Can't see Philly spending considerable futures at all - let alone on Binnington

Flyers are not trading Bonk and they are most definitely not trading for an overpaid goalie with temper issues. We have two goalies in the khl right now, with on projected to back up Errson next year. To bring in binnington would create the same log jam you laid out on defense. To me in regards of the defense logjam in Philly, is that we’d run a pairing of
York - Drysdale
Sanheim - Bonk
Zamula/Seeler - Walker/Risto.

They are reported trying to decide on who to commit to longer term with Walker/Risto, so either way the plan is to shed a right handed d coming from now and until the draft

I’m basing this off Elliot Friedman saying that it’s possible Philly searches out a low cost goalie at this deadline. The rest was mashed together. What better home for Ron Hextall version 2.0?

Also, I’m a complete moron - I know what position sanhiem plays but forgot when making the deal. My mind decided he was on the right for that moment in history. O well.

I’m unsure what goalie would fit the low cost title (who is also playing well). Obv there’s term with binnington, but when I look at the rest of the market, I don’t see the options.

Oh your good, you ain’t a moron for not knowing every teams agenda. To me binnington just doesn’t fit that low cost, but it sure would be funny to watch him play under torts. They view sanheim as a righty but to me, with how our prospects seem to be falling, he’ll eventually shift back to left. I can’t see them breaking up a future pairing of York - drysdale (former teammmates and buddies off the ice) and shoving bonk to just third pair minutes.

When it comes a low cost goalie, I really only see Allen or a vladar fitting the bill based on term. But it’s fun to think about.

No chance of Philly doing this, really overvaluing Binnington and a good 4th liner.

Who says Philly doesn't covet Bonk? Of course they do.

I think I agree. If I could do it again the first round pick is not included.

Toropchenko is hard to value:

24, 6’6, ohl development, no injury history that I know of, by all measuring sticks has over achieved in every role so far, physical but doesn’t take dumb penalties, has hands. Back half of this season he’s getting 3rd line min (14 min a game). The next 5 years of his career should be the most productive, and he shouldn’t be a full time 4th liner - you’d like to see him on the third line and netfront of the second pp, moving up from there if he overachieves again.

I think this type of player is very very rarely traded, and when they are, it’s for more than expected. I just kinda tossed him in for funsies - a prospect that doesn’t need any development, so the loss of youth from the proposal is met with some youth in return. And also, binnington alone isn’t enough for an impactful return in my mind, so I added the best young thing that would be useful right now for Philly so stl could get a thing they need, then tried to balance the scale. Probably kept my finger on my side a little bit.

So you read a report saying the Flyers might be interested in a "low cost" goalie and then you propose trading 2 1sts for a goalie?

Well. Yeah. Lol. Not my best proposal.

The first up there is regrettable, can pretend it doesn’t exist. I’ve conceded that.

I’d suggest binnington alone has … modest value. Significantly cheaper than saros or Markstrom.

Then I selfishly picked what I wanted from Philly, and it costed more than a binnington. So I found something that made sense ontop of binnington. My opinion would be that toropchenkos current value is higher than a 1st, binningtons less than one.

Then tried to make the trade even.
