I hate this team
Looks like everyone got their wish. Flyers just made a franchise changing trade.
Christ....you made me go scrambling to see what it was. Too bad it could not have been part of a bigger deal

Giving up draft picks to trade Read, Lehtera, and Weise is so obviously a bad idea for us at this point. Yes, we are deep in prospects and youth.
You think it'd take picks to trade Read? Seems like salary retention would get it done. Hextall wants a lot for his trade chips, even if they're middling players. See: Bellemare rumors
does Tokarski even have a NHL contract? I thought both guys in the deal both had AHL contracts.

I don't know. At the trade deadline it's a lot more likely. Trading him this very moment doesn't sound easy.
Yeah, as more of his contract is paid out, it gets easier to move him. Right now a team trading for Read with 50% retention would have to pay him about $1.75m. At the deadline it would be around $442,000.
Read isn't bad to have around for a while longer in case of injury. If Weise got hurt, I would hope Raffl would move up to 3LW and Read would go in at 4RW.
Lehtera would slow down the 4th line a lot.
I think Raffl's strength along the boards would do more for Patrick and Konecny than Leier would.
