What about we go coucou for Gauthier
The Flyers have a lot of mid to good level prospects. What they lack is top end prospects. So I don't think they'd trade one of their two top end prospects to add more mid to good level prospects and a couple of draft picks. Especially when Philly are finally rebuilding.
To put things into perspective, would you like this trade if Philly went to MTL and offered the following: Bobby Brink, Elliot Desnoyers, Olle Lycksell, and a 1st (FLA), 2nd, and 3rd for Juraj Slafkovsky or Lane Hudson?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>I don’t think it is a hot take at all actually lol. I actually agree with you. The thing I struggle with is the fact that Zamula is no longer waiver exempt which means they can’t send him down without going on waivers first and I think it’s guaranteed someone would claim him. They could run a 23 man roster but I don’t think it’s ideal for Zamula’s development to sit every game. It really will come down to 1. how much do they trust Andrea to be ready and 2. do they think Zamula will ever be more than a 3rd pairing guy and are they comfortable with trying to pass him through waivers or not</div></div>
I don't think Zamula is a guarantee waiver claim. He's a 23 year old undrafted dman with 26 games of NHL experience. Even Myers (comparison since both were undrafted) had a lot more NHL experience by this age. You probably don't want to lose him for nothing but at the end of the day it's probably not a player you'll lose sleep over.

I'd only see walker playing than zamula or staal, and I dont see seeler. And Sanheim has been tried at RD, and isn;t good.
Couturier probably is on a veteran 1st line with Koneckny and atkinson, with cates at 3C with Laughton and foerster, and frost gets farabee and tippett.</div></div>
It would actually be a better idea not to put Ellis on LTIR if you don't have to. You can keep him on injured reserve so you can accumulate cap space over the season. The team isn't competing but it may help at the deadline with taking back bad contracts to get a better assets or help retain in a 3 way trade for more assets. You can always put Ellis on LTIR if you need to call someone up or if you need that cap space immediately for a pending trade.

The smart move

I haven't seen anything that says the Flyer's first buyout window was moved because of Fedotov contract issue.
The first buyout window for everyone happens right after the playoffs end to the beginning of FA (June 30th is the deadline). When Cates filed for arbitration, that gave the Flyers a second buyout window. The second buyout window is 72 hours after that contract is settled, then I believe you are given 2 days for the window. Cates was signed on July 10th so the second buyout window lines up when TDA was bought out on July 14th.

It's less about Tortz wanting Anderson and more about the value coming back for Hart and Provy. A starting goalie and a 2nd pair Dman for a mid first rounder and a middle six winger on a bad contract. And it looks like Philly is adjusting to a rebuild than their stupid retool idea. So players like Anderson aren't really a match right now.

wishful thinking
This is a quote from Ryan Ellis during the exit interviews at the end of the season:
“I want to play here, I want to be a part of the solution here, I think I can really help out this team. My family loves it here, my kids love it here, we’ve found a great school. If I was playing, this would be Heaven for me. The only reason it’s not is because I’m not playing."
If Ellis is able to play, he'll be a key part of the Flyers defense. Only question is if he can get healthy for next season.

I don't think the Flyers would trade the 5OV for one year of Bo Horvat. Not even sure they would do it even if Horvat had an extension attached. The 5OV is a fall back if the Flyers end up failing again this up coming season and need to blow it up and rebuild.

I mean statically you can say their similar, I would even agree with you. However, GMs and coaches see Braun a level below them. The examples you gave, all of them have been playing this playoffs, Braun has been a healthy scratch all but one game, and that was due to another player being injured. So it seems like teams only wanted Braun to be that 7th Dman who can come in if someone's hurt or they need to switch something up.
Besides, there's plenty of other reasons to be upset with CF than getting a 3rd round pick for Braun instead of a 2nd. I mean seriously lol

For all we know, maybe nobody wanted Braun or were only asking a 5th or something. And he negotiated it to a 3rd. We have no idea. Only way you can say he's a bad at negotiating is if something comes out that a GM would've paid a 2nd or more for Braun. Otherwise it's just making speculations on something you can't prove.

Sure, they are all younger talents, but they were all rentals so that doesn’t change a thing.
The market was hot, all 3 guys probably got well more than they should’ve but that is the problem. Braun could’ve easily commanded a 2nd and a guy prospect at that point.</div></div>
I mean the price is determined by demand and the player's ability. Clearly those three players were sought after by multiple teams and Braun's market was limited. While those three players are playing in the playoffs, Braun was a scratch game 1. I'm sure if CF was offered a 2nd and/or more, he would've said yes. It's not like someone calls and offers a 2nd and he's like, no I just want a 3rd. It looks like the market for Braun was probably around a 4th or 3rd.
Trust me, I don't think CF is a very good GM. There's plenty of examples that show he's not, but I'm not going to get upset because another team didn't want to pay more than a 3rd for Justin Braun.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Agreed. Send them to the minors for a year, then bring them up. No need to rush them to be the 2c. I don’t mind giving them some games, but not the whole season. Patrick did still have a lot of concussion problems that didn’t help him out, but yah, they should not have rushed him.
As a side question, would anyone take Hayes’ big contract? He is good, but not worth 7M.</div></div>
Assuming the Flyers struggle next seasons and decide to blow it up for a rebuild, I think the Flyers can afford to retain salary on Hayes if needed. He would have 3 years left and it would take some luck for the Flyers to be competitive before that contract is up anyways.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Let’s be honest, Philly isn’t going to be competing with the current group. Coots as a 1c and Hayes as 2C is risky… add in the two of them taking up 14+ in cap space and we are in bad shape, not saying I don’t like these guys, just not sure they are 1 and 2 C material on a playoff team. Sanhiem needs an extension the year after next and the guy is currently looking to earn what Provorov gets or more.
We should be looking to rebuild, send a few pieces for younger guys, cheaper guys. But we are talking about trading youth for pieces to try to improve our team now, and we are willing to overpay.
Fletcher has been selling low and buying high, it’s not the way to win. Getting a 3rd for Braun while similar players were all getting a 2nd + was just proof we shouldn’t really be letting Fletcher negotiate trades.</div></div>
The issue isn't Coots and Hayes being your two top centers, the issue is the lack of high end talent on the team. You can make the argument their cap hits prevent them from obtaining high end talent, however you're talking about Selke winner as your top center and two way center who's pace has been just under 50 points a season (and I think a solid 2C averages around 50 points). In regards to Sanheim, if the Flyers fail next season it won't matter, he'll probably be traded at the deadline. And if they do well, then they'll have to figure out the contract situation. No idea what he'll get, but based off his past couple of seasons, I'd say anywhere between $5.5 to $6.5 cap hit for a good 2nd pair Dman.
While I don't agree with every move Fletcher has made, I wouldn't say been selling low and buying high. I would say the deals he overpaid for were Risto and Braun. Bruan, while expensive, ended up working out well. Risto was a massive overpay and while he hasn't been awful, he's definitely not worth the price paid for him or the contact he's been given. Rest of his trades I would say have been fair value or done a good job on. (Ellis trade, Niskanen trade, etc)
Also I think a 3rd for Braun was market value. I mean he's not even starting in the playoffs for the Rangers. I'm curious to who you think went for more that's similar to Braun. There could be someone I've over looked.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Philly is in just such bad shape that it’s almost impossible to fix, and by the looks of it we are about to blow up the team and move a bunch of picks to maybe be a bubble team.
Right now I think depending who we draft we have to move a top paid player filling that position.
<strong>If we land Wright, Cooley, Savoie, I’d plug them in 2C and move coots or Hayes.
If we land Nemec I think Provorov will be gone.</strong></div></div>
That part I don't agree on. The Flyers did something similar back when Patrick was drafted. Schenn was traded to make room for Patrick, expecting him to become the 2C. While the return of that trade was still good at the time, it caused more issues down the line. Since Patrick didn't grow into the 2C role, they were forced to bring in Hayes if they wanted to compete. I think whoever they draft needs to show they can fill that role first.
And if things don't work out this coming up seasons, you can almost be sure they will blow this up. In which case Hayes, Coots, and/or Provy are likely gone anyways.

Since Fedotov will be 25 as of September 15 of this year, I believe he would still receive a 1 year contract, but it wouldn't be a two-way but a one-way (I could be wrong on that). So he'll earn the same amount of money in the AHL or NHL. So those three goalies you mention didn't sign those contracts to get paid faster (though they do like that), but because of the rules of an ELC. They all got the max $ amount for their ELC but the years were determined by their age of when they signed the contact.

You can make an argument that TK and Boeser are more or less around the same value. There might be bias with me but I'd rather have TK since he's still under contract for another 3 years and was still less than what Boeser was making this year.
And I don't think Rathbone makes up the difference between the 4th overall pick and the 15th overall pick. Even if Philly wanted a young defender, they'd just draft the player you selected (David Jiricek) who is much younger with a higher potential.
