Thread: Briere blows it up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roperttos</b></div><div>ABD was also 24 at the time and already had two 40 goal seasons under his belt and was a RFA, so part of his value was because there was room for improvement and the controllability with his contract. Konecny will be a UFA in 1 year and has reached his prime which will lower his value in this case compared to ABD. That trade has also pretty much set the market price for wingers. I doubt a team is willing to even give up 3 good pieces now that Konecny has only 1 year left and has reached his prime. Maybe a team is willing to give a pretty high pick for Konecny but I wouldn't expect them to give too much more on top of that depending on the pick. One of the big value drivers last summer was TK's cheap contract that a team could get for 2 years and now there's only 1 year left on it.</div></div>

ADB also forced a trade which didn’t help with value. And I disagree that TK has reached his prime I think he would be hitting 80+ easily on a team like Toronto or someone with a real top line. But we can agree to disagree and I appreciate ur insight

Thread: I still dont understand this team

at the expense of our biggest weakness, flyers need centers, and won't be trading them unless it is for a significant upgrade or to get out from the couturier contract. especially a center like frost, he is the only player on the team who can create anything from nothing. poehling just signed an extension, he's not getting moved

goaltending (shockingly) isn't a need. ersson has simply been burnt through the ground. when he gets 40+ hours rest, he has a .910, anything else he's a .885 (stats were from a few days ago so have changed, but reasoning still holds true). with a legit backup/1B (which fedotov/kolosov will be), this won't be an issue

graves is alright, but again, not a significant need given that LHD for next year are york, sanheim, seeler, zamula, andrae, and ginning. next to no need to add a middle pair dman who's signed for 5 more years given that they won't need him in 2 years time
