<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>TK has scored 30 goals. He is not a 30 goal scorer.
I don’t understand why you can’t fathom this?

Calling a player a 30 Goal scorer Implies it’s happened multiple times and it’s what you should expect from that player.

Saying he’s scored 30 goals implies it’s happened once and it can be assumed he is capable of reaching that level again but it’s not a guaranty.

TK has 1 30 goal season, yea he also has a bunch of mid 20’s seasons and puts up very solid numbers no doubt. can he score 30 again? Yes! Is it all but assured the team that trades for him is getting 30 goals next year? No.

That’s the difference.

As for your comparisons, you make far too many valid points and yea I think I concede that portion of the argument. I think I’m undervaluing him to much and that’s not fair so my apologies there.</div></div>

Yeah, it's really not that complicated, but Philly is always gonna Philly. TK is a career 20 goal scorer with a career high at 30. It's that simple.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldSchool</b></div><div>Oilers fans are overrating their prospects and picks because their prospect pool is below average and they currently don't have a 2023 first.

Gautheir
Number 7 overall pick
York
Foerster
Number 22 pick

Those are currently the Flyers top 5 prospects. Broberg would slide into the 3rd or 4th spot either just above or below York. Bourgault or Holloway wouldn't even be top 5 after the Flyers pick someone at 22 and would be 7th at best if Broberg were included in the deal.

People also don't seem to understand the difference between a team actively shopping someone and other teams calling trying to get them. If a team like the Oilers wants a TK who the Flyers would trade but also would gladly keep they have to pay a premium and make it worth their while. Detroit fans here have already said they would give up 17, 43, and Zadina for TK which is quite simply a better offer than a 2024 first, Broberg, and Bourgault.</div></div>

Thankfully, Detroit fans are not Stevie Y.
