I hate that I will probably never be able to catch a good Las Vegas playoffs game this season (live that is)... in my time zone. That sucks.

what is our equivalent of brannstrom and a 2nd? Myers plus a 2nd? Id do that in a heartbeat
And make Stone our highest paid player at 9.5aav x8 years.?
Personally, I'm not trading our defensive players because we still are essentially hot garbage back there. We need to make sure we keep the keepers, until that gets fixed we have no "spare parts".
LVGK just went to the finals, it makes sense for them to be trading all these young players for quality veterans.

The Flyers don’t have the equivalent of Brannstrom + a 2nd, IMO. I’m a huge Brannstrom proponent; could very well be the next Erik Karlsson.
Closest the Flyers could get would probably be Frost & a 1st. And Stone was a UFA & far from a guarantee to sign in Philly if they traded for him. Vegas has a huge advantage because players love it there plus get the huge bonus of no income tax.

I have the exact oppossite opinion on Brannstrom. In regards to the the extension in Vegas, I believe that was in place before the trade. Obviously the Flyers would be reluctant to make any deal for stone unless a contract was in place. Frost and a first for stone imo is too much. I think frost is a much better prospect than Brannstrom.
The tax advantage isn't THAT big depending on where else you get an offer. I dont live in PA...according to the internets, its a 3.04% flat income tax. For Stone's contract, over 41 games, thats like 400k, (or one game's salary).
In CA, its 13+% for high earners, so he would lose like 1.2 million. Much worse.
I think it more helped that the LVGK went to the finals...and has a resurgent probably HOF goalie.

Just remembered that the Rangers receive the Lightnings 2019 1st rounder if they win the Cup. That makes Columbus on the verge of winning the series that much sweeter.

What alternate universe am I in where people wouldn't have loved to sign Stastny to a 3 year deal at a high AAV? Or sign Mark Stone as a UFA (2nd only to Panarin on our wish list)?
To even suggest otherwise -- simply because some people don't want to make dumb myopic signings or trades -- is a fake self-serving narrative.

At best he'll be Greg Hawgood. But not really, his offensive instincts are terrible.

I think Brannstrom is very good; I've always thought he was very good back to having him like ~12/13 in his draft year.
He's not the "next Erik Karlsson." That player doesn't exist (until it happens). He's not that anyway. Maybe the next Krug/Barrie. Perhaps I'm biased, but I'd take Frost today. I think I take the player with 1C potential over a top 4 offensive defenseman.

Are you a Ghost supporter? Because I think Brannstrom will definitely be better than Ghost, & it strikes me as odd that you would think so poorly of Brannstrom & label him Hawgood at best if you’re a Ghost fan.
