Confirmed with Link: Nicolas Aube-Kubel new contract 2 x 1.075AAV

[Ghosts Beer]

Roster space
Cap Space
Lots of youth

The last thing you do right now is pay Pitlik 2 mill per year,,, and Im a fan.

Raffl makes $1.6M. You don't consider Pitlick at $1.75M for one year? I do.

100% no, why do you need 2 of them ??? 1.6 - 1.75 mill to sit in the press box is dumb

 

[Striiker]

Pitlick has done nothing to deserve making more than Raffl

$1.75m would be an overpayment. Not to mention that we shouldn't bring back Pitlick even at league minimum because we need lineup space.

 

[ajgoal]

Of course. Though I have said that we would have no "stacked" 1st line and my PERSONAL lines would be:

Lindblom Couts Jake- 2 way "heavy" line
Giroux Frost TK- OZ faceoff line who wants to play with speed
JVR Hayes Farabee- Puck Hog line
Raff Laughton NAK -Damn good 4th line

And we know Frost would still be 3rd...maybe even 4th in ES TOI for our C.

I consider swapping JVR and Lindblom, but this is about where I am.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers have to pay all the guys they already signed, and we don’t know when the AHL or NHL will resume.

Not only is a guy like Pitlick unnecessary from a hockey standpoint, financially it makes no sense to guarantee at least $1m to a veteran when you have all these guys in their early 20s who can fill out your lineup.

 

[Rebels57]

What is "high" in the current market?

A 1st I would think

 

[The Madrigal]

They'd be dumb not to re-sign Pitlick if they can get him for 1 million. That's barely over the league minimum at this point which is what you have to pay for a spare forward. The problem is he will probably want and get 1.5 - 1.75 million. That wouldn't be a wise investment for the Flyers unless they are able to dump JVR somehow. Even then I'm not sure it's a move they should be making, and I like the player.

 

[dats81]

A 1st I would think

A late first would probably be top of what you can get on the market for a player like Laughton.

And while it sounds okay to just recoup the pick, I'm lukewarm about letting him go now that he is hitting his prime, knowing that whoever they get with this pick will likely not be a factor for many years.

 

[FLYguy3911]

If you do not accept a first round pick for one year of Scott Laughton, you are not competent at your job.

 

[orangey]

With all the RW's they have coming in Pitlick makes no sense. Thanks and GL to him and his peppy motor.

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't think you can get a 1st for one year of Laughton.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Raffl makes $1.6M. You don't consider Pitlick at $1.75M for one year? I do.

Raffl is far better than Pitlick. I like Pitlick but he's superfluous.

 

[VladDrag]

I don't think you can get a 1st for one year of Laughton.

I don't think he's worth a 1st, but I can see a scenario where the possibility of acquiring a first for Laughton exists.

 

[TCTC]

I don't think he's worth a 1st, but I can see a scenario where the possibility of acquiring a first for Laughton exists.

I think he's worth a mid to late 1st. Worse player have fetched a 1st round pick.

I wouldn't trade him for a 2nd unless we really need the cap space.

 

[Rebels57]

I don't think you can get a 1st for one year of Laughton.

Yeah thats why I would consider it an overpay that id have to accept.

Tampa did trade a 1st for Goodrow whose contract expires in 2021. Two playoff runs vs one, but Laughtons also a better player. Ya never know.

San Jose's 3rd came back in return.
I could see Laughton and our 1st to move up in the draft, or Laughton and our 2nd to move into the end of the 1st round.

Tampa sent a prospect too but the main pieces were Goodrow for the 1st

 

[deadhead]

Kapanen landed a 1st and a prospect (late 2nd rd pick) whom Toronto coveted.
He has 2 years at $2.3M before he becomes a UFA.

 

[Larry44]

I agree they really don't have room for Pitlick under the cap, as Pitlick probably earned a raise that he'll get somewhere else. It's a pity, because he was the best forechecker and one of the few who had speed and size to make an impact on the forecheck. We need some of the cheap kids to pan out.

We desperately need them to get a legitimate shot, too. The best thing that could happen is possibly falling on their face next year, they fire AV & Friends, trade Hayes, Fire Chuck, Fire Dave Scott, Retire Fire Holmgren, and bring in a non-dinosaur ... who probably doesn't exist.

Yeah, we're f***ed.

 

[Curufinwe]

Who were the Flyers' best "support" forecheckers in 2019-20?

 

[pit]

Kapanen landed a 1st and a prospect (late 2nd rd pick) whom Toronto coveted.

Kapanen is an RFA at the end of his deal.

 

[deadhead]

Kapanen is an RFA at the end of his deal.

My bad, he'll have one RFA season left.

 

[Striiker]

Surely there must be a mistake on that list, since JVR is "lazy" and "does nothing other than score".

 

[kudymen]

Has he been waived yet?
