The only thing I take exception to is that. either whomever we draft with the second overall, he will either get second-line minutes or he will be sent down to Juniors.

Unfortunately, the same goes for Oskar Lindbolm. I do like that you kept the Schenn/Coots/Weise line, because of the chemistry, but it seems like we have some odd-men out w/ Lindbolm and Vecchione. I think that we do one of two things. Move Schenn or Filpulla or not resign Jordan Weal.

Tried to make it realistic also with what I want to see. I think cousins/Laughton have shown what they are and that is fourth liners at best. Put them in the ahl, let Lindblom and #2 have a chance in the NHL as their ceilings seem to be much higher.

Would love to see hexy somehow dump filpula if they're confident #2 can be our 2C.

Terms/$ for weal and vecchione are just guesses. I like the idea of a show me 1 year deal for weal.

Anyone's guess at what happens with the goalie situation is as good as mine. Going to be another platoon for 2 years.

I'd like to see vecchione over PEB at 4C but we know how much Hak/flyers love bellemare.

Bottom line I think this is somewhat realistic while taking the approach of letting younger, first time NHLers (lindblom, #2) crack the lineup and provide talent/scoring depth rather than continiung to trot out Laughton/cousins/read when we know what those guys are. It will have to play out in camp/preseason. My patience is wearing haha...

I am confused Flyers554410, you said that Vecchione will get over 1.1 million (who has yet to play over 5 NHL games) but you need to have Jordan Weal on a "prove-it" deal.

he doesnt ever make sense

Vecchione was a 24 year old winning a Hobey Baker...not that impressive when he Post-graduating and played two seasons in the USHL.

Here is where you make zero sense:

You act as if we cannot have a 1.5 million cap hit on our books for three years...we can. If we offer Jordan Weal a one year deal, and he is as good as we want him to be, he will walk because we won't be able to afford him. (9mil/3yrs). If he does flop, it's only 1.5 million against the cap.

Vecchione has a zero sample size. You now want to pay him over 1.5 million based off of what? Playing NCAA hockey as a 24 year old? You're nuts.

If the Flyers offer Jordan Weal your "prove-it" deal, and he preforms around 35-45 points, he will demand money and we will have to let him walk.
If the Flyers offer Jordan Weal my deal, and he preforms around 25-30 points, its only 1.5 million on the books...chump change.

The safest offer is to offer a multi year deal, from the AAV ranging from 1.25-1.7 for 3 years.

23 games to 2 games...seems to be vastly different.

I guess there is no difference between Weal and Oskar Lindbolm. might as well pay Lindbolm 1.8 mil

I'm using the example of a player who has performed at the NHL level and a player who put up numbers in the SHL

I am comparing between someone who has never played NHL before and someone who has. Clearly he can't get that cause of the ELC.

this doesnt even warrant a response. keep on making terrible trades and wack predictions. I'll stay right.
