2017-18 Roster Talk: Part Ten

[Beef Invictus]

I can't imagine what a Karlsson trade would look like

"Bad for Ottawa" is my guess.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Karlsson would be huge and I'd think it would be something like Simmonds+Ghost for him. I always wanted Doughty, but Karlsson is one of the best players in the league.

Karlsson is the guy fans would want and coaches would go for doughty.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'd rather have Doughty if Karlsson's ankle is going to be an issue.

 

[Curufinwe]

I thought they might have loaned Alt back to the Phantoms, but with them going to Charlotte I guess they wanted to keep the current #7 close by.

I think Alt will have to go thru waivers to be sent down. He hasn't played 10 games, but according to my math he has been on the Flyers roster for 33 days: 12 days (October 30th thru November 10th) plus 21 days (November 22nd thru December 12th).

Exemptions

1. A player does not need to pass through waivers if the player has not been on the NHL active roster for a cumulative 30 days since last clearing waivers, and has not played in 10 or more NHL games. CBA Reference 13.2(b)

If Alt has to go through waivers he could get claimed. He has been surprisingly solid as a stop gap.

 

[Richards18Forever]

Doughty won't leave Kings. They are competing and sitting atop the Pacific.

 

[FLYguy3911]

If Alt has to go through waivers he could get claimed. He has been surprisingly solid as a stop gap.

Highly unlikely. He's been fine as the 9th guy on the depth chart, but he's not that good.

 

[deadhead]

Maybe not good enough to start for a good team, but good enough for a bad team to claim on waivers.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Nope.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Hahahahahah.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Nothing of value would be lost if for whatever insane reason Alt was claimed on waivers.

 

[Rebels57]

I'd rather see Manning waived since Alt is easily better at playing hockey.

 

[Curufinwe]

Maybe Hextall will trade Manning when he's healthy to make room for Alt on the roster for the rest of the season.

I'd like to see a trade for a top 4 rhd so we don't need either on the roster

 

[flyersfan187]

Alt is good to have as the 8th or 9th d call up. Going into the season you want to have at least 9 d that you can trust to play and not mess everything up.

 

[Flukeshot]

I think trading Gudas would be a mistake. It would not be too long after trading him that we felt the D and team as a whole needed a a gritty player... like Gudas.

This team is soft enough.

 

[Curufinwe]

I wouldn't. The price is too high based on what Vatanen cost NJ.

 

[Striiker]

Provorov-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas

There you go, top 4 RD set. No trade needed.

 

[Stizzle]

 

[deadhead]

Yep.

The scheme is well executed, they play great defense and protect an average goalie - imagine how Elloitt would be exposed in a wide open, less disciplined scheme.

Just need to add forward talent that can score. And we have that in droves, from the AHL to juniors/SHL/college. We don't need to add a bunch of superstars, just upgrade 3-4 forward spots and this becomes an above average offense.

I have a dream that someday Flyer fans will see 12 forwards on the ice who are legitimate NHL players . . .

 

[NYCFlyer]

Provorov-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas

There you go, top 4 RD set. No trade needed.

I don't think Ghost is who I would want playing against the top lines every night. I would prefer Morin with Ghost at 5/6 and special teams. Maybe Myers will develop into a 1/2 but if I'm trying to build a champion, I would like a killer first pairing on D and we only have half of it imo.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Glad to see that Patrick, in terms of metrics, is still doing well even in his limited time.

 

[Striiker]

wrong thread

 

[deadhead]

I'm sure Hextall would be glad to eat salary for Weise, Lehtera, Read or MacDonald.
Since there's a good chance none will hit the ice (barring injuries) for the Flyers next year.
