I'm actually okay with this. Ellis would work wonders with Provy.

 

[Embiid]

Is this good? Do we want this?

This has to be the best trade they could’ve made, right? Like I’m surprised sort of, but I don’t see any negatives and am very chill. Keep 13. Keep Frost. Prioritize Sanheim over Myers, who I like but Ellis is simply far better. Patrick, regrettable potentially but not essential. Gives them another protection spot for JVR, hopefully.

A healthy Ellis is an excellent fit, even with Provorov. He’s never shown especially well on the PP though, so I don’t know if that affects anything here. Well, on PP2 obviously. The only downside is Ellis is a smol boi, and he will be ground to dust in the playoffs.

Its as if we hard knew ye, rosy cheeks.

Thats a decent deal in my books.

Patrick will have a damn good opportunity in Vegas.

I'll give Chuck credit for this.

Well, sad they gave up on Nolan (or that Nolan gave up on the Flyers).

The defense is better, at least.

Yes.

I like it a lot. We got good value out of Patrick and Myers even after they had rough seasons. I hope they play well for Nashville.

 

[Prongo]

I called the f***ing Patrick for Glass trade at the deadline just had the wrong team acquiring Glass lol

 

[sauce88]

I like this move. Now get Sanheim a competent partner and they can roll two top pairs.

 

[Chinatown88]

Godspeed Nolan.

Someone post some nerd chart telling me that I'm a dipshit and should feel bad.

 

[GKJ]

So NAK or JVR gets protected or they go 4-4

 

[FlyerNutter]

I wonder if its strange I will miss Myers more than Patrick.

No cause of his, but those health issues and in turn really not showing a whole lot was such a disappointment for a 2nd overall pick.

 

[Danko]

Patrick wanted out. I like Myers but this fills a need

 

[Hurricane28]

Like it. Would prefer adding another d man too

 

[flyersfan187]

Good stuff

Patrick got flipped to Vegas.

What? We’re protecting Provy/Sanheim/Ellis for defensemen.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Please for the love of god keep Voracek.

The ginger count is going up as it should.

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

Wow! Way to go Chuck gonna miss Myers but big move

 

[Striiker]

Well done Fletcher. For once I say that unsarcastically.

I don't like giving up on Patrick and I fear we could end up regretting that, but I like the idea of selling high on Myers because I'm not all that impressed by him and this was a trade that I would've expected us to give up much more to get done.

It scratches their top pair RD itch, we didn't end up with Jones or Savard or anyone crappy, and we keep Sanheim/Frost/13 and all other high value assets.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Patrick got flipped to Vegas.

Very interesting. He could have a good opportunity there.

No, this trade makes the Flyers better.

It's on Patrick to make this look like a long term loss for the Flyers.
