2018 off-season thread

music to my ears, depending on price. IMO solves a lot of issues and creates a tough lineup to match against.

Minnesota could definitely put together a better package for ROR than the Flyers but would have to shed a ton of capspace to do it. I do think there’s a 50/50 shot Botterill screws this up by asking for the moon like he did with Kane and doesn’t trade him. At that point, I hope the wheels completely fall out and it turns into a dumpster fire.

Really?

 

[Psuhockey]

Really?

Yes. They have been trying to move Nino for years. Then there’s Coyle too. The Flyers don’t have any NHL player that level they could move except maybe Simmonds who is old for a rebuilding team like Buffalo.

Did Mackenzie forget to put his teeth back in?

Oh, and:

Lame D Mandog-a, Provy at your side
Wonder how your assignment was so open wide

Late game lead is when you're playing
Jori skatin' like he's pushing ninety-one
Travises already in their street clothes
See, now they won!

Lame D Mandog-a, boxed in your own zone
Wonder why you left the crease front all alone

 

[achdumeingute]

Really?

its doubtful many teams could put up a better package than us...but VERY few of us want to deal anybody.

I mean, on paper Morin, Rubstov and one of our firsts is 3 firsts for ROR...but the first two dont have that real value anymore.

Gudas, Simmonds are the only NHL roster vet guys worth anything id deal.

Sanheim, Frost, Lindblom are prospect non starters.

I want ROR to give NP easier matchups and IMO ROR at C this year means frost can be NHL LW on RORs 3rd line and have less responsibility in year 1.

People want Frost at C, but that IMO is not realistic in 2018...to much pressure. ROR gives him 2+ years to figure out the league.

Sigh....

Sigh....

Don't worry, we know this means nothing. Hextall is a little lying liar who lies.

Also remember this is coming through that idiot Isaacs filter.

 

[achdumeingute]

Sigh....

To simmonds resigning? I mean, at the right term its ok, right?

4 years yes? 6 years no?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He response to someone asking if Simmonds was staying or going? was “Staying” in another tweet.

 

[Striiker]

That last sentence is most important.

As much as they speculate, we have no clue what's going on.

Upgrade or out.

 

[BernieParent]

The wheels were never on.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, that's exactly this board.

Except that in the picture you can't hear the group of raccoons fighting in the trunk.

 

[BernieParent]

montreal, carolina, minnesota, and philly are all in on ror per mcguire.

Where are you seeing the McGuire stuff? Is he on NHL Network?

exactly...much like the Spanish inquisition, nobody expects the Brayden Schenn trade!

No. I don't think Simmonds should be signed for 4 years either.

Why are we wanting to pay our #3 RW 6 million per for his 31-34 year old seasons?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

No. I don't think Simmonds should be signed for 4 years either.

He’d be a moron to sign a four deal anyway unless the AAV was jacked up to like $7M.

I don't think there is a right term personally. I think we need to move him out, and have thought so for a long time. If we don't, that's fine, because I like him as a person, but I think he gives us less than most people think he does (and I could be completely wrong, who knows).

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Yeah, that's exactly this board.

I mean, raccoons are pretty cool. I'd say skunks is more like it. Trust me, I'm farm people.

He loves Philly man.

in general, its just time to move on from the roster spot for you? If Voracek was dealt and simmonds was 2nd line RW...is 4y x 6m an issue for you?

 

[Rebels57]

I think the Simmonds situation plays out like this:

He is not traded this summer.
He plays all season on the Flyers.
He leaves as a UFA next summer.

Just a gut feeling.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He loves Philly man.

They don’t deposit love into your bank account.

 

[achdumeingute]

well in theory you could say the same about Nick Foles. Turned down likely more $$ and near guaranteed opportunity to start in CLE to stay here as a backup. Granted...the situation is MUCH better in PHI than CLE.

But moneys not everything...
