Gallagher goes to dirty areas, no one else on our team does or can.So....you're relying purely on Gallagher for our physicality in the top 6?
And who do we trade for a centre?

I would make some calls about Teravainen. Timmins was very high on him in his draft so I wouldn't be surprised if they already had talks about him. I guess he could do well at center and could fit perfectly with the Habs. I think it's a good timing to get him.
Who realistically can we target as a center before October?
Matt Duchene, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
John Tavares but bergevin wont have the balls
or they try galchenyuk/drouin at center

You must've been out of the country last June........

If Flyers would retain 1 Million then go after Giroux.
I wouldn't mind Giroux, but who goes the other way?
Carter is turning 33 this year. He's no longer worth four good pieces.

I bet MB is looking at Leddy or Nelson,
no way is he looking at JT
Agree. Snow wants to build around Tavares. Until he didn't sign or says he wants out, Snow will try to win him over. You don't trade a generational centre just because. Besides, Montreal doesn't really have the pieces to yet a Tavares since they traded Sergachev and our farm is empty. We're not getting Tavares unless he makes it to UFA which is highly unlikely.
More realistic target is Duchene, RNH etc. #1 centres almost never move.

Maybe Lindholm as Canes have Staal, Rask and Kruger.

Picks+prospects and if needed Galley.
But I doubt Flyers retain any salary I don't think they are trying to dump him.
If MB was willing to pay 6.25x5 for Radu its not a leap to pay 7.25 for Giroux. Almost 2 years younger, a C and had 4 more points than Radu last year.
As it stands right now the Flyers have two first round picks next year on top of draft Patrick. I believe Patrick may start the season in the NHL, and if he does, Giroux should probably be traded. If they are looking to do a mini rebuild, trading Giroux for another 1st would give them 3 in the next draft.
Would be nice if Philly ate some more of that salary tho, 8.25 is quite a lot, but I feel he will most likely rebound. He should be in the prime of his career, he isn't 35 like Plekanecs, who I have 0 expectations that he rebounds.
Why wouldn't Philly wait until Patrick makes Giroux redundant or his ELC is finished before moving Giroux? Keeping Giroux takes the pressure off Patrick, teams have learned this is better then throwing their young superstars in the making to the wolves. They'll get less for Giroux in a couple of years, but so what?
Out of all those centres, would you trade Lindholm as the Canes GM? I wouldn't. Besides, Lindholm has potential but he's not a bona fide #1.
