<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Terry_AkiSauce</b></div><div> any team that has a long term injury to their best players will likely falter. </div></div>

Lightning won the cup with their top end players injured... The point is your top end guys are injury prone and your depth isnt good enough to carry this team. So, yeah injuries are unpredictable, but send us your pick next year with this team. I'm happy to have it.

Thread: Cup or Bust

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kjell_Forsman</b></div><div>This clearly isn't a lottery team.</div></div>

This team is not clearly better than Colorado, St Louis or Minnesota, which means they are fighting for their spot and any injury long term injury to DK, JT Miller, or Chychrun (never played 82) and Letang (played 82 once) could dismantle this build. So yeah, there is a chance they miss and send us a top pick. Expectation is looking in the 15-25 range in 2023, the upside is franchise changing talent (which is just too high to turn down).

I 100% take a deal that sends us your 2023 1st round pick.... the upside is just too high to turn down.

i cant imagine the Flyers are lining up to take on that cap hit in an offseason where they have no room and want to be "aggressive."

Thread: Draft UFA Market

You don’t trade a top five pick for a bottom five pick and a future first. More realistically you’d be looking at buffalo’s 1st from both years.

Thread: Philly what say you

It cost us a second round pick to move two years of a contract for a dman that plays 22mins a night and is on a 50pt pace. Seems light to eat two years of a depth forward while sending an RFA along for the ride

Thread: Somewhat Realistic Off-Season

Aren't 35+ contracts like Mike Smith's guaranteed against the cap? I was under the impression that if he retires the cap hit stays.

Yeah, that seems like an overpay for Braun. I mean, I’d take it but I think you could get it done for less.

Thread: He is going where he wants

When comparing Grioux's potential deal to Taylor Hall, we should remember that Taylor Hall had 2 goals in 37 games for the Sabres playing with the best center they have had in my lifetime. Taylor Hall took that 1 year deal because his previous season was down statistically, with the hope that this was his opportunity to pad his totals and get a long-term deal. The Sabres had both no leverage and an underperforming asset.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>The funniest part is that his numbers are actually slightly better than Chiarot's this year. Or, possibly funnier, is that they traded a 1st (14OA), 2nd and Hagg for him. There's still hope, Habsters!</div></div>

This is the same feeling that I had when we traded JVR for Luke Schenn 1:1. What time of the day do you have to start drinking to get beat so badly?

I imagine that Risto will be very effective in a playoff series when physicality amps up and the penalties are fewer.... but we'll never know.

I can’t imagine that boeser is worth that much more than Konecny that the flyers would take Myers. Y’all are stuck with him… unless chuck fletcher goes full muppet again.

Thread: Schisms

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>I think it is, because Myers is playing very well this season. Not well enough to be living up to his contracts value, but well enough that he arguably has some trade value. I'm being generous and offering up Boeser to take on Myers in exchange for Konecny. Myers reputation is way overblown around the league

</div></div>

Yes and my point is that, as a Flyers fan, there is no way that I'm taking on Myers without real assets coming with him. Boeser and TK are comparable - we can argue who should get an extra piece and why, but adding Myers to the trade greatly skews the value in your favor.

Thread: Schisms

The difference between Boeser and TK is not wide enough for us to be paying Myers 6 million a year.

Thread: TDL 2022

Nick Foligno got a 1st and 4th if memory serves correctly... He was a 33-year old UFA that hadn't passed 35 points in the previous three years. A) i cannot imagine G waives a NMC to go to minnesota to play 1C if he is looking for a chance at a cup and B) I think there's a better deal to be had.

Thread: Realistic Deadline

Braun as a 7 is a huge luxury. He has looked reliable (given the dumpster fire that is our team) in mostly d-zone starts. He is definitely able to contribute to a playoff run and can play big PK minutes.

That said, the value seems on par with what I'd expect GMCF to get.

Yandle is a 6 at this point of his career. You do not want him in top 4 minutes during playoff hockey. Need a new plan!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>Broberg was a number 8 Pick and he's just about ready to contribute in the NHL so if you want a quick rebuild it somewhat makes sense. Probably doesnt make sense for anybody thoughas Edmonton's need is at defence.</div></div>

There is nothing about our team that will be fixed quickly by adding one almost-NHL-ready defender. We need to increase our number of picks, draft well, and be methodical. And there is no way I trade the pick without lottery protections.

Thread: Goalie - D - 3rd line scoring

You do realize that the Flyers 1st round pick is likely to be in the top 10 of the draft, right? Pretty sure Chuck Fletcher hangs up on you and trades Braun somewhere else for a pick.
