Trade him to his childhood favorite team, the NJD, for Blackwood and a 5th
Kind of defeats the purpose of moving him at all. So no thanks.

His leverage is signing overseas, like I just said. Quite frankly, it might be the best career move for him, especially if Flyers won't trade his rights.Hes an RFA, who has literally no leverage. I wouldn't be concerned about it at this point.
Realistically, I think he or Lyon are moved, but likely in a package, not as individuals.
No GM is going to waste a waiver claim on Stolarz, a goalie who no one knows if he can even play at the AHL level at this moment.
Likely wouldnt cost much. As you said, still a decent prospect but were out of room in the AHL at this point.
2nd?
Sandstorm is expected to be back in the SHL next year.The Flyers also signed Sandstrom from Sweden, their 3rd round pick from 2015, who is 21. So, they have both Hart and Sandstrom who seem bound for the AHL.
At the NHL level, they have both Neurvirth and Elliott under contract for the coming season, their final year on their contracts.
Then they have Lyon and Stolarz. Lyon is 25, with 2 years pro. He turns 26 in December. Stolarz is a 2nd round pick from 2012. He's 24 now. 3 years pro, plus last year's injury wasted season.
I'm not certain, but I don't think either one of these 2 guys can be sent to the AHL without clearing waivers. Given the age that Lyon signed his pro deal and Stolarz being a pro for the past 4 seasons, I think they need to clear waivers.
If that is the case, the Wild shouldn't have to part with that high a draft pick. Talking 3rd round realistically at most. Likely 4th round.
Hart is the main prospect, and he'll get the most starts in the AHL. Elliott is on the NHL roster. Even if they get rid of Neurvirth only one of Lyon/Stolarz make the NHL roster, the other has to go somewhere. And the Flyers need to develop Sandstrom since they signed him and he needs to adjust to the smaller ice surface.
Ok. Figured that since they signed him and he’s 21 that it was time to bring him over to adjust to the smaller ice angles.Sandstorm is expected to be back in the SHL next year.
He has 1 year left on his deal in SHL. Him staying there allows Hart to get the AHL starts along with Stolie or Lyon.Ok. Figured that since they signed him and he’s 21 that it was time to bring him over to adjust to the smaller ice angles.
I could easily see teams like the Wild or Rangers showing interest. I'm not too familiar with the Rangers prospect pool. So I'm not sure what they have in house for a post-Lunqvist existence.Nobody is claiming him off waivers.
But then they'd have to keep him in the NHL or expose him to waivers, themselves. If a team wants him in the AHL as organizational depth, a waiver claim doesn't help them.Any team that wanted to acquire Stolarz could pick him up, off waivers at the end of September or early October.
