Thread: A torts type of retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mintyfresh</b></div><div>Burakovsky benefitted heavily from the talent on the Avalanche and scored less goals than JVR last year. Obviously Burakovsky is better than JVR, but if its the goal scoring just keep JVR at 7 mil for one more year instead of overpaying Burakovsky for a longer term. Would rather just keep that cap open to go towards a better signing in the future than sign Burakovsky is my point. Burakovsky doesn't help this team enough to justify fitting in his 7 mil cap hit for 6 more years.

For the record, I'm not saying its a terrible move or anything. I'm more just saying its a complementary move. If we really retooled and figured out a way to get a top talent like Johnny or someone like that then you figure out a way to make space for another guy like Burakovsky on the 2nd line, but at this moment just adding Burakovsky isn't going to move the needle that much so might as well just keep the cap available for a real game changer signing/trade.</div></div>

I mean, the goal scoring is what I'd like from him mainly, but he also obviously brings way more to the table than JVR. Hes a better playmaker, 5v5 player, younger, and just about better at everything at this stage of JVR's career. As for Burakovsky playing with a better team, fair enough. For what its worth though, I think he would've put up way more goals and points if he got to play on the top pp unit.

Thread: Post Torts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capalot_Hawk_19</b></div><div>Don't think Kadri makes much sense here. look how much money is down the middle, if they trade JVR I think they'd want a winger more, or maybe a defenseman, but they have Risto and Ellis. Man, Philley is in a bad situation rn lmao.</div></div>

I really don't think Gaudreau or Forsberg leave, or I would've done one of them. Flyers ownership is incredibly desperate for a win of an offseason, so they're going to overpay for a big name. Definitely hate the price tag, but I do find it appealing to have a that center depth.

As for Ellis, if he's healthy, he's a real good dman. People hate on Risto an unreal amount, I think he's whatever. Not worth 5 mil, but I never thought he was as bad as all stats and people on the internet say.

Overall, a maybe wildcard team, but with the contracts that are already here, p much have to just go for it.

Thread: What I took from press conference
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>I'm fairly sure I already know the answer to this, but what would the availability be on Farabee? If he is available, what would the price look like?

And yes, I know that he is probably unavailable, but he is a very annoying pest like player who I would love see on the Canes. Kind of like a Trocheck replacement of sorts.</div></div>

Everything around the team would make it seem like he's "untouchable" right now. He's signed for decent term, he's shown a willingness to get out of his comfort zone by playing center, he fights for the team even though he really shouldn't, has shown great hockey iq, and Fletcher/Scott have repeatedly brought his name up when discussing the Flyers core
