A lot of "wishful thinking" here. Lots moving but no value being given.

Whilst still young, Thomson was put on waivers, claimed by ANA and subsequently put back on waivers and claimed by OTT again in the span of 48 hours. Not a great look. It also doesn't help that he is still completely lost in the D-zone in Belleville. Offensively he's fine, great shot from the point and good first pass but everything else leaves much to be desired.

Boucher just played his first couple of games after a "groin tweak". He looks okay but still hasn't shown he can be an NHL player. I like his physicality and can understand where the interest comes from on Philly's end, I just can't see them asking for him just because of nepotism.

Jarventie has all the attributes of a solid NHL player in the making. Big, fast and can shoot. Plays all three positions. Downside is he hasn't yet discovered how big he is and has yet to develop "man strength". Didn't do a whole lot when he was called up near the beginning of the year. A work in progress that draws little interest when being traded for a legit top 6 winger.

Kubalik, Brannstrom and MacEwan are all roster throw ins that do little to move the needle to replace what the flyers are losing short and long term. The two first round picks are likely in the mid to high 20's considering Detroit's 1st will be replaced by Boston's first and NYR's first is going to be close to it. Nice to have but you aren't getting anything that'll help your franchise immediately.

You also have to take into consideration that Philly, whilst technically moving towards a rebuild, is in a playoff spot. They really don't need to trade Konecny thus bringing his value even higher.

Personally, I would love Konecny to come back to Ottawa where he played his junior years. One of my favorites growing up. But, the value is non-existent here for the flyers to consider.
