The Flyers have been involved in every trade in the NHL. Even the trades when they weren't in the league

Oh yes, that makes so much sense, let's trade Ghost, a top prospect (Frost, Farabee, York or Brink?) and our 1st rd pick for a LW.
That's because we only have Giroux, Lindblom, Laughton, JVR, and Farabee playing out of position at RW.
And Gaudreau would help to sell tickets, which is always needed when the Flyers are a playoff team.

Is JVR still considered a top prospect?

So what would you be comfortable trading to get a guy like Gaudreau? He's 26, in his prime, and only JVR has scored as many goals as Johnny in a season.
It would absolutely cost us a top prospect. Are there any you'd be ok trading for Gaudreau?

No. The Flyers need young and cheap ascending talent to counteract Hayes contract. Plus Gaudreau would be the absolute worst contract to add as it only has 3 years left and he would be coming up the same exact summer as Giroux and Couturier.

Eklund is garbage. He doesn't have any sources.
Timmeh might have been his main Flyers source, which tells you volumes about the quality even when he had an in.

This is basically spam, along with anything related to Eklund.
Stop giving him attention.

If it comes from Eklund is it really a "rumor"?

I wouldn't trade TK for Gaudreau straight up.
Gaudreau has been "exposed," that is, the league is learning how to counteract small players with his skill set, it's not that he's going to suddenly go MIA, rather, he's probably already peaked as teams learn to pressure him in the neutral zone and reduce his impact on offense.
Gaudreau as a 60-70 ES scorer is special, as a 40-50 ES point scorer he falls back to the pack because his size is always going to be a liability on defense.
He'll still get 70-80 points a year b/c he's very good on the PP as well, but I don't think he'll be the impact player he was the last two seasons.
Meanwhile TK is on his way to being a 50 point ES scorer who is becoming defensively responsible and a terror on the forecheck. His squat body has filled out and he can hold his own along the boards. And his improving wrist shot could make him a major scorer on the PP.
TK is 4 years younger and should age much better, on a 5 year contract. Plus he's a RW, which has more value to the Flyers.

It would create a cap crunch in 3 years and you’d have to imagine one of JVR/Voracek would be our by then. I’m not saying to give up the entire system for him, but if you can get it done with Ghost+2020 1st+any prospect not named Frost/Farabee, you absolutely do it.
Couturier will be getting 10+million in 3 years, I’d rather take advantage of his deal now and give this team a legitimate shot for three playoff runs.

I like how lazy he's become and simply connects his fake rumor dots in terms of where Johnny grew up.
Agree. TK must not be included in any negotiation.
I wouldn't have done it two years ago. Doing it now is a total nonsense.

Proper Eklund would say we are somehow landing Pastrňák. This is weak

Eklund/Hockeybuzz is essentially the Alex Jones/Infowars of the hockey world.

Giroux will be 34 when his contract expires. The Flyers better be thinking about moving on at that point.
