<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM_123</b></div><div>Welcome to CapFriendly ACGM. Unfortunately, everybody on this site believes Joseph is a bum and wouldn't take on his contract for less than a 1st as a sweetener.</div></div>

I think you need to balance the cost of not having Pinto in the lineup versus the cost of moving Joseph, as well as losing Joseph. I think the Flyers have a relatively low marginal cost to using the available salary cap space on Joseph, but with few teams willing and able to absorb Joseph's contract (or Kubalik/Brannstrom), the markets will reward scarcity. I'd do any trade for him with a middle round pick attached personally, but feel that the Flyers will be able to leverage their ask with few options available to Ottawa. Joseph as a player is a solid bottom-sixer and great penalty killer, but Ottawa has limited leverage in any deal.

Thread: Winnipeg flyers would you do this
I’m in the minority here 10000%

I made a post about Jets needing a culture change, it seems like Chevy has no sense of direction for the team. Like are they going all in?? No he’s not really making any moves to do that, it’s more like he just wants them to be a team battling for the wildcard spot. They need to make a choice now what they need to do. In my opinion, they either need to just commit to being all in now, or start a quick rebuild. I honestly think the flyers should say no to this before wpg should. Flyers would lose a lot of d depth without provorov. They already have Hayes, Couturier and Giroux that can all play in the top 6. You have to play Hayes in a top 6 role with his contract. I do think the Jets also decline but it’s a lot closer than some will think.

Thread: Isnt it time
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roscoe</b></div><div>Great insight!
you are right about everything
I think my only reason for trading Couts and G was to maybe change the culture
I also think G will be there for life and Im ok with him accepting a role on the third line(eventually) along with Jake. It would be a good third line
Having faith? thats all us Flyer fans have. I do miss the mid eighties- Poulin, Tocchet, Sinasalo, Kerr, Howe, Zezel, Mellanby, Sutter and Propp</div></div>

Personally I think a culture change has already started within the team especially during the regular season we saw that. You hear the players saw how close the team is with each other and you never heard anyone say that while Hak was coach. Hayes has been a breath of fresh air in the room. I think a somewhat toxic culture was brought in by Hextall and this is the first season completely separated from him in the organization. He did a great job of drafting and giving players time to develop but it seems like he lost sight of what Mr.Snider wanted and that was to make sure that The Flyers organization was more than just a business and that it was a family. The culture is changing with the youth movement being fully underway. I'm not ready to pack it in yet I believe this group can get something done maybe it won't be this year but soon. We've seen to many players move on and go on to win the cup don't want to see it happen with these guys.
