Canes say no.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Canes say no.

Honestly, I would probably be ok with it.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Flyers accept

Gudas for Rask

If the Canes do trade Faulk and no RD comes back in that deal it's possible. Philly probably throws in a mid-late pick.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

No, stop it.

 

[duffy9748]

No, stop it.

Done.

Carolina shaves 2 years and $10.1 mil from the books, gets a fellow Czech to help Necas get acclimated to the NHL and becomes tougher to play against.

Slavin – Pesce
Fleury – Faulk
Hanifin – Gudas.
Carrick/Vet 7th Defenseman

TvR flipped for a pick.

Flyers get the third line center they really need and while Rask is probably a little bit overpaid I imagine a guy like Bozak is going to get similar money on the open market this summer. It also frees up a spot for one of the Flyers young defenseman. I think it's a deal that makes a lot of sense for both teams.

With news of Morin needing knee surgery breaking today, this would make out D core charmin soft. Then again, if neutered Gudas shows up, its already there anyway.

I'd probably do it and look for a cheap veteran 3rdpair RHD.

It is important to note, however, that Rask just had shoulder surgery. Not sure of the magnitude. While I think this is a solid proposal that has logic for both side, I'm not sure Hextall would take the risk. Of course, he was part of the Kings FO that traded for Williams shortly after ACL, achilles and hand injuries; that turned out well for L.A.

Another soft average skater to Philadelphia? Great!

 

[Jray42]

I would say no to that deal.

A lot of other flyers fans would do it though.

 

[Brock Anton]

I’m cool with it. Seems like something that would help both teams.

 

[Chan790]

Wrong on both counts. Rask isn't soft at-all...and you'd be wishing he was anything approaching an average skater. He's a bad skater.

How about you suggest a solution than rather than simply complaining. I've got news for you, Filppula or anyone else on the roster currently isn't going to cut the mustard and the fre agent market isn't deep with top 9 centers.

That's a good point. My honest response to that though is, I think they can find a free agent RH D to play on the third pair a lot easier than finding an upgrade at center. After JT, Stastny, and Bozak there isn't anyone I would consider a definite upgrade to Filppula who we all know wasn't good enough.

 

[TSA0402]

Rask has a great contract.. and doesn't have a history of suspensions. Tough one...

For sure, thats why i suggested it :p

UFA centers are going to cost too much money and or term for my liking. Id consider Riley Nash as a speedy 3c, with the option to swap him to wing when Frost is ready, but off the top of my head - yeah i cant really think of anyone

It's JT, Stastny, Bozak as clear upgrades for the Flyers. Riley Nash is interesting and a wild card. Would I prefer him to Filppula, yes, is he a slam dunk significant upgrade, no. After those guys you might as well just bring back Filppula because guys like Plekanec, Derek Ryan, etc aren't upgrades. That's why I think the Flyers might have to explore the trade market if they are going to get the upgrade they need at center. If not Gudas maybe the 50th overall pick is a chip they can use to acquire someone.

Correct, And im not sure i want to overpay for those guys. Nash would be a gamble for sure, but depending on the asking price, one id consider. No big moves unless we significantly upgade the G position though - which we shouldnt do because itd be too cost prohibitive.

More and more im coming on board with moving Simmonds to Boston for Heinen +, which would lend itself well to acquiring Nash, since they already have some chemistry together.

Heinen straight up for Simmonds would be a good move for the Flyers in my opinion. Not sure why Boston would do it though.
