The Preds should be choosing between firing Hynes and Poile. Philly can have either for free.
Sadly, they'd probably both be upgrades.

Funny, I thought "Ellis is only 30?".holy crap Ellis is 30? It felt like he was doing damage at the WJC just yesterday
They are still good. Myers is figuring some things out right now and not at his best. Provy and Sanheim have been good. York just won best Dman for his league. Zamula is coming too. The biggest issue to me is that you still need a #1 RHD bc Provy is a #2 LHD. That’s obviously a big issue.
likely JVR or Voracek exposed given their cap hitsWhat's Philly's expansion situation? Any chance that Patrick gets floated in an Ellis deal? I see more than 7 forwards worth protecting there.
I think Nashville could definitely go 4 &4 in the ED, then turn around and trade Ellis. I would think Nashville would be interested in someone like Frost coming back, but I'm honestly not sure of Ellis's value at all. Just factoring in his skills, you'd think the value is similar to Ekholm, but contract and age are definitely the biggest factor here.likely JVR or Voracek exposed given their cap hits
Giroux(NMC) Hayes(NMC) Couts Konecny Patrick Lindblom + 1 of JVR/Jake
Provy Sanheim Myers
Hart
Exposed JVR/Jake, Aube Kubel, Ghost, Braun, Hagg
So can't trade for Ellis until after ED if they were interested
There isn't a single team in the NHL who would take on Ellis @ 6,250,000 for another six years without a 1st rounder attached.
I wouldn’t make any move. Develop the kids on D and see what happens. Hart comes along with it. Figure out the forwards and what’s needed for D later.Who on the Flyers would you trade for him?
Sanhiem?
Myers?
Who from our forward group would be moved?
