Thread: Keeping the team together
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWing9119</b></div><div>That's not near enough to Seattle. You're paying them to ignore better players and take a 32 year old 5'9' 3rd line winger at 5 million for 3 more years, According to everything I've read or heard Seattle is playing serious hardball with teams.</div></div> TJ is 31 when next season starts

He played much better when he returned to center during the playoffs. He drove the offense from the 4th line and was instrumental to the playoff run. Yes he's older and has a high cap hit, but I think Seattle will take that offer instead of taking Killorn or Gourde if the Lightning decide to do 4-4 protection.

Johnson can still put up 40-50 points in a top 6 role and they can get two picks out of that. Killorn would probably put up around 45-50 points in Seattle, Gourde is probably somewhere in the 50s points wise in Seattle. Johnson has outscored the other two in even strength goals despite less ice time, producing good possession stats that hangs with them as well in a reduced role. My idea was that they could either Killorn or Gourde with no picks; all three are around the same age; or take Johnson and the picks. I could have added in another prospect with the picks as well for taking Johnson but I thought next year's 1st round pick and this year's 3rd would suffice. Could always work up from there.

Thread: Bolts Fan but Flyers are interesting
Thank you everyone for the replies, it's nice to get a sense of what other fans thought on this. A little too tired to put a description last night...

In hindsight I regret adding the pick from the Bruins side, they could use a nice pick for leverage in the expansion draft if they need it. I feel like JVR is still a good player and a great presence to have in front of the net. Should still have enough cap space to re-sign Hall, Krejci, and Rask + depth players. As a Bolts fan I feel like this Boston team would be really hard to play against. Hopefully Braun would bring a veteran presence and depth, his contract is for one more year.

Probably should've added a pick back in the Sens trade as a conditional 6th or 7th round pick if he is not re-signed by OTT.

For the Seattle moves, it is a bit much on paper, but it is to give the Flyers some cap space to work with while moving players who I am personally unsure of. Their production is hard to gauge for the next season or two, and I feel like the Flyers have enough depth to move these players for more freedom to make moves.
