Thread: Giroux Deadline Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>Nick Foligno got a first and a fourth last year if the only difference between him and G is moving up a mid round pick theres something very off about the market</div></div>

There is something wrong with the deadline rental market…there’s a clear cap. You can tell me until you’re blue in the face that lesser players got almost as much, but you’re going to have a really hard time funding more than one or two players that ever got more. Duchene is probably going to be as close as you get, which was a 1st, and a conditional first. That said, it wound up being just the first, an exchange of low level prospects.

So it seems pretty simple to me, the floor is to high, and the ceiling is too low for rental prices.

Thread: B2B2B Bolts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Imback123</b></div><div>For the BILLIONTH time ...why would 1 team make a decision based on Tampa situation? Teams are competing for assets with the OTHER 30 teams ...it is not a 1-1 negotiation... it is market price for 30 teams when dealing with Tampa ... it's called business 101 ... if you dont understand this concept ...never get a real job</div></div>

yes, there are 30 other teams, but all 30 of them know TB is hamstrung with their cap right now. Even if they don't want to talk to Philly, no other team is going to give them a true 1 to 1 trade. TB screwed themselves in future years to win this year. That's the reality, and now they have to pain stakingly begin to pay for it.

oh, and I have a real job just so you know
