Thread: Revised ACGM for next year
Flyers fan but want to offer some neutral feedback, I find team building so interesting.

Garland as a fit is good, but I don't know why the Canucks would do that to be honest. Yes its less years, but Garland is better and not super old. Nylander and a 2nd isn't enough to take Granlund. Foegle for O'Connor seems lateral to me. Edmundson is an ok pick up but think they should keep Poulin, and I like the Compher 3C. Gurianov idk. Feels similar to when they got Galchenyuk...if it works you look genius, if it doesn't? Not a fan of Parise deal, the Penguins are already so old and I know he's had a good year but the way the Penguins try to play vs NYI fits what Parise is better. He will have the Carter effect, I can guarantee it. Erne is ok as depth.

Think some other FA targets they could explore instead of Gurianov and Parise could be like Kerfoot, Pius Suter, Sundqvist, maybe a Miles Wood reclamation project?

Thread: Year One Picks and Prospects
Don't know too much about the prospects you have them drafting, but do you think that guys ready to be a NHL 3rd line guy? I think they should draft the best player available but I also kinda hope they target RHD and C.

I think Hayes deal is good. Foudy not in the NHL though? Feels like the kind of player they would want Torts to try to "fix" like Frost. Honestly, other than the cap space, I'm not a fan of that return for Laughton. Dude has almost 50 points this year, if they trade him they could definitely get something better than that with his cap hit and term. Those prospects numbers didn't blow me away when I looked here. TDA, the sooner he is gone the better. TK, I really really doubt they trade him, but if they do this return is "ok" to me. Lucius is rated highly but when I looked him I saw his skating is not the best. If he's going to the Hurricanes, I would push to get one of their top RHD prospects personally. Provorov deal, I think its "ok" also. I like Spence, Turcotte if he can have the same Torts effect would look like a good pick up since he's struggled a lot. Kinda wish you could squeeze a bit more out for Petersen since that's a lot of dead cap but overall I like it and want Provorov outta here. Seeler is a good TDL deal I think.

Thread: Feasible rebuildretool moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>Firstly, signing a UFA then flipping him, is something that pretty much never happens, so that's moot with Stecher.

Secondly, this team blows. Unless you're saying that this will be another year of trying to get a top pick, then yes, it's still rebuilding.</div></div>

This is just categorically false, signing a UFA that is then flipped happens all the time. Especially on one year deals. Just from this year: Klingberg, Stetcher, Bjugstad, Motte, Niederreiter, Namestnikov are all examples of 1 or 2 year deals signed this offseason and flipped by the TDL. Unless you are saying the thread starter is saying to sign these guys and immediatley flip them, which is pretty silly of you to interpret when its stated they are deadline deals. You also say "this team blows" as if the Flyers should be trying to win the cup next year. Are you a Flyers fan? If so, do you really think they should be making moves to win the cup next year with how the team is constructed, versus "blowing" and trying to rebuild? If you aren't, are you just being snarky to dunk on them?
