Flyers Mailbag: How much change will trade deadline bring?

[...]

General manager and team president Chuck Fletcher will be a cautious buyer.
“For our situation, I don't know if it makes sense to pay a massive price for rental right now,” he said recently. “I don't think that that is the right move for this group but if we can add a forward that can help our team, sure. But where are we going to be in six months or 12 months? I'm an optimistic guy, but I'm hoping Oskar (Lindblom) and Nolan (Patrick) are a big part of that too, so if that's the case and, you always want to look at what you're giving up to get. Certainly we're looking at every situation and our goal is to make the playoffs. We want to get in.”

SoundFlyer14: Which position is most likely to be addressed at the deadline? #flyersmailbag
It’s obvious enough that Fletcher hasn’t even tried to keep those cards close to the vest: the Flyers need help at center. They’ve tried nearly everyone in the organization at 4C and while Patrick would be a boon if he could return, the Flyers still may need more help.
The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun mentioned Ottawa’s Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Montreal’s Nate Thompson and Los Angeles’ Trevor Lewis as possibilities. Pageau would probably be the best fit and, naturally, the highest cost to acquire. All three are pending free agents.
Another low-cost option could be Calgary’s Mark Jankowski. The pending RFA has had a rough year for the Flames and a $1.675 million cap hit, but recently got a vote of confidence from interim coach Geoff Ward as being a part of the team’s long-term future.

 

[Magua]

I’ve always said we are 1 Mark Jankowski away from competing.

 

[Striiker]

Frost or bust

Screw wasting assets when we have the solution already

 

[deadhead]

Solution to what?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Solution to what?

The Fermi Paradox.

 

[Chinatown88]

Beef can you beat up Mark Jankowski?

 

[Rebels57]

LeBrun mentioning Nate Thompson sure is a head scratcher. Hes worthless. Id rather have Bunny as 4C.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

LeBrun mentioning Nate Thompson sure is a head scratcher. Hes worthless. Id rather have Bunny as 4C.

Yeah but it’s bias for action even if it’s just for the sake of it.

 

[Striiker]

The idea of Fletcher making a trade

 

[Maurice of Orange]

LeBrun mentioning Nate Thompson sure is a head scratcher. Hes worthless. Id rather have Bunny as 4C.

LeBrun also mentioned Trevor Lewis as a possibility at 4C but I thought he was a RW.
I wouldn’t mind philly adding a center that could shift to wing on the cheap but it’s gotta be the right hockey move.

 

[Rebels57]

He doesnt seem overly eager to make a trade and I think if he does, the player will be a legitimate upgrade.

 

[Striiker]

Based on?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

We don’t really have capspace to do something bigger though. The options more than likely are stay put or make a smaller move.

 

[deadhead]

Thompson, just say no. Bunnaman is probably a better option.
Lewis on the cheap would add depth.
Pageau would be too expensive and not offer enough.

Who is the worst possible player we can add who has an NHL history and connection to Minnesota?

We can trade Stewart there and trade back for him.
