FLyers don't need to add physical forwards to the bottom six, they have plenty:

NAK 5'11 211
Bunnaman 6'3 226
Lindblom 6'1 200
Raffl 6'0 210
Patrick 6'2 203
Twarynski 6'2 206
Sandin 6'1 209

If Braun and Hagg leave, they could use another full bodied defenseman.
The 6’3 185 Sanheim, 6’1 201 Provorov, 6’5 215 Myers, 6’1 203 Niskanen, 5’11 180/185 Ghost and Friedman aren’t full bodied?

I am basically the only one who is vocally critical of him all the time, so I don't know who you think you are talking to :laugh: And no, I didn't want Duchene either - if you'll recall (you won't), I thought we weren't ready to make a push yet and should wait for Frost et al to be ready. Also, I am always against UFA signings as long as we are drafting well.
I didn’t want either of them, nor JVR too. But oh well.

I don't understand why they'd move Ghost. To me, that's only if you absolutely have to.

1. Braun is UFA and won't be resigned.
2. Ghost at least provides you with options for the ED if you want to steer the Kraken towards that vs. some other player.
3. Ghost *is* an NHL defenseman. Period. We need an NHL defenseman.

The cap space can come by trading JVR. I like him, he's probably good for 25+ goals, but it's becoming harder and harder to see where he fits on this team, especially with younger, cheaper, and hungrier talent in the system.

Is the SCF over yet? There should be a simulate games option once your team is out. :laugh:

I'd push to move JVR as well even if I have to over pay to move him. Personally I'd rather over pay to move JVR than move Ghost for a 2nd and cap relief.

Why would we "pay" to remove a 25g+25a forward when we have issue scoring goals?

Here is an idea....DRESS 4 lines that can actually produce instead of putting all the burden onto 2 lines while 2 other lines hold on for dear life every game.
amen brother. No team is as deep as the flyers when fully healthy and this is without Patrick. We can have the best 4th line in hockey in raffl-laughton-nak. AV's system would kill if we roll the correct lines. He loves to balance and roll 4 lines a lot and it could* work if we don't have holes..which we shouldn't unless we resign a ballsack

You aren't getting rid of JVR without taking on money or paying a high pick. There is no shot right now.

Him being selected by Seattle is the absolute best case scenario for this team. All that is needed to make that happen is to use him properly.

That's just not true. He's still got value. You just may not get a lot back necessarily.

Bump...

Just to go further into this, for people who want JVR gone but want to give up assets for Laine...

I'll keep JVR, those assets, and the cap room. Thanks.

THIS!

We got practically nothing out of the bottom 6 in the Playoffs.

If we get rid of JVR, we might be able to get a winger who scored 55 points per 82 games in the past two seasons.

Let's see JVR with either Frost or Patrick as his Center and a defensively responsible RWer like NAK or maybe even Lindblom before we banish him.

I'd actually rather trade Laughton than JVR*

Giroux - Couturier - Voracek
Farabee - Hayes - Konecny
JVR - Frost/Patrick - Lindblom
Raffl - Patrick/Frost - NAK

Sandin, Tanner

*if Patty isn't good to go, then you hold onto Laughton.
