Rumor: Flyers need penalty killing forward via trade

[Killer Orcas]

Brendan Sutter would be a perfect fit. He is an excellent pk/faceoff guy.

4.6 mill and not a rental.

As Canucks fan, I would be fine with a 2nd rounder and b level prospect.

Sutter makes 4.375,000 per not 4.6 and I'd be happy getting a 2nd alone for him.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Smith for 3rd or Pyatt for 4th

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Abdelkader for a 4th?

 

[clunk]

Brandon Sutter. Just give us a pick. He's redundant here.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Hextall trading away a pick or two to fill that hole goes so far against his style to this point. It just strikes me as odd.

He really must not have liked Nick Shore. He's made nothing but sense from the outside all offseason.

 

[Flameshomer]

Flames would part with frolik probably. 2nd rounder...

 

[pmwlker]

Flyers need to stand pat player wise and install a new system to kill penalties. It’s a systemic issue not a personel issue

You can have a 4th

I thought he would give Shore a shot as well. Makes sense to me. Like you said they must not be high on him.

An earlier poster suggested Frolik. He was great on the PK with the Jets. Speaking of Jets, Bryan Little would be an excellent but costly long-term solution. Ditto Adam Lowry. Andrew Copp would be cheaper, but not actually cheap and Matthieu Perreault hasn't played C for a while, but he can and is excellent defensively and is highly productive lower down the line-up.

An alternate idea is move Giroux to C on the pp and free up one of Couts or Simmonds to play C on the PK?

 

[Mister Ed]

Helm (40th OA in the NHL for PK TOI) or Glendening (9th OA in the NHL for PK TOI) for a pick.

Philly has the cap space and Detroit has the replacements (Turgeon) in waiting.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Paul Byron for a 1st right now. You get him for a full year instead of getting into a bidding war at TDL and getting him for a 1st anyway but just for a couple games and the playoff.

There’s no shot any team gives up a 1st for Byron right now.

Maybe... maaaaybe... at the deadline, if you can find a sucker.

 

[LordZapp]

Sounds like Ryan callahan.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Hextall’s mention of a “lateral move” is interesting to me.

Does that mean lateral in terms of salary, or contract term? Or lateral in terms of role on the team?

I wonder if it’ll be something like Lehtera and a pick for a guy on an expiring contract.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Just get Nick Shore on a PTO.

I think that is just Hextall code for a trade. On July 1st he could have signed guys like Beagle, Komarov or Comeau.

Maybe he wants Bellemare back from Vegas?

 

[Curufinwe]

Trade Gudas and kill two birds with 1 stone.

Gudas isn't what's wrong with the Flyers PK. His GA/60 is right in the middle.

No one seems to like Nick. Still no contract at the end of August.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Luke Glendening is pretty solid on the PK can be had for a 3rd or 4th rounder.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Sounds like Ryan callahan.

Yeah if Callahan could stay healthy maybe.

 

[Shootertooter]

Shouldn't Simmonds be that guy?

Part I: Pre-training camp Q&A with Flyers GM Ron Hextall

Sign Winnik, Chimera , Vermette , Moore, Chiasson ,

 

[SprootsMasterFlex]

Take Hagelin

 

[Captain97]

Byron for a 2nd + a boom/bust defense prospect.

 

[57special]

Winnik was decent for the Wild last year. Seems like a good choice?
