Value of: 3rd line center to Flyers

[DLJB]

IMO this is the Flyers biggest need (hoping that Carter Hart has a blowout camp and wins rookie of the year ). I don't think they will rush Morgan Frost and Laughton is more of a 4C than 3C. Don't get me started on Lethera....

So who is available? Would need to be decent/good on the PK.

Fill in the void...
Giroux-Couturier-Konecny
JVR-Patrick-Voracek
Lindblom-XXX-Simmonds
Raffl-Laughton-Weal

 

[David Bruce Banner]

How about Sam Gagner... ohhhh, "good"... never mind.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I mean, Chris Tierney seems like exactly what you’re looking for, but we aren’t really in a position to trade him without getting a better center somehow.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Why did they get rid of Filppula?

 

[Harhis]

Why did they get rid of Filppula?

Because he is really really bad.

 

[Wanderson]

Filppula for a 2nd rounder

 

[dats81]

No reason to even take this any further since Hextall already said that the void will be filled from within.

 

[Langdon Alger]

You can has Zack Smith

 

[Tripod]

You can has Zack Smith

Pageau would be ideal.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I don't want one that bad. I'd rather roll with Frost, Vorobyev, or Laughton.

But, if we were to acquire a #3C then I want the player we acquire be a very good penalty killer

Giroux
Patrick
Couturier

Giroux was an 102 point LW playing with Couturier as his center for 82 games. It's unlikely they break up that combo.

I mean, Chris Tierney seems like exactly what you’re looking for, but we aren’t really in a position to trade him without getting a better center somehow.

Interestingly, he went 35 spots behind Laughton in the 2012 draft.

Giroux and Couturier have been playing together and looking fantastic. Doubt they'll be separating those two any time soon.

Pleky for a 2019 2nd.

Nah, Hakstol would like him too much

 

[Empty Net Goal]

Don't be a fool. You know Lehtera is going to be 3C all season.

Having Giroux on the wing is a waste of his skillset. Sorry.

 

[gdsmack267]

Sheennan + 2nd rounder for simmonds

 

[mdm815]

102 points doesn’t scream waste of skill set. He still takes draws when needed too.

 

[PitchNHL]

Sheennan + 2nd rounder for simmonds

That would never happen. Ever. And trade value isn’t the problem here.

Don't be a fool. You know Lehtera is going to be 3C all season.

?? ?? ?? ? ??? ? ? He just put up 102 points after three straight seasons no longer being a PPG player.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Having Giroux on the wing is a waste of his skillset. Sorry.

I might agree if we didn't have someone like Couturier, but the two just have so much synergy that it would be foolish to break them upon based on last season's results.
