Yeah, no. I'm with Nate. I get that Carlson is probably a #2 on most teams and that Mojo is better than Schenn, but there's no incentive for the Flyers to take this deal. We lose what's going to probably end up being close to 6 million dollars in cap space which is going to be really important when we're re-signing the young D, lose a key part of our PP1 that Mojo isn't going to replace, add to our glut of NHL level centers by trading a wing for one, and lose out on G's probably replacement that is going to be cost controlled for seven years. You think that the Flyers wouldn't have been more aggressive if they were in a win now mentality? You think we would have stockpiled the amount of D prospects we have? If Homer or Clarke was the GM, this trade probably goes through. Not with Hextall though

Thread: Ghost Bear
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>Very creative. I think you are adding to the vegas deal, maybe baptiste or fasching, its worth it. I liked neuvirth when he was here, and i especially like that hes cheap. Probably adding to get ghost, maybe the other one of baptiste/fasching. Not sure what to expect from ghost, which year is the real one? Fact is, we would not be giving up much and it could be a real nice move. I really liked murray, but he was all out of low risk moves like this, pysyk/kulikov probably got him fired, a new gm like botterill has a couple mulligans to play with.</div></div>

His play driving metrics were better this year than last, his shooting percentage cratered. That's to be expected when your a rookie D that comes in firing at 11+% when the league average for D is around 3-4%.

Thread: Flyers 18-19 (Fuuuuuutuuuuuure)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptJosef</b></div><div>This is basically what I see happing. Your value for Gudas is pretty much where I'd put it too, he's a decent top 4 guy, kills penalties, plays hard, on an reasonable deal.

I think Vecchione will be the 4th line centre though, I have high hopes for him (if being a good 4th liner is that high of a hope).

I wonder if Weal and Lindblom do well and Konecny takes a step forward while Rubstov gets closer Hextall might consider moving Simmonds (painful though it might be) for a ransom to restock the cupboard as we embark to perennial cup contending years - gearing towards that '2nd phase'.</div></div>

Eh, none of those guys currently/could play RW well enough to push Simmer out except Konecny and he'd have to take some major strides. He's good, but he's not even close to Simmer good. Rubtsov will probably be in Lehigh at this point. Unless he blows the doors off the Q next year, I don't think he has the resume or experience to push for an NHL spot.

Thread: For THAT Price?! No thanks (my dream scenario Habs team)
Hard pass on the Flyers trade. They don't need any D so Petry and Davidson are off the table. Hextall already said he's going younger with the D and that means bringing two of our D prospects up (probably Hagg and Morin) They don't need any more bottom six talent, so Shaw is out. They currently have about 10 guys fighting for 5 spots in the bottom six. We don't need a goalie prospect so Fucale is out. Sandstrom just backstopped Brynas to the SHL finals and Carter Hart is poised to win his second consecutive CHL Goalie of the Year after taking home his second WHL Goalie of the Year. Stolarz is more than likely NHL ready and Lyon is ready to hold down the fort in the AHL. Why would they give up an alternate captain, who is probably the best net front presence and has probably the best value, non-ELC contract in the NHL, AND a second round pick to shoot themselves in the foot four times? If you're giving up Gally for that, then there is something to discuss.

Thread: Blockbuster draft day
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurnEmUp</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BDang</b></div><div>

Don't get me wrong, Gaudreau could slide on the top line, as we lack dynamic top line talent. I would be shocked if Hextall pulled a deal of this magnitude after he has preached patience and building from within. Sanheim and Myers are blue chip prospects who haven't even played in the NHL yet. Add in the 1st/2nd and I think it is too much for Johnny Hockey.</div></div>

I don't think this deal happens either, but again it's not just for Johnny Hockey. The OP also included a 26 year old top pairing Dman on a sweetheart contract who goes by the name of TJ Brodie.</div></div>

Why give up two guys who have top pair potential on ELCs when they have the chance to draft a dynamic forward too? It's not like the Flyers completely lack guys that can play on the top line. Plus, with Myers and Gudas gone, the Flyers would have no right handed Dmen and that same situation led us to trade JvR for Luke Schenn.

Thread: Player I Hate The Most on All Teams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>labossiere7</b></div><div>You have no time for pests hey? haha i love tkachuk, marchand, perry, naz, Wilson, loooch, buff etc.</div></div>

I respect Marchand, Lucic, Perry, and Buff for their talent. They're all world class players. I also know that pests still have their place. I am one tbh and I've been called the dirtiest player in whichever league I was in multiple times. I hate Buff because I'm a Flyers fan and he was a big reason why CHI won the Cup in 2010. The rest are all dirty, from Marchand submarining the Canucks and Lucic spearing a Red Wing in the junk. Perry is just a scud.

I don't respect Wilson and Tkachuk. I'm still out on Tkachuk just because he's so young. It was a big reason why I hated Subban when he first came into the league and tried punking Mike Richards. Wilson is a joke. Biggest tough guy in the league, at least until Simmonds is out there with him. He doesn't bring anything but a big body to the table. I know the Caps are trying to turn him into an effective PK guy, but I'll believe that happened when I see it.
