Value of Dan Hamhuis (Discussion)

[zcaptain]

I watch and marvel over your teams offense.....very envious!

So, I come in peace with an offer.........

Dan Hamhuis for Robert Hagg and 2015 1st

Now I did not come to insult you, but here is what I am thinking.......once you get winning like tonite, Hamhuis makes you much more solid of a threat.

The reason I am so free with your 2015- 1st is because isn't as low once you are in the playoffs, Hagg because I didn't want to ask for Morin (which I think? is your better prospect?)

Anyways......I will listen to you answers....thanks

Too risky to trade the 1st this year

Goes against everything Hextall wants (trading picks and prospects)

Hamhuis had a chance to sign here and chose not to. He wanted to sign with VAN instead.

So no.

 

[Hapiii]

Awful

 

[HammerTime44]

You say you don't want to insult us but you did just that. The Flyers are not making the playoffs this year and should in no way trade two important parts of their future for a 32 year old Dan Hamhuis.

 

[BillDineen]

Horrible. 1rst isn't going anywhere.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The Flyers virtually have no shot at making the playoffs even if you include Hamuis to the roster. The pick seeing as it's most likely going to be a top 10 pick in a very good draft & Hagg are more important to the Flyers going forward than adding a 30+ year old defender who's coming off his contract in another year.

 

[zcaptain]

Totally understand...where is your weakness.......and with all due respect, why are you guys so low?

I wouldm't expect you to trade away a top 10 pick.....totally understandable

Phili is fun to watch...just don't see them much out here......

Incidently,....always loved Harnell.......you guys missing him? Or was it time?

His sister is my physiotherapist........she is tuff! LOL

 

[dats81]

Hamhuis burnt the bridge behind him when he turned down the Flyers' contract offer.

He doesn't really fit to the forward core age-wise. And that 2015 st rounder could turn into a really good player.

 

[mja]

There's a slight chance that pick becomes McDavid, it is not getting moved.

Our D is atrocious and until very recently we have struggled to produce secondary scoring.

They're not going to the playoffs, so it doesn't matter.

This.

 

[Prongo]

Yea, this shipped has sailed. I would rather take a run at Boychuk in free agency than try and trade for him.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

There has got to be at least one bad-decent prospect that Vancouver could throw in to this deal, no?

 

[OriginJM]

I never want a player who had the chance to play here but passed it up

 

[RJ8812*]

**** Hamhuis

 

[BernieParent]

I would do the deal as long as the pick was top-10 protected, sliding to 2016 if so. Hamhuis would be an excellent veteran top-pairing guy to help transition the rookies into the line-up, much more than Coburn, whom Hextall could even more aggressively shop for another 1st rounder.

The protection is probably a deal-breaker for Vancouver, though, and I would understand why.

The Flyers are not in win now mode. They are building towards contending in 2 years or so. They do not have anywhere near the defense to contend and Berube is not the coach to take us to the next level. That said, we will be looking to stock-pile picks and prospects, not trade them.

 

[Embiid]

Hamhuis is a hick....he wouldn't like it here and didn't. Not his kind of town...plus I don't want him anyway at this point. Rather continue to develop our prospects on D with Hagg being one of them

 

[zcaptain]

Hey everyone thanks for the responses...interesting reads

I can see your position......

To drinkfightflyers..........Hamhuis and Lack/Subban/Markstrom/Vey.........nothing that would put it over the top for you guys

Mate, this falls into the pitfall of most trade proposals. Why would the Flyers trade an excellent pick and a good prospect for a 32 year old when we're not trying to win now?!

 

[Tripod]

Instead...why don't we help you.

Coburn for the Canucks 1st in 2015 and Shinkaruk

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

Coburn for the Canucks 1st in 2015 and Shinkaruk

You think Coburn is better and worth more than Hamhuis? Or were you just being sarcastic?

 

[Curufinwe]

Hamhuis isn't worth **** to us as a team that won't make the playoffs. Also, he's not having a great season.

 

[BillyShoe1721]

You could add Shea Weber to this team and they would maybe win one round in the playoffs. Hamhuis doesn't do anything for us with the current build of the team, it'd be a waste of assets that are going to be more valuable for us in the future.
