I absolutely do not want to go into next season with just some prospects promoted, high recipe for another mediocre season. Make a trade or acquire a high end FA.
Proposal: P.K. Subban

Trouba or no Trouba. Those two should still be moved. Somewhere.

Maybe Skinner in UFA? I really don't want to lose a guy like Voracek but I think it is inevitable that someone we all love is going bye-bye.

I think many fans in general are too infatuated with players. If we can replace a player on this team with someone better or someone who's a better fit, no player should be off limits.

"I want to trade our players for better players" is an A+ strategy.
Why doesn't every team do it? Beats me.

4LW, to be precise. That way his giveaways won't hurt us too much.

Even the Carolina/Calgary trade last year. They both finally made the playoffs this year so the perception is probably a good trade for both teams that worked out
I think Hamilton is the best & most consistent player in the deal. Lindholm is having a career year while Hanifin is a top four defender but a flawed one not much different Provorov really when it comes to net impact. All of them are young or youngish so you’re theoretically getting their best seasons of their career’s here moving forward.
The trade might end up (if Ferland walks along with Fox) a top pairing defender for a top six forward & top four defender. That’s probably a best case scenario of these type of shake up deals & could the Flyers really be able to part with those pieces?
Carolina had/has a lot of depth upfront & on the backend. They just didn’t have a lot of higher end players. They also went on to steal Niederreiter for a spare part in Rask later on which helped.

Everyone is so deathly afraid of losing a deal that no hypothetical is palatable enough.

That's true, however I think Fletcher will make one major deal to shake things up, and I think you will hate it.

Highly possible, especially since it will likely involve Ghost or Voracek.
That being said, if the value is there, I am not beholden to any of these guys.

It’s not being against trading in general. Voracek & Gostisbehere are often the guys named for these type of shake up moves. The odds just aren’t in our favor of finding someone better than those two in a deal. It’s way more likely we end up taking a bath or pushing.
It’s no different than Subban. If Nashville is trying to offload him & his sizable contract for injury/personality issues teams are going to be circling looking for bargain. They’re not going to take most of that contract on & give you some high end assets back in return on top of it.

I think they should absolutely give them a new coach first and if the season is still dissapointing, consider a move next summer. This summer should be about adding a coach and ADDING to the already existing talent, not swapping talent for talent. I won't be completely against a trade if the value is there, but i'd rather just add some good players and see what happens. A "shake up" deal is not necessary or fair to the players that have been poorly coached for years.

i'd be ok with Voracek depending on the return. Ghost i'm a little more nervous about because i think we need to be adding to the D and not subtracting from it.

No Prior Knowledge of "Flyers"
To invoke other names that have appeared here recently, so did Hamilton and Ryan O’Reilly, right? And O’Reilly was a pain in the ass for the Avs in all negotiations, plus he once drunkenly crashed a vintage truck into a Tim Horton’s. No enduring reputation for being a bad personality, though. Wonder why.

I don't think Fletcher is looking to "win" a deal, rather, he's looking to reshape the roster so it works better as a whole.
If he thinks a defensive oriented RHD like Spurgeon could stabilize the defense, he doesn't have to get equivalent value if Spurgeon's presence helps Provorov, Sanheim and Myers develop.
If he thinks the forwards aren't defensively responsible and are too inconsistent, Voracek and TK are the worst defensive forwards in the top 6, followed by JVR. Laugthon was inconsistent at ES, Hartman was erratic in the bottom six, and Varone and Knight lack talent.
I think he'll hire the coach, then they'll decide who fits their vision going foward, and that will drive any trades.

I mean.. gost does not suck and has plenty of value... We do need two way or better yet stay home... D that can play solid mistake free d and excellent on pk And a center would be nice.
New competent coaching staff is a must.

All this should of been done last year but it is what it is.

I have a hard time holding a trade from Montreal against anyone. That is a weirdo organization that runs on their own dumb rules.
