Thread: Rumored NSH Trade
Both Zamula and Frost are too good for an Ekholm deal along with a 1st. I think one of them could be in an Arvidsson deal along with a 1st. I’m not sure downgrading one of those 1st rd picks is worth upgrading a B/C prospect to Frost or Zamula.

Other things to think about, this decimates the ELC talent when Patrick, Farabre, and Sanheim will all need pay raises within 2 years without any big deal coming off the books. And none of this makes sense from an expansion perspective. You either go 4-4-1 and lose one of TK/Lindholm/Patrick/Arvidsson or 7-3-1 and lose one of Ekholm/Myers/Sanheim, Seattle probably doesn’t take a 32 year old winger making more than 7 mil with term. Add that lost player to the cost and PHI gets set back quite a bit.

This is the beginning of the window. No need to put the team in this much of a pickle and throw all the chips in now. Fletcher made a big mistake with expansion last time and I can bet he won’t make the same one twice.

Thread: Laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mulletmario7</b></div><div>My thinking with having Sanheim be the center piece is that with guys like zamula and a lil ways down the line york and maybe wyatt wylie coming up it wouldn't be that big of a hole to fill naturally. Also I think myers has a better chance to be the #2 dman then Sanheim does. Something about his (myers) game with his size skill and speed makes we think he has a higher ceiling then Sanheim.

Also just saw the friedman report that they want a rhd so maybe they could work a trade around Niskanen +++ (frost would have to be included with maybe someone like laughton who can play center along with picks obv). Jets would be getting more nhl experienced players to mix in with their core plus young pieces in Frost and picks... Just more a spitball idea</div></div>

I sort of feel that this is the start of the Flyers window and taking out a key piece from the D sets us back a way while guys like York and Zamula develop (it's taken 3 and 4 seasons for us to really getting to a point of real confidence in Sanheim and Provorov).

As to the Myers/Sanheim thing, flip a coin I think. I don't think Myers will ever have Sanheim's IQ and vision, but they're both great pieces.
