You have to pay more than that because Buffalo probably has zero interest in jvr JVR is over paid but JVR has 23 goals this season.

...7 mil for only one season doesn't need a high end prospect and a 3rd...I agree!

Ummmmm Philly declines because this trade is absolutely hilariously bad... I completely agree, but what is the value of taking on $3,500,000 of dead cap?

You can keep the third round pick and buffalo can kick you a higher pick than a seventh rounder if Frost were the return. Maybe a 4th. Not sure Buffalo really has a spot on the roster for JVR, but if this trade were on the table Adams would have to take it. Unless he has a better idea. Exactly my opinion of this trade.

Frost is a C.....Yes he is.
There are many playoff teams who would love to have JVR's 23 goals, unfortunately none of them have the cap space to absorb $7,000,000.
Checking CF the Flyers have $76,143,107 committed to 10 forwards, 6 defensemen, 1 GK and 2 LTIR presuming they will not be competing, they could sign 5 UFA @ $750,000 and still be below the cap limit.
Why would the Flyers not hold him until the 2023 TDL, retain 50% and trade him to a contender for a decent return, IMO at least a 2nd if not more?
Let me add, getting Gaudreau will not make the Flyers a playoff team.
At this time they are further away from the playoffs than the Sabres.
