how does philly rank in terms of value
11th+myers, Frost, Sanheim....
i am guessing Sanheim>11th+myers>Frost?
It all depends who you talk to.
Here is reality. The Flyers NEED a #2C and a #3C. That will either be Patrick or Frost in some order. We can't afford to trade either because the drop to the next guy is steep....down to Vorobyev, Rubstov, Laughton, etc... Patrick was tied for #77 is ES scoring for centers. Adding 6 more ES points puts him at the 2nd line C production. In another year, the Flyers could have both producing as 2nd liners....that's the short term goal.
Sanheim was playing great with Gudas in a lesser role, but despite that, Hakstol refused to give him more minutes and was #7 in D icetime/game as per his firing. Under Gordon, Sanheim was unleashed and put next to Provy on the top pairing. He produced very well....tied for 9th in ES scoring since Dec 17th. And he did this playing the right side and most would agree, he plays better on the left. And he is nowhere near a finished product. And on the season, was 20th in ES scoring for Dmen....1 more than trouba
As for Myers, it's such a small sample size. Too early to tell. But he has passed every test along the way. He could be this years Sanheim but with not as much offense, but a more physical player. And being a RHD, the Flyers need him as only Gudas shoots right on their D.
I would not trade Frost(need him) or Sanheim(upside vs cap) for Trouba. I also would not package the 11th+Myers as both are A assets. I would not trade 2 A assets for Trouba. Trouba's points would drop in Philly because he won't get that prime PP spot as it is Ghosts. So that knocks 12-15 points off of Trouba(previous PP years were 3, 4, 4, 6, 3 points). Would I trade 1 A asset+lesser prospects/picks, sure. But not trading 2 A assets.
