Thread: PHI deals for Size and vets
Hagg has done nothing to warrant a significant pay raise. If he wants to come back I think Fletcher offers him something in the 2x$1.5M max.

If the Flyers find any team willing to take JVR's deal it's going to come with a demand for a high draft pick. With Fletcher stating he doesn't see the team being big players in FA for the next couple years I don't see a reason they need to rush to move JVR. At worst they can work out a deal with Seattle at the expansion draft next year.

And the Ghost for Reaves trade makes zero sense to me. If they do move on from Ghost I think it'll be a player for picks deal so they can get full cap relief and potentially bring in a 3C if they don't feel confident with Patrick or Frost going into next year. But I go back Fletcher's statement about not being that active in FA. I think they slow play this over the next year and see what a lot of these young guys can do (Patrick Frost Allison Laczynksi Zamula Farabee Friedman Sandin).

Last point, Shattenkirk is getting way more than what you have him signed for.

Thread: PHILLY with Trouba and TOR deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Possibly, but that's a lot to give up for rights, a high 1st rounder, a solid/cheap 3rd pairing defender and Sandstrom might not be the piece, (maybe forward Strome) but hes a very good prospect, but Myers instead of Hagg is a large price to pay, especially since WPG will have to move salaries.

I think a 1st, capable Hagg, a 4th and a good prospect like Strome is quite a good deal for "rights".

For me Trouba is a expensive ticket, that quite a few clubs couldn’t fit in salarywise.

The offer I put together: is a 1st (13th overall I think), and Hagg is worth a low 2nd IMO, and Strome or Sandstrom in trade would definitely catch a low 1st rounder or early 2nd, (and are closer to the pros), so really I see Trouba’s rights in this deal as:

Trouba’s rights for two 1sts, a 2nd and a 4th, that’s a pretty fair deal</div></div>

I think Hagg's value sits more around a mid 3rd early 4th right now. But we all know GM's drool over guys like him and will gladly overpay. Myers while showing he likely has the tools to excel at the NHL is still an unproven commodity. You know what you're getting with Trouba, someone who can slide in and hopefully be Provorov or Sanheim's partner for the next 5-7 years and be a stabilizing first pair guy. As strapped as Winnipeg is with limited cap space I feel like they're only going to move his rights if a team offers them something that checks off a lot of boxes. Otherwise they may be content to let him sign a huge offer sheet and rack up a bunch of future 1sts. Again there is risk on that end to that Winnipeg loses him to team that contends in the short term and the picks turn out to be all late round firsts.
