Thread: Philly deals
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>twelvedeadmonkies</b></div><div>Absolutely no chance of Myers being traded. I'd also keep Laughton. Ustimenko has by all accounts progressed nicely, which is the reason why he was moved to the Phantoms. Also why disrupt the team so much when it's actually playing pretty good.</div></div>

Better long term. Bringing some size and physicality in Domi and Oleksiak. Not getting older as Kapanen, Dermott, Domi, Honka all young/ish. Philly has a ton of prospects, so theres not tons of time/space to develop them all. Theres at least 3 dmen prospects above those above in York, wylie, ginning and O'Brien is behind Patrick, frost, etc...

Off roster now: Braun, Laughton and Myers (with Ghost injured).

On roster now: Dermott, Domi, Oleksiak (with a possible signing of Honka).

Thread: Def not much of an upgrade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>twelvedeadmonkies</b></div><div>I'll admit I don't know anything about Braun. If this is just a meh trade I'll hate Chuck for it. Wild fans warned he might be prone to pointless trades. Is he worth it?</div></div>

He's a top 4 defensive defenseman that is very good at getting the puck out of the zone with possession. So far Fletcher has traded Gudas and these 2 picks for upgrades to the RD position. Last season they had Gudas and Myers playing too high in the lineup and a spare tires playing on the 3rd pair. This coming year they'll have proven veteran defenseman on the #1 RD and #2 RD positions. They will be stabilizing forces hopefully for Provorov and Sanheim to help them grow into what we all think they can be. Neither Braun nor Niskanen are signed long-term. Neither would block Myers or Gostisbehere from moving up the lineup if they show they are ready to do so.

Thread: Flyers need to go 30-13 in last 43 for 95 points
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>twelvedeadmonkies</b></div><div>Definitely sellers at this point. 30-13 you said, just not going to happen. Whatever Fletcher will do I just hope he succeeds in trading the likes of Voracek, Jvr &amp; Simmer. All could benefit from a new environment.</div></div>

JVR is likely immovable. Simmonds value is likely down to what I posted above. Voracek still has value. I view him as more of a change of scenery move. The Blues are committed to a lot of high contracts that they need to make work. The Flyers are in a position to take salary back to make the move work. I view Voracek as a strong chip to use in a move to get Parayko. Steen would be a good leader for this team as well but his production is falling.
