Thread: Flyers offseason outs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roperttos</b></div><div>Why? What do you find interesting about him in Anaheim.</div></div>

His defensive game has improved markably in Philly, it went from a weakness to a strength, at least in the advanced stats category.

Size and the ability to skate 20 minutes a night helps too, would be a good 2nd line defensive D for one of our youngsters.

Yeah, he's overpaid for what he brings, but that's not an issue in Anaheim for the duration of his contract.

I dunno, Boston 2nd and a B prospect, maybe Helleson to resupply RHD. Certainly not what you paid for him, but you also paid for a top pairing all around D, and paid him as such contract wise, and he's a 2nd line guy with minimal offense left.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>johum7</b></div><div>york-sanheim/seeler-drysdale/zamula-attard/ginning-andrae, is what i think the ideal scenario is for next year

the trade certainly is a net positive for the flyers in terms of value but chychrun is similar to sanheim and york in that he is a fringe 2D/good 3D. no need to add him when sanheim is signed long-term and york &amp; chychrun are both due extensions. if york wanted out? then yea move him for chychrun, but i wouldn't want all 3 of them on the roster when the other 6 should be getting minutes as well</div></div>

im not a flyers fan so I cant really attest to it, but would seeler not be more ideally suited for a third-pair role on a playoff team? Like he has performed incredibly well in his deployments this year to the point where I totally get why he could play second pair, but would it not be more beneficial to upgrade from zamula to chychrun then just slide the depth down with regards to building a competitive roster? And as much as i think york has a lot of potential as a top 4 defender, i thought getting insulation for that top pair LD role might allow him to really blossom

Thread: What are trade targets or FA signings to fit timeline of this team
Zegras and Lundell are my very clear top-2 targets for trades, followed shortly behind by Mittelstadt. I don't think a lot of these guys would even be available necessarily, but some other players I'd be willing to throw out somewhere between a big and massive offer for would be Necas, Thomas, Wright, Lambert, Mercer, K.Johnson. Main point being: they need a U25 Center with clear top-6 potential.

Outside of that, not much at all in terms of roster players. Maybe if a big winger on a decent contract is available you kick the tires on him, Hanafin is an interesting option as a long term partner for Drysdale but that's about it on D.

For the draft, some guys I like who I think could be available in the 20-50 range (where we will have a few picks): Artamonov, Shuravin, Chernyshov (can you tell I like the Russians lmao), Greentree, Hutson, Kiviharju, Mews and Jiricek. The one other thing I'll say about the draft is this: Demidov is going to fall <em>way</em> harder than people might think come draft day, when he's inevitably there in that 11-15 range Briere should do everything in his power to move up and grab him. A decade + of Demidov + Michkov would be the most talent this team has had on a line since the Legion of Doom
