David Pastrnak messed up his thumb at a club off ice activity. Had surgery on it and, according to the Bruins, will "miss some time"-at least two weeks. Trade for Simmonds? If a deal like that went down, what would the Flyers want in return?

 

[Prongo]

I would like to see Simmonds and Hagg traded to Vegas for all their top prospects please.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Boston doesn’t really have a whole lot realistically that would interest me. Their prospect pool is more based on depth than it is high end talent or at least potential.

If they’re looking for prospects close to the NHL perhaps Frederic or Forsbacka-Karlsson? They don’t really do much for me. We have similar prospects to them.

Same thing I always want in a Simmonds deal: a first round pick. 2019 or 2020. Heck, I'd go even later than that, though I know that Fletch won't.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I’d do that for sure. I was thinking 4th or so.

You would trade a 24 year old that is an NHL regular for a pick with little chance of becoming an NHL regular any time in the next 3-4 years (if at all)? Why?

They might take both of them. Would you take Hague and a second? GMGM has said he doesn't want to trade the first this year.

I think I would do this from both teams' standpoint. Glass and Brannstrom are off-limits.

I’d rather let a kid play in that slot. We have to start thinking where guys like Allison, Farabee, Ratcliffe are going to play. We need slots for them. I’m tired of Laughton not finishing chances

Laughton is a great checking forward tho, and is valued on the PK. He could find another gear he would be awesome. But hey look how look it took Couturier to start scoring. Laughton could still be a valuable peice going forward.

Guys you look to move are :

Simmonds
Raffl

—

Next year Frost, Farabee, Rubtsov, Vorobyev, Allison, Ratcliffe are all going to be pushing for a spot.

And if we bring a FA and get another guy via trade. We should be able to upgrade our bottom half.

 

[baudib1]

Laughton brings a lot of versatility to the lineup and serves as a good litmus test for the kids. "Is this guy better than Scott Laughton?," will be a good question to pose as Fletcher decides when to promote someone. If that line is set at Varone, the team has issues IMO.

I'm all for aggressively promoting prospects but even I think that starting the year with more than 2 of Frost, Farabee, Rubtsov, Vorobyev, plus Myers and Morin, is probably asking for trouble. I don't see Allison or Ratcliffe starting the year in the NHL, and I think it's legitimately questionable if either one is ever better than Laughton.

I have no comments, just thought I'd share.

I don’t really disagree. I’m just ok if he’s not there next year. He adds value. If he’s a 4th liner for 2 more years that’s ok. I could see is signing a UFA and Frost making it. Outside of that who knows. Misha had a great camp and they pulled him as soon as they could. With that strategy you aren’t going to have more than those two. But if Farabee and ruby impress they could at least start with the flyers. So there would be a spot for Laughton.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Is Wayne still here?

 

[lancer247]

The past two season’s TDL were anti-climatic. A great of build up but not much happened on TDL day. Most moves were made well before the TDL, ay least that’s how it seems to me.
This season seems like nothing much is going on so hopefully TDL day will have a lot of deals going down.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Flip JVR and Oskar and thats beautiful.

I want to see JVR-Frost-Konecny as a sheltered secondary scoring line. Could be naaaasty.

Would need to be HEAVILY sheltered. If those guys got hemmed in their own end, it could get just as nasty, pretty quick.

Inspired from a FGSB tweet, what about:

Ghost

For

Huberdeau

Ghost returns home and we get a skilled winger.

Just on value. Not debating if you would want to trade ghost or not.

EDIT: what about if the Flyers can actually sign Karlsson in the offseason. The deal happens at the draft. Just curious

Faster than I can blink an eye.

 

[nuclear reactor]

Would people just take a 2nd for Simmonds now?

Hextall really screwed up this situation. Simmonds should have been dealt last trade deadline or at the draft at the latest.

He will get more than a second rounder. Don’t believe the reports. Boyle got a second rounder. It’s gonna be a late 1st but he will return that ++

That would be a steal. Huberdeau is on a good contract and it would help the expansion draft situation. Protect Provorov, Sanheim, and Myers.

You must be kidding

No need to be condescending. I like Huberdeau. I think it would be a good trade.
