Thread: Blockbuster draft day
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurnEmUp</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BDang</b></div><div>

Don't get me wrong, Gaudreau could slide on the top line, as we lack dynamic top line talent. I would be shocked if Hextall pulled a deal of this magnitude after he has preached patience and building from within. Sanheim and Myers are blue chip prospects who haven't even played in the NHL yet. Add in the 1st/2nd and I think it is too much for Johnny Hockey.</div></div>

I don't think this deal happens either, but again it's not just for Johnny Hockey. The OP also included a 26 year old top pairing Dman on a sweetheart contract who goes by the name of TJ Brodie.</div></div>

Why give up two guys who have top pair potential on ELCs when they have the chance to draft a dynamic forward too? It's not like the Flyers completely lack guys that can play on the top line. Plus, with Myers and Gudas gone, the Flyers would have no right handed Dmen and that same situation led us to trade JvR for Luke Schenn.

Thread: Pressuring TB with Drouin offer sheet + Chuky trade at Expansion draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blazingbat11</b></div><div>

I'll swap Davidson with Beaulieu. I think you still have to have 2 d-man going back to MIN or they say no deal, since they could still lose one one in the expansion draft. And Emelin at a $3mil cap hit is a lot more desirable.</div></div>

Wild have in this scenario Scandella, Beaulieu, Emlin, Olofsson, Reilly, Suter as LHD. Protect Dumba, Spurgeon, and Suter and lose Beaulieu or Scandella to Vegas and keep the other one for 2nd pairing. Olofsson is ready for 3rd pairing (Reilly is 1st callup and is getting close to NHL ready) and would be ~$2m cheaper than Emelin. That $2m goes a long ways in resigning the rest of the team's RFAs.</div></div>

I'd rather plug either Scandella or Dumba into the deal instead of Brodin. We'd probably have to add a little bit more if it was Scandy but I would be ok with that. Dumba has been said to have the highest trade value of the 3 and personally, I would rather move him than Brodin. I agree though that Emelin serves no real purpose for us. We have plenty of LHD and would have Granlund, Nino, and Chucky to re-sign for RFAs this summer. An extra $2+ million in space is incredibly valuable to us at this point even before picking up Galchenyuk.

Thread: Flyers Panthers Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>As a Flyers fan this is completely unfair. You're offering them Jake for Huberdeau which they say no. Reimer is their future goalie and you can't really trade rights to UFAs. You can trade the player right now to them and they'd have first negotiating rights but that doesn't happen when they can just deal with them July 1st.</div></div>

I mispoke to say rights to UFA's I guess I meant first chance at, because officially the contracts do not expire until free agency begins, July 1st. Your right this does not happen much anymore, but there is no reason it couldn't happen and with the addition of Vegas, I think their will be a lack of Bottom 6 Forwards, Top 6 D, and Depth players, available compared to usual which might make teams make deals like this. Plus MDZ is potential top 4 D man at his best and younger than most free agents available.

I disagree that Florida thinks that Reimer is truly there future goalie. NHL starting goalies make more than 3.4 million a year for 5 yrs, not to mention they still have Luongo signed to a year longer than Reimer. I see Reimer as a good tandem goalie (1-A) and one of the better backups in the league. The Panthers will ride Luongo and are keeping Reimer as insurance. Overall these two are stop gaps until the Panthers develop a better goalie, albeit very good stopgaps.

As for Huberdeau it's an interesting situation because he only played 31 games this season due to injury, and is set for a big raise in his new contract. Your right that the deal may not be fair and I did say it might take more to pry Huberdeau away. I'm just unsure to how much more that would be, and I think this would be a decent start to the trade talks though. The Panthers may want a goalie prospect which the Flyers have quite a few of at the moment. I don't think the Flyers give up a prospect D-man because Florida already has a pretty solid group of young D-men
