Thread: In Briere We Trust
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div>Did you smoke crack before you made this Hayes trade? Lol. Ok kidding a bit but really that the Hayes trade is so far off. The Flyers would have to pay much more that just a prospect to dump Hayes. The Jackets have no interest in trading Ceulemans. Zero. Plus you want our second which is going to be 34th OA? Not happening.</div></div>

Ok then, no deal it is. Surprising Ceulemans is untouchable when he hasn't impressed since his draft year, and you've got Jiricek and Boqvist already in the NHL. Looked more like an interesting trade chip prospect, given his average production at Wisconsin. He's not a bust at his age but he's also just not a sure thing, and neither is 34th OA.

Disagree calling Hayes a dump, especially not with the salary retention. Flyers are not in cap hell, and this isn't some Trevor Hoffman situation. Maybe you're right that Jarmo won't part with any picks or prospects though. In that case, the rumors must be nonsense, and Hayes just goes elsewhere for a similar type of return.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Epic_Ninja_Dude</b></div><div>Canucks fans would say decline. Front office wouldn't be tempted either. No chance the Canucks 2023 1st will be moved unless it's in a deal for one of Fox, Makar, McAvoy, Jiricek, or Nemec (none of which will happen).</div></div>

Agreed, you don't get any of those players for what's likely to be #9 or #10 OA. You also don't get to cap dump your way out of cap hell without paying a steep price either. I get the preference for keeping the pick, but isn't the prevalent rumor that the Canucks are "not rebuilding?"

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Uhh no. Wing is the last of the Blues' needs and you're not getting that 1st.</div></div>

Then why are the Blues taking flyers on Kapanen at 3.2M and Vrana? That says otherwise how they feel about wing. Don't disagree that the pick is valuable though. You just have to pay something to get a PPG player. If the Blues are going with a deeper, longer-term rebuild, then keeping the pick makes sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WeWentBlues19</b></div><div>Trying to think outside the box on a Tarasenko trade. This deal saves the Flyers a year on Voracek and two years on Ghost (who was unclaimed on waivers last season).

Blues make a hockey trade and get some futures at the cap hit that Tarasenko and an extended Dunn would likely get. The amount of retention on Voracek is negotiable.</div></div>

More likely is a simple 1 for 1 of Tarasenko for Voracek. Flyers taking the gamble that Tarasenko can heal up, at least somewhat, and that the move 'shakes up' the top 6 sufficiently. Blues take the slightly bigger, slightly longer contract to get a consistent playmaker. Makes sense both ways.

Flyers will not dump Ghost as a pure salary move. Our powerplay is trash without him, in fact.
