Thread: Retool continued while trying to remain somewhat competitive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>canucksfan43</b></div><div>So if say next year we regress like you say, why on earth woudl we trade one of our best propesct for an average defensemen making 6.5 mil for the next few years. Buchnevich makes sense for the Canucks but Faulk and downgrading Garland to kapanen makes zero sense when Garland has been great this year, as for Willander hes not on the table at all, you wouldnt trade Dvorksy and we wont trade Willander. Give your head a shake bud</div></div>

I didnt say you WILL regress I say it can happen fast. Ask blues fans. i believe if you have the team and you are ready to win you go for it. I would think Willander is at minimum 2 years away.

I looked at Garland like you guys may want to get out of that contract. You sure did before the season. Kapanen is a bit bigger, very fast and fesity. He would fit well with Joshua and Blueger. I dont even want Garland in the deal to be honest. I was trying to make the $ work.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bogdown</b></div><div>I don't know where you are getting your scouting reports on the Canucks from but maybe you should turn on the TV and watch a Canucks game. Garland is not for trade, Willander is a stud and Myers is having a better year than Faulk. Cope a little harder, not selling the future for those guys</div></div>

Cope a little harder? Lmao! We would be giving up the two best players in the deal. No doubt in my mind. When Tyler Myers coughs one up at the wrong time in the playoffs and the Canucks are out (like he has done his entire career) come back and see me. I wouldnt mind having Willander as a future partner for Lindstein who is played with at the WJC but I wont lose an ounce of sleep over it. There are other players out there. He may or may not pan out and I suppose if they really wanted Willander that much they would have just drafted him but instead they picked him Dvorsky with the 10th pick last year.

By the way you ought to think about selling the future. You've never won jack and you got the team this year. No guarantee your team even plays well next year or the year after and you are in a division where the VGK will do everything they can to win and you play against the best player on the planet. When you have the team go for it. Your window can close real freakin quick.

Thread: Predicting where every player gets traded to
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Is every insider being used then? Freidman, Seravalli, Pagnotta, etc have all talked about various flyers players over the last week. So is Danny using all of them or are they all helping Danny? Hard to believe they are all doing Danny favors for no reason, that’s almost as ridiculous as the Blues fans meltdown on here lol. Again, since u think I personally impact the NHL market I will tell u again since I didn’t understand the first time, I PERSONALLY don’t impact the NHL market, only GMs do that. I remember when Blues fans on here said the Provy would barely get traded for a 3rd when the mock trades were going around for him and look how that turned out lol. Everyone is used to pushing Chuck Fletcher around in trades, maybe just MAYBE the Flyers have a competent GM who set a value for his players and is sticking to it and insiders are just reporting what they know and aren’t all lying in a big conspiracy to help the flyers lol, maybe Bettman is in on it! 😂😂😂</div></div>

Lol what are you talking about man....who ever said or would believe you impact anything. One thing is clear you are one of the Flyers fans that think Travis Konecny is basically untouchable worth multiple firsts and prospects without taking back any $. He has never produced anything in the playoffs and isnt that great. He is part of the core that does nothing but lose.

Torey Krug who everyone considers overpaid and a cap dump has basically kept pace with him on the score sheet since 2016-2017 when Konecny came in to the league. Krug has 13 less pts in 28 less games. Yes, Krug is overpaid by about 2-2.5 mil per but Konecny is no world beater. A first and a prospect like Perunovich, Bolduc or Neighbors is more then fair for this player and if its not I think Danny B will be hanging on to him for a while longer. Im confident he wont get a better deal from the Blues unless he eats a contract.

Danny Briere can ask for whatever he wants and leak it to the "insiders" doesnt mean he gets it. That doesnt mean the insiders are helping Danny that means they are doing there jobs and leaking information.

Any Blues fan that thought Provorov would move for a third is silly. He is a top 4 defenseman worse case scenario.

Tell me what do you think TK moves for from the Blues and/or another organization? I think you look at what Fiala was dealt in the offseason and thats your comp and he was coming off an 85 point season. Id rather have Fiala.

Thread: Predicting where every player gets traded to
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>These are probably pretty close, seems like Hayes is a mystery tho. I will say it has been utterly hilarious watching Blues fans have a meltdown over the last 12 hours. Apparently their GM never lies and is honest with everything he says and at the same time the insiders always lie and are never honest, too funny.</div></div>

What’s funny is Flyers fans who all of a sudden think Sanheim/Konecny/Laughton/Provorov are all worth 2-3 1st rounders if not more when none of them have ever produced anything in the playoffs or won anything together.

This core was awful and now all of a sudden on the trade market as they are all superstars.

Let’s take Konecny for example an undersized winger with 2 years left at 5.5 who has produced a whopping 1 goal in 22 career playoff games and y’all want 2 1st round picks + top prospects and other assets. For his career averages anywhere from high 40s to low 60s point totals. What gives?

Pavel Buchnevich was acquired for a 2nd and Blais.
Fiala a 1st and a college prospect Faber

What makes Konecny worth any more then these guys
