2020/21 Roster Thread VI: The Edge of Gory

[Math the wild rose]

If we trade Zamula for Ekholm I will absolutely lose my shit!

Youll lose your shit more if this d group fails it again against the though islanders, ekholm would be a though opponent with this team

 

[Math the wild rose]

Muzzin was traded for Grundstorm + Durzi + 1st rounder.

I think the trade would be in the same realm as that one.

Sanheim for ekholm one on one and we keep zamula and york.
Or you trade Zamula and a first.

 

[Math the wild rose]

How do you know

His work in the defensive zone against elite skaters. He need to do much better.

 

[Starat327]

How do you know

This is pretty damn hilarious, I can't lie.

Sorry you guys can't process the game as well as I can as an AuthenticFan

Just stop with these terrible takes.

 

[Math the wild rose]

i find your lack of faith disturbing.

 

[TB87]

This thread is having evil aura again

 

[Math the wild rose]

like princess Leia in the last trilogy.

 

[Prongo]

Come on man. Why would the flyers even think about doing that deal? And if they did Fletcher should be walked out the building.

 

[ajgoal]

When the goal is to strengthen your defense corps, you should always start with trading one of your top 2-3 defensemen.

 

[TCTC]

Having a D of:

Provy-Ghost
Sanheim-Braun
Ekholm-Myers

would be pretty sweet.

I think Zamula + 1st is as high as I would go. We also would have to consider going 4-4 in the ED which probably would be ok.

 

[Prongo]

Man I will say I love rumors and speculated prices of players but holy shit I’m very very happy the actual people in positions aren’t us idiots.

Tough call. I like the idea of Ekholm, but not sure about Zamula. Ek will be 31 in May, and only signed through next year (at which point, you almost need to re-sign him and is a 32 year old going to want 6,7,8 years?)

Trade ends up being Ekholm for Zamula, 1st and someone like Ghost, Voracek, JVR, Lindblom, Patrick as a result of having to protect 4/4.

But you gotta give to get, and we do need someone.

 

[CutOnDime97]

I'd rather trade a 3rd for a guy like Goligoski to come in as our #5

 

[FLYguy3911]

Zamula and 1 and I'm out.

 

[Math the wild rose]

too slow, youll feel like its a cheaper version of Hagg.

 

[CutOnDime97]

He is definitely better than Hagg, nearly all NHL regulars are.

If you go 4-4 in the expansion draft, then we’re talking about paying Seattle to do what we want. And that’s something that may happen anyways.

A trade for Ekholm in all likelihood is a rental move.

 

[deadhead]

Not really sure about that.
Ekholm seems to have peaked 24-28 ago, since then he's solid but not special, at 30 that may be who he is. TOI is down 2 minutes this year.
As a LHD he may be a tough fit.

With Braun with his legs under him, Ghost playing the best he has in 3 years, even Gus settling in, there's not an urgent need, and Ekholm is both expensive and not exactly what the Flyers need (RHD to pair with Provorov or Sanheim). And Hogberg and Zamula are months, not years, from the NHL.

Renting Ekholm is certainly not worth Sanheim, I don't think he brings much more than Ghost other than size (he's not particularly physical), and I'd be reluctant to give up major assets this year.

WTF???

This is HORRIBLE.

 

[eaglesfan0366]

Was reading The Athletic's top potential trade deadline list.

2nd best defensemen available after Eckholm is Brandon Montour, who is a righty for 3.85M with one year left on his deal. Would he be an upgrade on the third pairing?

I've long thought that Keith Jones is privy to inside organizational information, and occasionally he will very subtly give hints if you pay extremely close attention. There was a way he mentioned Montour on Saturday that immediately triggered my senses. I didn't even know Montour only had one year left -- I immediately looked it up, though, based solely on the inflections in a two-second exchanged between Jones and Jackson. I would say it's very likely his name has been discussed as a target.

We need LD I think.

Our RDs are Ghost, Myers and Braun. And I doubt that AV will scratch Braun. And I dont see Ghost on LD, he is much better on RD.

Not Goligoski exactly, but I am down on just getting actual third pairing defensemen instead of whatever they're going to trade for Ekholm
