Thread: Screwin' Around - Trades w/ MIN, OTT
Sadly there's no way outside of injury that MacDonald comes out of the lineup. The coaching staff, for whatever reason, just values him too much. The Dumba deal is probably a little too rich for me. I think you could get away with Gudas Simmonds and a 2nd that becomes a 1st if he re-signs with the Wild.

I love Stone, probably the most underrated winger in the league right now. Posts great underlying numbers to go along with his solid point production. He's basically a right wing version of Couturier but he never gets brought up for the Selke because he isn't a center. Kinda how Hossa always got passed over when he was in his prime. I just have a feeling Sanheim is gonna be something special so I'm reluctant to include him any trade unless it's just too good of an offer to pass up. With Ottawa's front office being so poorly run who knows, you could probably replace Sanheim with someone like Friedman or Morin and they might take it if you change out the 3rd for a 2nd or something along those lines.

Thread: Hextall's plan *no high end signings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Strictly because of how weak the FA market is this season, Bozak and CDH are probably making at least $1M more than what you've offered. Not necessarily a problem considering how this setup for the Flyers has literally a Brink's Truck of cap space.

Do you reckon there's a market for Philly to acquire a bonafide goaltender for this season and next? Hart/Lyon most likely aren't NHL-starter calibre for a few years still and that's effectively the only piece this team is lacking moving forward. Like if Columbus stinks beyond belief this year, is acquiring Bobrovsky for prospects on the Flyers' radar?</div></div>

I figured coming off shoulder surgery and only playing in 33 games last year de Haan may get a slight raise but I can't imagine Bozak making more than his previous contract when he was in the prime of his career. Goalie is the big "what if" scenario. If the team checks in on Neuvirth this summer and they go back to Hextall and say look this guy is still going to be injured more often than not next year we need to get another goalie I think they first consider Lyon. With Elliott coming off a year where he had significant core surgery I wouldn't be surprised if they look to bring in someone like Hutton or Lehner. They won't bring in anyone long term that would impeded Hart's ability to move up the depth chart.

Thread: Flyers Fans, Let Me Know Your Thoughts (Vegas Fans Too)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>I am a not a Flyers fan, but correct me if I am wrong on this depth chart assessment of RHD, and I am not including any most-recent draft picks. Gostisbehere, Gudas, Sanheim, McDonald, Myers, am I wrong? That is 4 NHL-calibre defensemen ahead of him.</div></div>

When I said RHD I meant right handed not right side. Ghost Gudas and AMac all play the right side but I'm fairly certain Myers can leap both Gudas and AMac over the coming season. Gudas is coming off a "meh" regular season and a disastrous playoff series against the Pens. Myers is next in line to make the jump from the AHL to NHL in the Flyers roster. With Hextall potentially looking to move Gudas's $3.5 AAV and his public stmt's confirming the team needs a quality RHD I just don't see them moving Myers until they see what he can/can't do at the NHL level.
