Confirmed with Link: Cooper Marody traded to EDM for '19 3rd round pick

Is Laczynski a C or a RW?

Is Laczynski a C or a RW?

RW mostly. That'll be his pro position.

 

[Magua]

All 3 college kids will play the same position as pros: RW. That had to factor in. Even if NAK goes to the Flyers next year, that’s a lot at one position.

Meltzer has whispered for awhile that the Flyers much prefer the other two. It’s plausible that one could play LW, but it’s why I’m saying maybe the Flyers didn’t want to sign him either. They could’ve made their choice too.

 

[Curufinwe]

You have to think this increases the chance of him being signed when OSU get knocked out.

 

[Hiesenberg]

This is just shit we've been talking about...players will eventually be moved, if the Flyers keep doing well in drafts.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I can tell you that I didn't wake up today thinking Marody was going to be traded

 

[Rebels57]

Im indifferent.

Gives us another draft pick to play with heading into the trade deadline next season, when we are hopefully buyers for a change.

He won’t even have to leave town.

 

[Hakroach]

I'm glad he got traded to Edmonton. He'll surely bust now.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Well... I'd rather have a 3rd rounder than Marody, so I guess it's a good deal.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Shayne "The Goat" Gostisbehere was a 3rd rounder

 

[YEM]

hmmm feels very patrick sharpish

sharp was a 24 year old pro when traded

 

[VladDrag]

Shayne "The Goat" Gostisbehere was a 3rd rounder

so was Goulbourne

 

[FlyTimmo]

so was Goulbourne

Don't disparage Ghoul. He single-handedly sparked a 7 game win streak. We would still probably be 1st in the metro with him.

Best first NHL shift in Flyers history.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

A minor deal that actually tells us a good bit.

Also a good reminder that 3rds matter. He's not a nothing prospect even if I prefer others on the same general tier.

 

[mja]

I'm more than fine with this. We have such a deep pool, if Hextall can flip some guys they're not so bullish on for future picks while they still have value he should do it.

 

[BillDineen]

This is one of those things that will potentially bother me for 15 years if he pans out. As such, I would have liked him kept and been the loser among RW prospects at the pro level and then traded or let go.

 

[KrazyKat]

so was Goulbourne

I'm not even kidding I'd love to cal him up again. He's that physical presence we are missing. Sparks the team. Gets opponents off there game. Could even be a decent penalty killer...

 

[gertbfrobe16]

frendly feeling out trade before the simmer/ haag to edmonton for rnh 1st round pick at the draft trade

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I have to assume he told the Flyers he wasn't signing here because of the logjam of prospects.

It sucks to see him go. A good prospect.

I think it’s more likely Marody wants to turn pro now, & the Flyers didn’t have room for that to happen.

After all, Marody had some academic problems at Michigan.

 

[Tripod]

Giroux Couturier Konecny
Lindblom Patrick Voracek

That top 6 could be in place for the next 4 years. And even then, it's Couts and G who are UFA's so they could re-sign.

Ratcliffe Frost Allison
Rubstov Vorobyev Aube-Kubel
Twarynski Laczynski Kase
Strome Marody Sushko
Cates Bunnaman Lycksell

And to think, the Flyers have 2 1st rounders in which 1 will be used on a F for sure. And everyone else we draft in just 3 months time.
And still has Simmonds who could be moved for futures.
And they still have guys like Laughton, Weal, Leier, etc... that I did not include.

Hextall will keep having to thin the herd, and add more picks into the future to keep the pipeline of kids coming. That's the beauty of drafting well. If you have so few busts, you keep the guys you expect to be the best, and roll the other ones over into more future picks.

 

[deadhead]

Given there's no room on the top six for a while (and then Ratcliffe and Allison would probably have an edge on him, maybe Rubtsov or if they wanted to move Frost to wing), Marody's future with the Flyers was to compete in the AHL for a bottom six role. His skills aren't ideal for a checking role, and he'd be competing with similar players in Kase, Lycksell, Cates and Laczynski (i.e. more scorers than muckers) for a 3rd line scoring role.

He sounds like a slightly bigger version of Weal, guy who'll probably be a better scorer in the AHL than the NHL.

Getting a 3rd for a guy you drafted 6th two years ago is great value.

 

[Hockeypete49]

hmmm feels very patrick sharpish

What? Sharp had it all over Cooper. Not even close as a NHL player.

 

[deadhead]

After Marody spent a year in the AHL, his trade value could plummet, but it would be unlikely to get much higher, since he'd struggle to get PT in LHV, much less Philly. So however he turns out, this is the right move, you can't make decisions based on the fear of making a mistake.
