Thread: Who says no
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HBK2016</b></div><div>Don't listen to these goofs.

This would quite possibly be the biggest deadline trade package in the history of the modern NHL. Almost nobody ever gets a return of multiple 1st rounders at the deadline, let alone with 2 decent prospects. This is more than Tampa gave up for Ryan McDonagh and JT Miller at the deadline combined. This is more than the Rangers gave up to acquire Marty St. Louis.

Not saying this trade is likely, but the value is too much, if anything</div></div>

Philly ain’t taking the Campbell contract for starters. That in itself is worth a first to take it. So then it becomes a 1st (which will be late with how good the Oilers are) and two prospects I’m not familiar with. Shame on me if they’re good because I genuinely don’t know, but my gut says if I don’t know em then it’s prob for a reason.

Thread: throw in an extra 1st rp bc Im a leaf fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Killa93</b></div><div>I know this is armchair gm and all of the leafs players are trash on here but Nylander has been consistently scoring 30 plus goals for the past 3 years and the past two years has scores 80 plus points. Last year scored 40 goals. Every team in the nhl will choose Nylander with his cap hit over Konecny and his cap hit. They are two different styles of players so if a team is cap strapped and needs more grit then yes, Konecny is their guy. But don’t worry, throw in a 1st rp and that should sort that out lol</div></div>

I’m not discrediting Nylander and his skill. Guy is the only one who consistently performs in the playoffs for them. But you need to look at what the Flyers are trying to do and find a match. Sending Konecny with retention for Nylander they still won’t take, because the end goal is to get high picks (especially in this loaded draft), so this adds more chores for the Flyers to turn these players into other assets.

Reports say both Konecny and Laughton can fetch 1sts in their own deals, that’s a much better way to get value then the deal above.

The trade doesn’t make sense for the Flyers, simple as that.
