Thread: Pretender to contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>I think he has the potential to be a top 4 pairing dman in this league and he showed flashes towards the end of the year last year and a little in the playoffs. I think he is going to build on that moving forward. I honestly don't see it in Attard or Andrae, so my faith is a bit less than yours.

Regarding the young center, I completely agree, but we're not getting a young center in that ilk in a trade around Sean Walker, that's just not going to happen.</div></div>

I don't disagree, I think he is a 4 at best. But he will be 25 in 2 months, he will need a new contract after the season and he has yet to play even 70 games in a season even though this is his 3rd season in the league. I think our top 3 are solid going forward. I believe Bonk becomes that number 4 in let's say 2 years. Then you have Zamula, Attard, Ginning, Andrae and Grans for 2 bottom pair spots. Defenseman take time, I would rather let some of those guys develop. I also am almost certain that we take a defenseman in the first this year. I do agree that you probably aren't getting a young center for Walker, but you could get a draft pick that would allow you to trade for or draft that player.

Thread: Need a 1C
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>This is interesting because it's basically a net 0 change in terms of firsts, and G's contract expires when Michkov comes over and hopefully Frost or Cates or whoever has finally solidified the 3C spot, and with the cap hit gone, we should be in the market for a true 1C since we don't have one in the pipeline, nor would we draft anyone next year or the year after who could fit that role. It would be a nice stop gap for the next year and a half, and wouldn't it be something if G returns and leads us to a little playoff success before he retires a Flyer, as it should have been the whole time. If we had the talent on the wings from 2016-2020 as we do now, he would still be here.</div></div>

G is honestly the perfect person we need as our 1C (which is ironic). Fanbase would accept it because hes a legend and the team would appreciate the support front office would show them. FLA 1st is expendable especially if we do acquire a 1st for Walker. Works for me.

Thread: Few Ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>Explain why. IMO it makes perfect sense.</div></div>

I agree the CGY deal makes alot of sense and gives them a good base of 3 dmen, all 28 yrs old or less, long term to either add vets or kids to, and allows them some stability to work on their forwards. The 2nd rounder, if thats what PHI adds would either be CBJ (high in the round) or the compensatory pick PHI gets (Jay OBrien). Maybe Hanifan gets a 1st and 2nd and a good midlevel prospect (ala Orlov) at TDL, but that doesn;t help for 2-3 years, while you're waiting for those guys to arrive, while guys like Kadri, Huberdeau, Wolf, Coronato are just waiting? and it still leaves CGY defense with just Rasmus and Weegar?

If Im CGY I do this deal, re-sign Zadorov in off season, (or Kylington in his make or break year, so maybe he plays well and you re-sign him and let Zadorov walk), but thats a solid defense with Weegar, Rasmus, Sanheim and Zadorov and bring up a kid or 2 next year and add a solid vet, and thats CGY defense looking pretty solid for the next 3 years with a fairly reasonable cap structure spread through the defense.

PHI is banking on Hanifan re-signing reasonably and CGY is banking on Sanheim rounding back into form

So it solves alot of worries on the defense AND it acquires a player who wants to be there.

I figure that this helps you guys push the rebuild along a little faster. Get two really fast skaters in Branny/Joseph, as well as meet your veteran quota for the team.

Bran is an awesome D who just hasn't found the right fit here. Joseph is a reclamation project, and maybe a change of scenery will be nice for him. Sokolov is a well-liked teammate, who works extremely hard, a bit rough on the skating, but can fill out out the fourth line until/if you can find a right fit for him. The draft picks also help, while not robbing your cupboards. I'm assuming Briere continues to stock them on your end.

This way we can sign Pinto to a minimum one year deal.

Hopefully this sounds reasonable.
