I don't believe VGK will give up any of their top 10 prospects (they have a relatively thin prospect pool this early in their history)....Dugan is their 15th rated prospect (good size and speed according to scouting reports)....I couldn't see anyone else to be thrown into a trade....I think the Flyers can get a 1st out of Vegas if the bidding war starts up between teams....Simmonds' production has taken a downturn, even though I believe his 5on5 play has improved....

If Vegas offers a 1st I think it would be a conditional 1st....if they make the Conference Final/Stanley Cup or Simmonds were to resign....I can't see any playoff bound team giving up a good piece of their team right before the playoffs....chemistry going into the postseason is important.

I also think Fletcher looks for a Simmonds replacement in FA in the offseason.

Philly doesn't want Brandon Manning back.

Thread: Simmonds to WSH

I read that Gersich was WSH's 15th ranked prospect. I'm not sold that Gersich would be the player involved in a deal, just a prospect in that range based on ranking. I think Simmonds value is a little underestimated due to the fact that he's on the 3rd line right now....but his 5 on 5 play has improved....he's no longer just a PP threat.

Thread: Simmonds to San Jose GudasRaffl to Vegas

Then the second move is out :) I forgot about the 3 limit....I do believe if the Flyers want a better return on Simmonds they'll have to retain salary on his contract.

Thread: New faces in Philly

I wouldn't pay Bob for 7 years at $9 million if you have Hart (with the way the kid is playing now)….Hart is the starter for the foreseeable future....Bob would be a waste of financial resources.

I'd rather keep Morin.

Thread: Well I think we can all agree Hart is going to be an elite goalie

The Flyers have had rookie goalies show a lot of potential their first season, Dominic Roussel, Tommy Soderstrom, Brian Boucher, Roman Cechmanek, Bob - all lasted 2-3 years never improving. Roussel, Soderstrom, Boosh, Bob all traded....Cechmanek - turned into a freakin headcase....I have more confidence in Hart them any of those guys....I believe he's the answer to the PHI goaltending problems, but they have to surround him in order for the team to succeed.

Thread: Well I think we can all agree Hart is going to be an elite goalie

I think Carter Hart is going to be an exceptional goaltender. Right now the NHL has no "book" on him. They're finding his weaknesses game by game. His positioning is sound, his aggressiveness is on point....right now there's little flaw in his game. I'm hoping that he improves from here. I'm hoping our management gives him the time (unlike Homer did with Bob - which may have been a Snider move) to develop his game properly in the NHL.

That's a damn good lookin' D corp on that roster.

Are you getting enough for Voracek though? I'm not familiar with Carolina's prospects. What would the protections on the 1st round look like?

Thread: What to do with Simmonds

I put Nieto in the COL deal just as a salary dump type move. If COL bring Simmonds in they may have to shed salary to re-sign him.

You want to give up 3 former first round picks plus a future first round pick for a guy who's on your third line and can be had in the offseason? Are you Bobby Clarke?

Thread: Finding Center

Problem is, if Holmgren starts running the show in the interim - you're looking at possibly going back to the old way of Flyers' thinking....trading youth for over priced, past their prime vets....

Thread: Flyers EK

I'd put that deal on par with the Sixers trading Fultz, Saric, and 3 1sts for a guy, Kawhi Leonard, who could balk at signing an extension with the team and they lose him for nothing. It's a gamble that Hexy can't afford to take.

That's my bad Dingle. I misread your statement. You are correct Hexy shouldn't go JVR on a Simmonds deal. I apologize for that

Thread: JVR! Sorry everyone but he is off the market!

If Dreger has Panarin as a good fit for PHI you'd think Simmonds would have to be in a deal for him, right?

Dingle - how can you say Simmer wouldn't get more then $5.75 mil? JVR is getting 7 for exactly TWO 30 goal and 60 point seasons in his career. He and Simmonds, both 29, have almost the same track record for careers. Simmonds in 7 years has 350 points....JVR in six years has just under 300.

Thread: JVR! Sorry everyone but he is off the market!

Knowing they have JVR coming back...this lowers Simmonds trade value because other GMs can low ball offers for him or simply wait till they can get him for nothing in the next off-season.

Thread: JVR! Sorry everyone but he is off the market!

5 years, $7 mil per....I think we will see Simmonds dealt. Hextall can't hand out two contracts like that.... Can he?

Thread: Wayne Simmonds

I don't think negotiations will go well with Simmonds' agent. He represents Oshie who got a 7-year deal worth $46 million. I can't see Hextall giving out a contract of that length and that amount. I think Simmonds gets traded.

I don't think you're allowed to trade a signed RFA for one year. So Fabbri & MTL would have to have something worked out beforehand...

Thread: Making use of the Assets

If we're paying $1.5 million of Simmonds salary it should fit just fine when the cap rises.

Thread: Kessel-Domi centric deal take 2

I would imagine ARZ, if they were dumb enough to trade their 1st & Domi for Kessel, would require future picks back from PIT. You're not trading a #5 pick and a young 20-something year old with potential for a 30 year old winger - who on ARZ probably won't put up the points expected because of the talent difference. I think ARZ would pass on that deal.

Thread: Would these moves be plausible...EDM, DET, MIN, MTL

Edmonton is rumored to be in the Tavares sweepstakes so they'll have to free up money somehow. If Tavares is going to cost a team $10+ million a season, someone like Drai will have to be moved. Why not re-coup it in prospects and picks, I was going to put both firsts and next years first in there as well? They have just about $10 million in space with only 16 guys signed for next season.

As far as the DET trade....I haven't been keeping up as much this season with the Phantoms as I usually have....so Phil Varone is a mystery to me, but with our center depth, it should make him expendable.
