I, too, would take Risto for less than 5 bucks a year, but the league would have a problem with that, so better to move on from him.

 

[Striiker]

The replies from Flyers fans on that “goals below shooting talent” chart that shows how bad JVR and TK’s shooting luck has been…

Its insane how dumb this fanbase is.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I’d rather see Sanhero on the PP than Provorov or Yandle. Because what is there to lose?

That said, I’ve seen Sanhero get looks on the PP before, & it’s always been extremely awkward. He’s not a “quarterback” type. Not a distributor, not particularly poised with the puck. I’ve seen him trip over himself at his offensive blueline more often than any D I can recall. So I don’t think he’s going to be much of a solution there. Ultimately, York will be the guy.

Ssssh! Are you TRYING to convince Chunk not to make moves?

Edit: Freudian typo. Leaving it.

 

[Taluss]

You guys are busy

 

[Rebels57]

You guys are busy

Takes a lot of brain power to f*** up as often and as big as they do.

 

[Striiker]

The Flyers staff is busy in the same way that MacEwen is on the ice.

Lots of movement, lots of noise about it, but ultimately absolutely zero positive impact towards wins.

Flyers have a lot of potential assets to move, not just G, so they're collecting information.
When you go to negotiate a deal, you want to know the potential trade partner's cap situation, draft picks and top prospects.
You don't know where a deal will end up, maybe a simple draft pick trade, maybe a three way deal with picks, prospects and cap money being swapped around.

 

[ponder719]

I wouldn't be shocked if they're scouting Hershey because the Caps are a possible destination for Braun.

 

[deadhead]

And I have no problem with second tier prospects with NHL upside over 2nd and 3rd rd picks - the odds of finding a "star" after the first round are somewhere in the 4-5% area, 7-12% for a long-term starter. So getting a prospect with a good probability of actually contributing is fine. And some of those prospects that get traded (Dumoulin is an example) can surprise.

 

[Curufinwe]

Seven games left till the deadline.

 

[deadhead]

The bulk of TDL trades occur starting about 7 days before the TDL, which is next Monday.

 

[Rebels57]

Braun definitely feels like a Caps move

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Braun definitely feels like a Caps move

He'd actually be a good fit there

 

[Curufinwe]

Caps have the Jets 2nd (currently #45), but not their own 2nd.

I actually like Mac a lot. Obviously in the limited of limited roles, but I hope he's here next year. I do believe you want a guy like him.

Just curious how you fans would feel about trading Giroux to the Rangers. Let’s say it’s for a return that you consider fair whatever that is.

Im wondering since there’s been flyer scouts at the Rangers AHL games and word of Rangers wanting to make a big move.

I personally am iffy on a potential trade considering it’s a division rival and price will probably be high. I’m sure Giroux is also a fan fav over here? So not expecting many pleased responses lol

 

[Curufinwe]

It would be pretty sickening to me, but if Giroux wanted to go there I wouldn't be mad at him.

Truly sickening. Especially if they win.

Not acceptable.

 

[Striiker]

The coach takes no blame.

Absolutely not. He’s completely useless.

And even if we pretend fighting makes any difference, which is literally the only thing he even does, you then need to find someone who can also play hockey at an NHL level. You don’t just throw a boxer on skates and pretend that’s acceptable.

IF I was GM of the Flyers, I'd trade Giroux to the team that offered the best possible return for the Flyers. I don't care if it's the Rangers, Pens, Panthers, Avs, Canes. Whoever. Best combo and value of prospects and picks. Period.

Same for Giroux as for Risto, Braun, Yandle, Brassard, JVR and Jones. Trade them all for whatever we can get, they aren't needed next year.
