Overall, In my opinion, I think some of these are close, and work for both teams. To get value, you have to give value.
Overall, the flyers get cap space, get younger, have better offense, slightly weaker defense. Losing older JVR, Ghost and Braun, (only mid aged Forsberg, kulak coming back) while bring in Dermott, Kapanen, Juulsen, while losing prospect depth and young quality guys in Myers and Zemula. The Flyers lose a bit on defense, losing braun, myers and ghost, but bringing in dermott, juulsen and kulak. The loss at forward of JVR is offset by addition of Forsberg and kapanen. The flyers without Patrick and lindblom still have ample prospects at forward: ratcliffe, Allison, brink, frost, farabee and have a younger defense in the nhl with prospects like ginning, York, etc still to come.
I think it helps MTL with a top six goal scoring winger, it helps TOR with defense, it helps NASH with a good influx of quality prospects.
