Thread: Things I would do to get Jacob Trouba 1.0
I could be wrong about this, but I think WInnipeg is at once flattered an annoyed by your offer. On the one hand, it's a huge overpayment, what with the top prospect and two first round picks in a deep draft, and a capable fill-in who is just three minutes short of playing as good defense as Trouba.

On the other hand, they're trying to win right away. They want NHL players to help them do that. You've given them a lot of cap space, but the UFA market at right D, after the two superstars, is empty this summer. It's a tough call.

More importantly, this thread did not live up to the "What would you do for a Klondike bar" reference in the title. I fully expected a list of embarrassing stunts and hijinks you would perform if the Flyers would trade for Trouba.

Thread: deadline deals...nothing major
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>So have you given up on the Flyers making the playoffs? Cause those picks are rather insignificant and the trades without immediate help just help the Flyers get a better lottery pick.</i></div></div>

I know you are surprised by this but look at the standings. There are three teams within 1 or two points that have 3-5 games in hand so we are already behind them in the standings if you base it off of points %. I think if the defense improves even the slightest then yes they could still make the playoffs, but I'm not holding my breath on that, and honestly the only guy he is trading that could help this team is Streit. Everyone else is scratched every other day so it doesn't necessarily make them worse.
