Thread: What would Flyers offer for one of Duch or Stone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>radtad</b></div><div>Honestly, I hope you're right. reading this made me feel better about the position we're in. I think a lot of the franchise feels like they "owe it" to guys like lindblom, myers, morin, etc to integrate them. Especially because the Hextall regime preached keeping the kids over ever taking a chance... and nothing ever happened. The only thing that I still doubt, is that if Voracek is unprotected, he will likely be taken by Seattle. But at this point, there are worse things that could happen...</div></div>

I don't see Seattle taking a 32 or 33 year old 7 or 8 million dollar voracek or jvr honestly. And someone like Rubstov, Farabee, Frost, Laczynski, Wade, Ratcliffe, etc., Etc. Should be able to replace the loss of a Lindblom or whoever. The problem is defense. But there are ways to pay them to take someone else. I just can't fathom passing up a chance at Stone because we are worried about an expansion draft in 2 or 3 years. Those players are rarely available. You add them now and worry about that.problem when the time comes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>radtad</b></div><div>More like Patrick, Konecny, Sanheim, Myers, Ghost, Provorov + the regulars in G, Couts, Voracek, Hart. ... and that doesnt include JVR, Lindblom, or Morin (a former 1st rounder) who would all be exposed.

Not to mention 8.5 mill + for either one of those guys. Of the 8-10 million in space left, you need to sign the following: Patrick, TK, Sanheim, Myers, Provorov all need contracts within 2 years...

Don't you think that is stretching it pretty thin?</div></div>

No I don't. I think you're forgetting you get to keep 7/3/1 if you want. Protect Stone, TK, Patrick, G, Lindblom, Coots, JvR. Use Jake's high cap hit as an auto protection spot. You were never going to protect all the dmen so if you're "budgeting" for them it's pointless. Idk where you get your numbers from but they have $35M in cap space next year. So no they aren't stretching thin even by adding Stone or Duchene, imo. Honestly I'm just not losing sleep over guys like Lindblom when we have probably 10 prospects with similar upside and are already better skaters. Team would be way better off adding Stone now. If letting the worry of a replaceable player getting taken in the expansion prevents you from adding a Selke level winger then that's malpractice on the franchises part.
