Soon...yes. Now...no. Put it this way.
In 2 years if this question is asked, I 100% agree. By then our young D is getting settled and we have a clearer picture of our needs. Kids like Sanheim, Provy, Morin, Konecny, Lindblom, NAK are all on the team.
We also have a nice pipeline of forward prospects in the way hopefully from this draft as well as our D still with Myers, Friedman, others who we draft on the way. And we have the goaltending pipeline in place too.
So now, all our pipelines are full AND we still have AT MINIMUM, 5 top 6 forwards (assuming we just stand pat) and Lindblom, Konecny, maybe NAK too. Our top 9 is looking very good and the d and g are set.
THEN GO OUT AND ADD MISSING PIECES, OR TRADE PICKS, FUTURES, A FEW PROSPECTS TO PUSH US OVER THE TOP AND ADD SCORING IF NEED BE. AT THAT POINT, GO AFTER A YONG STUD TO EVENTUALLY TAKE OVER GIROUX.
I 100% want a young F stud. But we don't want to remove what D pipeline we just built to do it. Wait another year since we are waiting on the rest of the prospects anyways, and use picks we are using in 2017/18 etc to add a stud....if we have not gotten lucky in the meantime.
Plus, if we EVER have too many good D, it will be quite easy to trade one for forward help.

Stars apparently listening on Sharp, looking to patch up their ailing D-corps. He'll be 35 in December but can still produce on the LW better than any of our LWs (Schenn's permanent position pending)
Would you take 1 year at $5.9m of Sharp (probably a 1LW for us) for the ability to unleash A-Mac's contract (and probably a sweetener like a 2nd or Hagg?)
Still unlikely I know, but we'd have to send Cap back to make this worthwhile. As much as I love Sharp, I wouldn't offer up MDZ for him. Schultz? Rights to Medvedev? Streit? Absolutely.

100% agree. No issue taking that chance. Especially with expansion, all it means is that instead of Laughton or Cousins being exposed, both are.
And if we did add Yak for say a 2nd, Konecny is off sure sent back to Jr to get stronger and then the following year, should have a bigger impact.
Stick Yak on RE and tell him to shoot every time G or Voracek pass to him. And as a LH shot, he is always set up for the one timer.

Vanek getting bought out.
That stupid **** Carchidi wouldn't shut up about him for months when he was expected to be traded. He constantly said the Flyers needed to get him. Now look.

MacDonald is not a cap crusher, Hextall will not be giving away picks to move him. He'll just dump him in the AHL

Let's say
48th overall for Yakupov
Streit and a 3rd for Sharp
Read for a middle round pick or prospect (for cap space)
Draft Bellows and Asplund.
Sign Nielsen for 3rd line duties.
Sign me up.

Nielsen would be damn pricy 3rd line center, he's not looking for that, imo. He will demand a lot. Where do we get another 1st round pick?
We should stick to Read for next year, and we will. He's not going to be traded. No market for him at this point.

Read + #52 for Yak could work since ignored gives the Oilers a 3rd line player who can actually play some defense. And of course it allows cap hits to be more balanced.

I am a tool. Mixed up Kuokannen with Asplund
Sry.Hmmm, did Nielsen develop that much? Damn, he'd be great to take off some of the defensive burden from G and Coots.
Read would be dispensable because if we'd ever get Sharp, Yak and resign Schenn there is only so much cap space.

And some say that the Flyers should be considering moving any one of Morin, Sanheim, Provorov, etc. in order to fill a hole in the roster up front by creating one on defense.
