Thread: Flyers 20-21

Myers will get way more that 1m. Patrick should get significantly less than 3m. Morin is going to the AHL (the quote was 50-60 games of consistent play before they think about bringing him back to the NHL). Vorobyov signed a multi-year deal in the KHL. His NHL cup of coffee is over. And Brassard at 3m to play on the fourth line is a luxury that we don't need and cannot afford.

Thread: Fixing Back end Tinkering with bottom six

There is not a single chance that the flyers retain on ghost for an overpaid fourth line winger. That's one of the more outrageous ghost trades that I've seen on here.

Man, I really consider that as a Flyers fan... and its only because I think Frost can step into the 3c role. I dont like it, but i consider it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chapee44</b></div><div>Love the Hagg acquisition. Great partner for Risto.
Hate the Haula and Maroon signings. Lazar and Larsson are "in house", cheaper and better. Plus I'd rather take a chance on someone younger like Noesen for a 4th line role.
Would also like to see someone with more speed than Tage at 3RW but that's my own bias against Tage.</div></div>

No... he's not. The guy is just not very good. He is constantly a step out of position or a stride late. He has no ability to hit an outlet pass and gets ragged in his own end. Some folks like him because of his hits count, but they are not the type that make the opposition hesitate (liek they would if it were Weber). Hagg is a 7 and you are asking for trouble if you think he's going to fix a shutdown pair.

Thread: After the NAK signing

Id love to see the pairings as Provy-Sanheim; Ghost- Myers, Hagg -Niskanen... I think having Niskanen still skating by the times playoffs roll around is essential and rather limit ice time in season to make the push. And asking Hagg to do more than not much on the off side is a recipe for disaster.

Thread: Now Show It

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ken_holland</b></div><div>is gostisbehere that bad? what happened to him</div></div>

No. He is not that bad, but there seems like half of the fan base is furious that he isnt leading the league in points. They are the same folks that think Hagg is worth playing 82 games because *reason* despite his inability to get the puck out of a paper bag.

Ghost had a very bad season this year, but looked like he regained his skating after a knee procedure over the pause. I would love to see him dressing with someone like nisky or Myers. I believe he has more 35+pt seasons left opposed to another year like we saw this year. Part of the rush to dump him is the need for cap space and the idea that JVR is overpaid/would be hard to unload at 7mil.

Fair deal. I dont see it as a huge bargain, but i like the price certainty for the next two seasons.

I feel like the Flyers have enough options for bottom of the lineup guys without sending out multiple draft picks.... Also we got rid of Hartman because we didnt want to pay him that much.... Looks like the right move

Thread: Two More Small Moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chapee44</b></div><div>Borgen is 4-6D who's Right Handed. He's just been behind Risto, Joki, Montour and Miller. I figured each team needs guys to play the other side so it worked</div></div>
You say that but he's actually an AHL defenseman that hasn't been able to crack the lineup of a very bad Buffalo team. I get that he is young but nothing about him screams ready to contribute to a playoff team that is expected to contend next year.
He can grow into the role and is likely better than Hagg (who I would argue is nothing more than a 7) but can Borgen be a positive addition now? We have plenty of depth in the farm system for the future.

Carter Hutton is an expensive backup for the product he brings to the ice. Any team out there could find a cheaper veteran backup to be just an average goalie. There's no way he brings a 2nd.... but I also said that there was no team that would take Marcus Johansson, so what the **** do I know.

Thread: Boeser Rumour

I really like this deal for both teams. Dumba would walk in as the best RD on the roster and Boeser has high offensive skill and could put up big numbers if he can string together a few healthy seasons. As on outsider, this looks like a nice 1:1 hockey trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Great defensive system coach.

This hiring is going to kill Ovechkin's shot at Gretzky's goal title.</div></div>
Lavy is an offensive system coach. Briere had some good insights about his methods/focus coaching. Basically he got pissed if the offense didn't get good looks with their zone possession. (I am over-simplifying.)

Love what he did with the Flyers and think he'll be great early with the caps. He has a tendency to burn bright early and wear out his welcome which is fine since your window is the next three years.

Thread: Toronto tampa and Philly deals

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HarterCart79</b></div><div>Don't know much about Sikura, if he's not at least a B level prospect I'd say no deal. Laughton may not be the team's best player, he might not even be a Top-6 fwd, but he's a very valuable depth piece that plays PK and works his butt off for a pretty fair contract, it would be hard for me to trade a guy like that if I'm Chuck Fletcher</div></div>

Sikura is a 25 year old forward that has yet to crack the NHL with any consistency. The trade is Laughton for a 2nd and a warm body in the AHL, so it doesn't make much sense given what we are trying to achieve next season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FireShero</b></div><div>Yeah but that was on a much better team than the Devils.

At $7 million he is overpaid and at that price we are just looking for relief. At 5 million or 5.5, he is a viable option for a team looking for scoring on the wing... Same page!

Just a heads up. TK plays exclusively on the right side. He has never been used on the LW other than maybe PP time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shane_Kelly</b></div><div>Also JVR may find a scoring touch next season, never know.</div></div>

19 goals in 66 games... roughly a 25 goal pace in a down year. So yeah, finding that scoring touch is not a real concern.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zyyyp</b></div><div>Flyers have to add, JVR is still a cap dump at 2M retained</div></div>

Likewise, how many guys can you trade for that guarantee you between 25 and 35 goals in season. $5 million a year for that type of production needs to be paid for, not a cap dump.

I'm hoping that we use the farm system to fill in the open roster spots. I'd love to see Rubstov and Bunnaman take the majority of the reps at 4c as opposed to signing an aging (read bad) UFA like Thompson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CowSaysMoo</b></div><div>What about a player like Pascal Laberge or German Rubtsov? Are the Flyers still high on both?</div></div>
There's a large gap between the expectations for Frost and Rubstov or Laberge. Laberge has never been the same after a bad hit in juniors. I would love to see a team with room in their farm system take a chance on him for AHL action. Rubstov figures to top out as a middle six center, he hasn't looked out of place in limited action but could use a solid campaign to get his NHL hopes on track.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CowSaysMoo</b></div><div>I may have not thought of the expansion draft aspect. My bad, you make a good point. It goes to show how hard it is to not only make decisions in today’s NHL, but also act on it.

I made this trade with the thought in mind of PHI moving JVR. Also, I thought Laughton was a Center?</div></div>

If JVR is moved, Laughton shifts to C, and Farabee plays his off side, Greenway would work, but the price is still very steep for a bottom six player.

Laughton can play both but it seems like the coaching staff prefers him at wing unless injuries force him to step in. The majority of Laughton's success this year came with him on the left side.
