Thread: Philadelphia Flyers signed Ivan Fedotov (2 Years / $3,275,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>listen to you.
A team should risk 7 million to find a back up goalie...... The F kind of piss poor management is that?
That's how a GM gets fired. stupid decisions like that.
It be one thing if you were over here talking about, yeah we risked 3.5x2 for a guy who might be a 40 goal scorer or something.
But you over here going on about backup goalie.</div></div>

Do you think the Flyers have a legit starter right now? Ersson has been pretty good given the circumstances but do you think the Flyers would be smart to just lean on him for the future? Or would it be smart to try to find another goalie from somewhere? You might think he deserves less but this is evidently the money he wanted to come over to NA. 3.25 isn’t really that much and it’s basically nothing considering we now have less that 5 million for our goalies for the next 2 years. Thinking Briere could lose his job over this is a quite laughable.

Thread: Would these work as a basis
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Moss_Bucket</b></div><div>Well if that's the case we can both agree Anaheim isn't moving him. Quite frankly I don't know where the rumors of Zegras being moved came from, but I don't see it happening either. Personally I'm tired of the Zegras to Philly mutterings, because trading futures for potential star power is not going to fix the mess that is Philly.

I still don't think Anaheim would get those big offers though given the missed season, it really does effect trade value, even if just temporary.</div></div>

Frank Seravalli, who's track record on Anaheims going ons is horrible. Then a bunch of local columnists picked it up and ran with it.

I don't see him moving either, he's one of, if not outright, our best offensive weapon. For a team wanting to turn the corner next season, moving him makes zero sense.

We're frankly tired of it too, but it pales in comparison to what Habs fans are doing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Moss_Bucket</b></div><div>Has Boqvist played top pair lately? Don't really follow Blue Jackets but just know he's had a long list of injuries, over thirty updates from CapFriendly, which I know isn't 30 injuries but more or less around 15.

It does look like Johnson is going to be a middle sixer at low and maybe a top 6 or even elite winger at best though. I agree though, this move just wouldn't make sense for either team. Its not the value that's bad, its just the roles that each team need counter act it. Given that we have Drysdale now who is great when healthy but unfortunately injury prone, bringing in another guy like Boqvist who also has injury issues just seems like way too high a risk and losing two middle six guys for someone who may also be a middle six guy but might be more seems like too big of a gamble in my mind.</div></div>

When he's played in the past two months or so, he's most-commonly paired with Werenski on the top pair. He's been unlucky with injuries, one stretch this year he was out because a puck hit him in the face on the bench. and it's probably just listed as "upper-body". Not really his fault, or even being injury-prone (which, he is). Bringing him in with Drysdale almost only makes sense if you're assuming one or the other is injured at all times.
