Roster Moves: 2021 Roster Thread XXV: Extended Qualifying Offers to Bunnaman, Hart, Kase, Sanheim; Morin re-signed

[Curufinwe]

He might be old, but he's a winner.

So is Ken Holland, and he won more recently.

 

[Magua]

I don’t think Ken Holland could win Bingo Night at the old folks home at this stage. He’d trade a conditional 2nd rounder for the middle square.

 

[Curufinwe]

Seems likely that Lou gives Landeskog 7 x 9.5 knowing he won’t be around for that last four or five years.

 

[CapnZin]

Something tells me Fletcher wants Nick Ritchie, but the cost is no bueno. I’m not a big Nick Ritchie fan, but I could see his play style being complemented by Frosts play making ability in high danger areas. Hell, even Laughton and Ritchies play style are complementary.

We have 800 wingers

 

[Danko]

Just hoping the backup goalie is the bigger of the remaining signings.

Anybody out there they can give like $59 million to?

Using a +5 rule (just looking at prospects drafted within 5 spots of 36th overall to factor in draft day consensus rankings)

2019 - 36th could have landed Nils Hoglander (41st overall)

2018 - 36th could have landed Alex Romanov (38th overall)

2017 - 36th could have been Jason Robertson (39th overall)

2016 - 36th could have landed Alex DeBrincat (39th overall)

2015 - 36th could have landed Brandon Carlo (37th overall)

2014 - 36th overall was Thatcher Demko. (Nedeljkovic was 37th)

Expanding this to +10 adds even more quality players and would not be unreasonable. Plenty of talent to be had at 36th overall if you nail the pick.

I take the position that the NHL draft after early picks is crap shot with significant flat out blind luck. Way too much credit is given for late picks hitting. Logically if a team is so good at identifying a talented player why didn't they just pick that player earlier? The heralded Lightning made three picks, 2 of which are guys that have never played in the NHL before picking Point. There is a strong case to be made that if they were so brilliant at identifying talent how did they pick 2 guys that have played no games before Point? The 3rd guy is DeAngelo which is questionable for other reasons that are still occurring since the draft.

I’m not saying I want him.

 

[tictactoe]

I’m not saying I want him.

we need a power forward for sure.. everyone is playing on the outside and no one drives the net, no one gets in dirty areas where Simmonds/Knuble/LeClair used to play.

 

[Math the wild rose]

My boy will prove you he belong in the NHL on a third pairing regurlaly as soon as this year.

He's gonna give everything he got.

Mark these words.

Allison is a cheaper option. Who would Ritchie replace? I’d rather bet on NAK going back to his rookie year forechecking prowess than handing Ritchie a 3 year 3 mil AAV deal to play in the B6. We already have one of them in Laughton and likely Lindblom.

If we didn’t have a plethora of wingers then sure, but idk about now.

 

[Striiker]

I’m sure the heat maps don’t support the claim that nobody is driving the net and everyone is on the perimeter.

This is more “the whole team is slow”, “everyone refuses to shoot”, “they all gave up” nonsense.

 

[Laveuglette]

He's a 7th D-Man. Relax.

At the very very very very least. The guy has potential, more than ppl realize. The forward experiment was a fail though. He's a pure D.

Well, they could use more of it.
JVR does it well on the PP, not so much at ES.
Lindblom will go to the net, lacks strength last year (duh) but should be 100% in October
Allison does, which is why I think he'll push his way up the lineup.
Foerster and Wisdom are possibilities, as is Ratcliffe if he keeps filling out

Who else?

 

[TB87]

Ah, the Morin is good at defense thing is back.


I too enjoy fiction!

 

[The Madrigal]

The Flyers are going to end up with Holtby, aren't they

JvR is still on the roster.

 

[The Madrigal]

Flyers fans are such a miserable bunch that the majority of them on twitter are even complaining about the numbers the three new players have chosen

 

[Flyerfan4life]

The Flyers are going to end up with Holtby, aren't they

its Moose... just learn to accept it.

 

[The Madrigal]

its Moose... just learn to accept it.

ZERO chance

 

[flyerslducks]

Would’ve loved getzlaf here for a run. Would be sick to have him

Knuble. Haven’t heard that name in awhile. Very underrated player.
