this is the main reason he was let go. We HAD to dump salary guys. It had to be done. (If you want to rewind 5 years to when we dont have any bad contracts.. i find that to be a pointless rabbit hole)

This. Guy made $7M in almost two years and gave $1.5M worth of goaltending.

Just taking a swipe at those who feel she has had it out for Petr these last few seasons or that she is Holland's "axe-man" in the media trying to assassinate Mrazek's character. A silly add to my post, but I've found those thoughts laughable over the years and couldn't resist.

Only if Holland's going shopping for more mediocrity this summer. We had enough cap space to keep both goalies and re-sign our RFA.

Probably wasn't much interest in Howard around the league. It's likely we offered Philly either goalie and they chose the kid based on potential. I don't see any team rolling the dice on either of our goalies based on overall numbers the last few years - so a desperate team gambled on Mrazek's playoff numbers and his potential to catch fire on the short term rather than going the ho-hum route of Howard.

They hold 2M for two months. What the hell are you on about? Retaining on Mrazek means literally nothing. They're just going to sell at the deadline anyway... so retain all you want on him.
can't recall another player that has been given so many excuses by people around here for his garbage play. ownership, holland, blashill, helene st james 
We'll see if a change of scenery does anything, but my guess is he will continue to be plagued by inconsistencies and will end up in the KHL if he doesn't get a qualifying offer during the summer

Yeah this could potentially look bad if he steals a couple playoff series for Philly which he could. But he hasnt really been worth his salary and they would likely lose him for nothing if they didnt make this trade.
It really depends on the conditions though so no one can really judge this trade yet. At least Holland is moving some salary for picks, its a start at least

Havent posted on here for a while but gotta say best of luck to Mrazek in Phily.
When he's on his game he is extremely fun goalie to watch.

The Wings were not going to give Mrazek a QO in the offseason. It wasn't going to happen. So... shouldn't they get an asset for the guy that literally was going to walk out the door for nothing in two months?
The tandem sucks. It's time to pull the plug.
Aren't you one of the people complaining about Holland's lack of cap space? He's getting the cap space people here so desperately want. People want this team to tank and move anything that's not nailed down. Now that Holland is doing it you don't get to complain. Enjoy the losing.

Yeah you're probably right that Philly preferred Mrazek but I'm sure that over the past year we could've moved Howie for something. It Doesn't even matter if it was a 5th round pick, theres a lot of value in keeping a young capable goalie. Regardless I wish Petr the best, he wasn't happy here.

Not specifically this move, I'm talking about the "trade everything for picks" mentality.

Mrazek is not a great goaltender. He's had two years of crap interspersed with a three start streak of good here and there.
He is a headcase and more than likely, he'll have one series or one ministreak where he looks fantastic and everyone will scream bloody murder about this trade... but realistcally, he'll amount to an immaterial addition to the Flyers.
DET guaranteed no less than a 4th round for Mrazek. If PHI makes playoffs and Mrazek wins 5 games for PHI in reg season, 4th becomes a 3rd. If PHI advances to CF, and Mrazek wins six playoff games, the 3rd becomes a 2nd. If PHI re-signs him next season, DET gets PHI 3rd in 19.
That’s the conditions

Getting rid of Mrazek is a smart move. Hopefully they dump Howard at next years deadline.
They can pick up a young goalie in a trade at the draft.
As for return we will need to see the conditions but it looks fine to me.

Mine as well be a flyers fan and mrazek fan the rest of the way. Even though it’s gonna kill me to see him be a great goalie for many years
