Value of: Nolan Patrick

Migraines may have derailed his career, but the fact of the matter is Nolan Patrick looks awful in Philly. Maybe he'd benefit from a fresh start. Is there any interest in him as a reclamation project?

He needs to go somewhere warm. I’m a migraine sufferer and he should steer clear of Canada. I would if I could.

Imagine the Sharks would have significant interest in Patrick. Not only because his name combines two of the greatest all time Sharks, but because I don’t think we have a single center under 25 in the whole organization.

What is Philly’s needs?

I would think Colorado would be interested, what’s the ask?

Other Flyers fans might disagree, but I'd say a reliable RHD.

Anaheim has interest

Ah, don’t think we have one of those who fits into your cap structure. Anything else?

Right after that nice shootout goal.
Maybe a team that heavily scouted him and lost him when lottery results got in could overpay.

Put him at c or rw on top 9 and give him a full season. Both positions are loaded and lucky for him Frost went down. Kind of stuck in number's game.
Hold on, resign at low cap hit and simply expect value from there.

Andreoff and Aubé-Kubel cant help him much offensively.

Very good veteran defenseman.

We got two of them, but they’re expensive and I can’t see the Flyers making an offer the Sharks would be interested in to be honest.

swap for Mitts and hope we both win?

I think Philly would be smart to recuperate assets from him now.

A team desperate for young centers like San Jose, Anaheim, Detroit, Ottawa would overpay for a reclamation project without realizing there isn't that much to reclaim. He has serious health concerns that could end his career on any given day, but even those aside the on ice product is very underwhelming.

Interesting. I too am a migraine sufferer in Minnesota, and the worst migraines I have ever had were the 3 years I lived in North Carolina. I think what I have learned is no two are alike but equally as hard to deal with.

I don’t think anyone is overpaying for Patrick at this point... he’s in the 2nd round pick, B prospect range of Philly is looking for futures.

 

[Sparky93]

Giordano for Ghost, Patrick +2nd
Or
Bennett(50% retained) + 3rd for Patrick

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Dylan Strome straight up.

 

[Kurrilino]

Olli Maataa for Patrick

I think I'd rather have the 2nd round pick. I know picks always get overrated on this site but a 2nd rounder could be used to get a solid veteran rental or a shot in the dark at a faller from the first round.

Patrick is locked in that unfortunate territory where he doesn't have the speed/grind needed to be a great bottom-6 guy, but he doesn't have the ability to be a big producer in the top 6.

I don't know if all of Canada is off limits but I also get Chinook headaches here in Calgary

 

[Flgatorguy87]

I think the Preds should inquire.

 

[Tripod]

No sense trading him now when his value is low. He needs to get games under his belt while remaining healthy and migraine free. But his season this year:

First 7 games: 2+3=5 even+/-
Last 16 games: no points and -5

He should be placed on the 4th line with Raffl and NAK and not "relied" upon for for offense. Just get him playing good hockey and chip in when it happens. Oh, and off the PP. He is 12th in forwards in points with 5...yet Laughton has 15 points....and Patrick plays on the PP. Take all the pressure off of him, and get the year under the belt, and hopefully a great offseason of training.

Remember, he just started to be able to play pick up games last fall. No need to trade him for pennies on the dollar.

Giordano for Ghost, Patrick +2nd

Bennett(50% retained) + 3rd for Patrick

I'm not sure if Gio is worth Ghost one for one, not this year so far, let alone adding Patrick and a 2nd.

The Bennett one seems closer but don't see why the Flyers would do it. Maybe because of playoff Bennett.

 

[LRS87]

McCann+3rd

 

[YP44]

Olli Maataa for Patrick

1) value favors la big time
2) even though value favors LA i don't think they do it as it adds to a log jam of forward fighting for icetime.

thought of them and Columbus
