Thing is: First, Flyers don't need any draft picks, so adding a second to square it out actually does nothing for us.
Second, we don't need twi middle 6 players. I like Shaw for our 3rd line wing spot but where does Byron go? Can't really believe they recently re-signed Raffl for two years to put him on the bench so Byron can play on the 4th line. To me that's why these rumors don't have merit unless it was for either Shaw OR Bryon and then something else needs to be added which leads us back to the first point.
Thirdly, we don't need Juulsen - he's just a throw in to say 'look we added value'. Flyers have Myers as their young RHD for next season. There's no space for Juulsen.
Fourthly, Ghost is a valuable cost controlled player, chucking a load of middling stuff isn't a deal that makes sense for the Flyers. We can probably afford to move on from Ghost with Provorov, Sanheim, and Myers, all in the NHL now but it's not as though we need to. He had a bad year but even that was mostly exacerbated by our catastrophic PP, even adding an average amount of PP points gets him around 50 total on the season. I can't see Fletcher selling low because he's not desperate to move him. Stranger things have halogens though.
