What are Radcliffe and Farabees ceiling in your opinion? I gotta day I haven’t seen a ton of Flyers hockey recently, but they seem more rugged of a system than Buffalo is trying to be; Risto could be a good addition for you guys. Also what is Konecnys availability?
- Ratcliffe is a 6'6 winger who can score, I think he's a top 6 eventually
- Farabee is a ready-now player, but I'm thinking top 6 eventually as well
- Konecny is a fan favourite and will likely not get dealt unless a team overpays for him. 50 point player who will come below $5M AAV, definitely a keeper.
Risto is a good addition, and the Flyers have a top-3 prospect pipeline (ranked 1-3 in 7 websites) so they can afford to give up some prospects for a ready-now defender like Risto.

I dont think Patrick has that much value he is a second overall pick that averages 30-35 points
Patrick has been playing 2C since he came into the league with NO development time whatsoever. Unequal matchups with guys like Malkin, Trocheck, Matthews, etc. I think that explains his underwhelming point production. His non-point production, however, has been great.

I disagree with you. I think with the addition of Hayes, it makes Patrick expendable but they should keep him to see how he does as the third line center. Frost and Farabee have higher ceilings than Patrick.
I agree. I would think Philly would like a redo of the 2017 draft and take any of the next 4 guys who were picked after Patrick.
Patrick was projected #1 until he got hurt, and sorry, but in a few years you'll see why NJ should've taken him first. He's got the ceiling, he just got rushed into a role for a team desperate for immediate talent. Hextall's problem was not giving guys like him a helping hand or time to develop, and trying to find solutions in-house only. Patrick will stay in Philly for now, Frost I can agree could eventually out-do Patrick, but Farabee is still undecided.
