Teams that lack forward prospects/depth should take a shot at him as a lottery ticket, looking at the ducks,wings, blue jackets and Sabres imo
Seravalli: Nolan Patrick hires new agent
- Thread starter ucanthanzalthetruth
- Start date
He's going to end up in Vegas. The McCrimmon connection and Vegas seems to love Manitoba players.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
He's a good fit for the Flyers, he's just not a good fit with them at this time.
No doubt he can play in the NHL. But the Flyers draft prospects that can only develop in their system successfully, but will admit it's not the best place for prospects as it's a high-stress market. And the Flyers didn't need Patrick as the ownership there tends to want the management to be entirely in win mode which means signing the best free agents. Now I don't think the Flyers are bad at developing prospects as they have Provorov, Giroux and co. that have developed in their system successfully as they're a hit or miss prospect team.
But Nolan Patrick no doubt was more than ready for the NHL, but is blocked out by guys like Giroux, Couturier and now Hayes. Patrick deserves another chance with a new and I believe Calgary to be the team that might be the best fit for him right now.
Probably Tkachuk/Gaudreau for Patrick+.
If not Calgary then I think either Arizona, Columbus, Minnesota, Detroit, or Ottawa. But I think Vegas might go after him considering McCrimmon goes after ex-Wheat Kings. Rumour was Vegas was planning on drafting him if they won the lottery.

Devils need a 3C. Wouldn't mind trying to buy low on Patrick. Flyers fans, what would you guys want in return?

wow
that's insane
Multiple agents telling him what he doesnt want to hear.

-30 in 52 games?!? How is that even possible playing 13 mins a night?

The next lowest forward on the team is Voracek at -12. My god.
I know +/- is kind of a BS stat but this is ridiculous. Probably wouldn't even be dressed if not for the lingering draft pedigree.

If Seattle why wouldn't you? If you are going cheap take the upside flier instead of boring Kubel/Hagg pick.
How do PHI fans feel about him
Do you guys still believe he can turn it around and become a good player or is well a flop ?

When it’s that egregious between players on the same team, I don’t fully think it’s bs.

Sharks would make a lot of sense. Doug Wilson says he wants a new 3C, and we can give him legitimate chances to work his way up if he scored more than 9 points.
Unfortunate player has medical issues and there is always ongoing risk they can not be overcome.
That said, would send hometown PHI boy Deangelo back for him, straight up, 1:1.

That's a lot to pay for a player that won't crack the lineup if he doesn't step up.
I also know that both Columbus and Ottawa already have an overload of forwards for next year, so he'd really need a big improvement to make those teams. Yes I know they suck.
Vegas, oddly enough because they're so much better than the other clubs, is a bit thin at 4C. We'll see if Glass pushes others down the lineup. For now Kolesar is the 4C and Roy the 3C while Nosek is injured. There's room for improvement there.

I wouldn't do it if I was Edmonton, presuming you'll have to pay good assets to get him.
The biggest issue in Edmonton's bottom six in recent years is guys getting caved in, picking up huge minuses. This year was a big step forward, ever since Turris got the boot, so I think it risks a step backward to take on a guy that just got brutally caved in. I also don't see much of a shortage there - you've got Khaira/Haas and Mcleod/Holloway. If I was looking for a new center I'd try and get an ace defender like Wennberg.

He's not getting a raise. He hasn't been very good since entering the league let alone his health.

Patrick just missed a full year of hockey and scored a whopping total of nine points after returning. I don't think this guy has much leverage other than draft pedigree. If he wants to play hardball with the Flyers I don't think they have any issues with exposing him for Seattle.
Edmonton's biggest issue right now is a lack of forwards with any kind of high end upside. Patrick is 22 years old.
He had a poor year statistically and has had issues with his health. These are reasons why the acquisition cost wouldn't be prohibitive if the player is ultimately dealt.
With Khaira/Haas/McLeod, you're essentially looking at the offensive production of a fourth liner with very little additional upside to be expected.
Wennberg was never struggling defensively. Pretty good low event center and a high end PKer. The only thing that changed since Columbus is he's found some shooting luck. A lot of Jackets fans judged him because of the bad contract he had, and many are now wishing they could have him back.
