Speculation: Flyers in the market for a vet top 4 d-man?

[Tripod]

Yea and sounds expensive. And someone who would block our top guys coming up.

Maybe not.

Just a quick look...like a Adam Boqvist for Farabee deal. That is a young RHD who is ED exempt, and doesn't block anyone and would be part of the future.

Before anyone talks about value, I was just using it an an example.

Mike Matheson come on down!!!! Haha

 

[Tripod]

lol, the only player i can think of is Romanov.

see above

I’ve been saying Murphy to Philly for a while I like that fella

Would be a nice deal for both teams if the hawks are even motivated to move him.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Ghost is available, oh wait the Flyers are now looking to add to the defense instead of trading away defenseman.

It’s only 6 games into the season against 3 teams, I wouldn’t start overreacting quite yet especially since no one had a preseason also Ghost hasn’t played a game yet...

For sure wise advice and btw when u lose a Selke award winner at c for a couple of weeks that doesn't help. Saying that the 2 games in Boston made it very clear the Flyers do not a player that can properly defend a man in front of the net without Myers in the lineup. Flyers may catch a break in that next 2 games v Devils and Blackwood might not be available

They asked about Demers in the summer. Maybe they revisit that.

Mike Matheson come on down!!!! Haha

Matheson is on IR and Pittsburgh are in the market for a defenseman whereas the Flyers aren’t actually in the market for a D-man, this is just speculation.

No shit... I was being factious. No one is taking on that horrible contract.

Carlo for nolan patrick ? Fair?

 

[BernieParent]

of course...depending on the cost

The ED this offseason really does hinder what the Flyers could do this year but they still should 100% be talking to teams to see what is a possibility.

Manson's injury is a significant complication, but he otherwise would be interesting and could be left exposed for the ED since he has a modified NTC. The Flyers would probably be hoping he would be picked to avoid the $4.1 million cap hit next season. I don't think Fletcher would pay what Anaheim would be looking for, though.

Nope. We can't trade for someone that we would dislike to lose in the ED.

Trade Patrick to lose Carlo in expansion makes no sense.

Then add in that Couturier and Frost are hurt....can't trade Patrick at all.
