Thread: Philly gets speed and grit

Massive overpayment for Domi. He is coming off of two seasons of mixed results while JVR was tied for our team lead in points. There's not a chance I make that trade with retained salary AND sending picks/prospects - the advance stats and counting stats agree.

41 pts in 51 games for an absolutely dreadful team. Kills penalties, runs PP, takes most of the important draws - 59% FO%. Postive corsi rel and expected goals.... what more do you want? Giroux is and always has been Elite. Nobody is saying he is the MVP this year, but you are silly to think he doesn't put a contender over the top.

Thread: (PHI/MTL) - Gustafsson for 2022 7th round pick

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>Gustafsson has a better W.A.R than Hagg + Myers + Braun. Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say he has a negative impact?</div></div>

Our defense is a mess. I'd be perfectly fine with anyone that wants Braun or Hagg (long time anti-Hagg fan). Myers has to toolset that can be improved.

Gustafsson is just bad. He had a few offensive highlights, but his passing isn't good in his own end. He typically finds himself beat in zone coverage and fails to clear given the chance. I like the move for the Habs if he can turn any of it around or gets decent support, but I am also happy that I do not have to watch him play again this season.

Thread: (PHI/WSH) - Raffl for 2021 5th round pick

Love Raffl and think this is a great depth pick up for the Caps. We weren't using him as much (in the healthy scratch rotation) and I am just as happy to get some kids the ice time as we crawl to the finish of the season.

Thread: (PHI/MTL) - Gustafsson for 2022 7th round pick

Gustafson is so bad defensively... This is a huge win for the Flyers. I'd rather have a random prospect with .01% chance of playing in the NHL than a guy that is a negative impact on the ice. This made me so happy.

Yeah, we aren't. Why wouldn't we just keep him. Patrick's current production and upside are both better... and let's not forget this kid still has not had a normal offseason for 4 years. I'd rather ride it out.

Thread: Solid changes for Leafs

I cannot imagine the Flyers giving up Laughton for picks in the 80+ and 110+ range. He's a solid even strength scorer that plays with speed up and down the lineup. He has good expected goals outcomes and corsi despite starting the vast majority of shifts in the D-zone and is a top penalty killer. I have to think he'd fetch more from a team looking for the last piece.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>That's a pass from the Flyers...we trade a useful D man for a useless forward, save no cap and only get a 3rd?</div></div>

All of this. With the retention Connolly becomes a > 4 million 13th forward on a multi-year contract and we get a 3rd for taking that cap hit and giving up a guy that is easily one of our top four defensemen this year.

Thread: Bernier Kulikov Laughton

Not sure why we would be adding a pick and giving the roster player in the Laughton trade. 7g, 17pts (all even strength) and a 3.7 E+/- despite starting over 60% of his shifts in the d-zone. There are very few unproven players that warrant a player like Laughton and a high pick.

Have to agree. 26year old right winger that is not contributing at the NHL level for the flyers' best D prospect... How does this make any sense?

Thread: Mega giga trade

Imagine thinking Kase has more value than Voracek. Kase has never been able to stay in the lineup and has broken 20 goals and 30 pts once in his career. Kase's career high matches Voracek's career low - his rookie year. Makes no sense for the Flyers to get worse on the ice and give up picks.

Price is 56th in the league when looking at goals saved above average over the past three seasons. If he is locked in, he's amazing, but he's been mostly average at best since signing his extension.

Thread: My Most Hated Player on Every Team

I don’t get it. Is this the player other teams hate or that the team’s fans hate? Either way, how did you end up with Sanheim for the flyers?

Thread: Anaheim rebuild

Your trade values are way off... Getzlaf can still play and would be a great addition to a contender looking for a boost. Retain half and get some real assets. Flyers aren't trading for a bottom lineup winger. They have seven top-6 wingers and three more guys that are best suited for bottom six roles. Does not fit the need there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Konecny is a fine young player with a great contract. He's not as good as Laine but in the current economic climate his contract has value.</div></div>

Agreed. It’ll be a big jump in salary for 4 extra goals last year... people on here were proposing packages like Laine is Ovechkin; I’d argue he’s closer to Simon Gagne. He can score but he’s not a world-beater.

End of the day I’d rather have TK at 5.5 for 5 more seasons than whatever 8-figure monstrosity Laine is going to be looking for next year.

I'll burn the rink down and accept the offer. Crosby is one of the best all-time and immediately gives us an elite weapon to contend now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Lol, you have a point. But this isn’t enough for Matthews. Just do the straight up from New York I’d say. Leave Tamps out.</div></div>

Sure, if Toronto is playing the long game, there is an argument that KK, Fox and picks would be preferable. Depends if you want to take a win-now approach or play more patient. I'd still love to see a blockbuster, three-way trade like the proposal. As an hockey fan there isn't enough major roster shaping through trade.

Pulock is worth every bit of $5million and I truly appreciate the two year deal that allows for a big raise when he gets closer to UFA status.

Thread: 3 way blockbuster everyone wins i think v7

I have been thinking about this trade and I love everything about it... NYR get a superstar 1C. Tampa gets cap space, young talent and picks. Toronto gets scoring center and young Dman that completely changes the makeup of the blue line. I think all three fan bases will feel robbed which means the value is probably close to fair. Excellent stuff.

Thread: possibility of this

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetman</b></div><div>What?? Pionk is better than Myers and Laine is better than Konecny...</div></div>

I’d rather have TK than Laine. 3 less goals this season, locked up on an affordable deal. Plays a complete game. Laine is a great shooter but to date he’s more Simon Gagne than Alexander Ovechkin.

I am super high on Myers so it doesn’t hurt my feelings to agree on no deal here.

Thread: Flyers

Okposo is half the production that JVR provides and is signed for 1m less for equal. Value is heavily weighted toward JVR

Risto is one of the truly overrated dmen in the league. He would benefit greatly from playing second pair minutes instead of being leaned on as the guy. He puts up points, but gets buried in expected outcomes. Ghost had a down year and may or may not provide much value, Both guys have potential for top 4. Risto is worth more but it's a pick your poison scenario.

Hagg is a serviceable 6-7. He is young enough that a second makes sense.

Value is probably close, but I don't touch this as the Flyers because Okposo is truly dead weight in a flat cap and I don't trust Risto to step into what we need on our top pair.

Thread: team by tdl

All three of those trades heavily favor the Sabres, but the worst is that Raanta trade.
Raanta is a fine rental for anyone looking at an injury or wanting an upgrade/depth as the playoffs approach. Hutton is a severly overpaid, subpar backup and Pilut signed a multi-season deal in the KHL so who knows if he every comes back to North America. So for Raanta Arizona gets a 3rd round pick, a KHL player, and has to take back salary for a player that only improves your chance of winning the draft lottery.
