lol.
Not gonna lie, I pray we get a return from a team that overpays just so I can read the reactions on the main boards! And a big part of me wants him to go to the Leafs, and have them fail anyways against Boston in the 1st round!
Also...3 games left until we have 9 days off. So maybe something happens that week!

Of course Fletcher, like any decent GM, should maximize return on a player when there is high demand. If he is receiving multiple signs of interest, I hope he has the savvy to play GMs against each other and drive up the price. We know, though, how this scenario has the potential to blow up, like an injury to Simmonds. The additional concern of mine, and the reason I am trying to keep my eagerness of returns in check, is that we know the media are all over the map with rumours and speculation. We see a player who is a shadow of his former self, and while there have certainly been cases of overpaying for a player on reputation, especially near the TDL, the tsunami of rumours flying around as the TDL approaches is generally not worth much of anything.

I agree. They can throw in someone like Raffl, or potentially just retain up to 50% of Simmonds contract to maximize his value. I have said all along and maintain that the Flyers will get a late first round pick and another piece like a B level prospect, penalty killing 3rd/4th line forward, or conditional pick.

Simmers return I think comes down to how many teams will fight for his rights. Seems like there are a few who would like him, I am sure the value will be good.

Late 1st and marginal prospect (3rd/4th rd value) is probably Simmonds value, he's a rental, and he's a tinker toy, not a top 6 guy, you're getting him for toughness in the playoffs and scoring on the PP, not his 5x5 play.
Voracek, if you can work out the money, is probably worth a 1st and NHL ready prospect who's a late 1st/high 2nd rd value).
Take some money back and you can sweeten the deal, like the B Schenn trade.

Have I forgotten anyone? All of these guys have had far more playing time than they ever should have had.
Voracek is worth more than that, that's the going rate for rentals and Voracek is locked up for years. Evander Kane is a comparable player to Voracek but with off-ice/character questions, netted a 1st/4th as a rental. Shattenkirk was a rental who netted a 1st and a 2nd.

Still ecstatic about that. I can't jump on the grenade again though. No tolerance left.

I wonder if Gordon was consulted on calling up Hart, or if Fletcher made the decision based on what he saw on his own. Either way, kid is way ahead of schedule per my expectations and I hope fans are patient with him while he finds his way. The ceiling is blatantly there.
I very much dislike carrying only 6 dmen though. That's only one bad chicken wing away from playing with 5 guys.

Fletcher actually sent down Lyon to make way for Hart. It has worked out really well, so he deserves credit for making a bold move in promoting a 20 year old goalie. But it just makes it all the more frustrating that's been too timid to promote Myers.

I still would hope they find a solid backup for next season. Can’t assume Hart can handle it for 50+ games, and I think its a bit unfair to him. If he does so, fine. If not? Can’t be throwing another season anyway.
Like the idea of a Cam Talbot, perhaps Khudobin if a reasonable deal could be found. Dubnyk is also appealing but think he costs too much and Minny seems to be foolish enough to think they don’t need to rebuild.

Gudas and Simmonds,Mac,Raffl on the block now and Weal already gone. Its a small start and we'll rip a few good trades at the draft and we'll have a new look boys.

Raffl is a hard working player who gives it all every shift. He's one of the better bottom six players in the league. He should be right up your alley, and if he were on another team you'd love to have him on the Flyers.
Yet here you are wanting him gone. What a shock.
