Maybe Hextall should just be patient and see what develops, it is 5 games, not 2 months.
There no point in making major moves until Hart is ready, and minor moves are best made patiently, not out of desperation.
Does anyone think Mrazek was worth a 3rd rd pick?
For the Flyers, draft picks have more value than most teams (since we draft better), so Hextall should be conservative about spending them.
If AMac doesn't get back to last year's level (which is all they really need from him, he's like Lehtera, a placeholder), then look for a low cost veteran defenseman who can fill in until Friedman/Myers are ready to be called up. Remember, Morin returns in February and you'll want to play him in March, if only to see what he's got.
Petry won't be cheap, he's a #1 D-man at 30 with three relatively inexpensive years left.
What do you think Montreal would ask? Myers plus?
McDonah and Miller cost
Namestnikov, defenseman Libor Hajek, forward Brett Howden, 2018 first-round pick, 2019 conditional first-round pick.
Ian Cole from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Nick Moutrey and a third-round pick
Nick Holden from New York Rangers for defenseman
Rob O'Gara and third-round pick
Michal Kempny from Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for third-round pick
Jamie Oleksiak from the Dallas Stars for conditional fourth-round pick
Sami Vatanen, conditional 3rd-round pick from Anaheim Ducks for forwards
Adam Henrique, Joseph Blandisi, 2018 3rd-round pick
2016-17:
D
Brendan Smith to New York Rangers for third-round pick in 2017 Draft, second-round pick in 2018 Draft
D
Kevin Shattenkirk and G Pheonix Copley to Washington Capitals for 2017 first-round pick, conditional draft picks and forwards
Zach Sanford and Brad Malone
D
Ron Hainsey to Pittsburgh Penguins for F Danny Kristo, second-round pick in 2017 Draft
D
Michael Stone to Calgary Flames for third-round pick in 2017 Draft, conditional fifth-round pick in 2018
A trade to upgrade AMac would probably cost a 3rd rd pick plus a sweetener.
