I think u need to bring in MORE left shot defenseman, Lol

Plus, you’re trading Jokiharju (a righty) for a left shot u don’t even have in the lineup???

Seems pretty far off to me
No offense

Xhekaj price is a top 10 pick, full stop. you only find those kind of players once every 5 years, no way we just trade him for Henri.

Xhekaj is not worth a top 10 pick he’s not even worth a 1st lol. He can fight and is big so are plenty of other guys. He isn’t the next Chris Pronger lol what a take.

Agreed. Even a 2nd round pick is pushing it. I just believe Montreal, and fans think he is simply untouchable.

I don't think that's actually true, but Montreal definitely wouldn't trade him for Jokiharju. Montreal probably wouldn't have interest in Jokiharju period tbh.

already offered a top 15 pick, confirmed. if that's your take on Xhekaj I have nothing to gained talking with you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/comments/1aceskx/the_fourth_period_reports_that_the_habs_have/

then confirmed by Mathias Brunet that it was a top 15 pick, a WELL known and renowed reporter for the habs and Lapresse.

Ah okay so Habs reporters (which the team definitely doesn’t use to their advantage to put out BS reports to boost their players draft stock) said it. Fletcher paid a 1st for Risto. Doesn’t mean Risto is worth a 1st.

Help me understand signing Kulikov. Kulikov was a bust during the 2016-2017 season for the Sabres.

The package sent isnt horrible. It may not be a 2024 1st but you get a 2025 one, plus a good D prospect, a forward needing more opportunity, and a very solid F prospect who is going to be a valuable NHL player imo

It’s definitely not horrible but the Flyers are going to want quality of quantity. If Buffalo really loads up and makes the playoffs then a late 1st and a couple of decent prospects isn’t nearly as valuable as the first this year and one of ur better prospects and it would probably get out bid tbh. For example, Ottawa could easily offer more than the above and so could a bunch of other teams especially if he comes with an extension and or the flyers retain on him for this year
