There are so many things about this that are awful / make 0 sense. Let's go through them one at a time:


1. Dwight King, an overrated grinder at 3 years for 2,4000,000 is just another Dale Weise contract - terrible.


2. In a league that is getting constantly faster, and a team that is going to be built around youth, you want to bring in million-year-old Jarome Iginla who can literally not skate anymore


3. You absolutely will not get Justin Williams for that contract. He is going to command more money and a little more term than that


4. Patrick Marleau is still good, but he is 37 years old. You want to hand out a 5M, 3 year contract? That's just asking for another Vinny situation all over again.


5. You will absolutely not get Ghost for 2 years at 2.5. Someone would offer sheet him on a much much better contract than that


6. You want to draft and immediately start an 18 year old rookie D man when we have Morin/Sanheim/Hagg/Myers all waiting to come up to the big club. This makes less than 0 sense and has a less than 0 % chance of happening.


7. Vegas isn't going to take Read because of his contract unless we entice them somehow.


8. You want to trade Couturier, one of the premier shut-down centres in the league and an elite penalty killer who scores at a greater 5 on 5 pace than most Flyers forwards for a second round pick. This is probably the stupidest part of your entire post. This would be one of the biggest fleecings of all time. Couturier is an unbelievably underrated centre who is on an affordable contract, and would be worth a great haul in any real trade. You want to trade him for a 2nd... a 2nd round pick...


9. Colorado wouldn't trade Landeskog (a player the Flyers don't need) for Schenn (one of the Flyers' most productive young PP goal scorers).




I'm honestly almost impressed, literally every single move you made is absolutely terrible / insanely unrealistic.
