As always, a member of the mod team will be posting the selection threads as they happen.

Feel free to use this thread for rumors and general discussion of today's happenings.

If I’m Columbus I think Farabee has to be the NHL player in that potential deal. I don’t really see why you’d be interested in Laughton. Obviously I don’t think Laughton is any good at this point so he doesn’t really accomplish much in reality. But even through the hockey guy lense given where Columbus’ team is at I’d venture a guess you’d more so want a youngish aged player under contract control opposed to an aging one.

I am a little taken aback by just how many people around here would prefer to include Farabee than the Colorado 1st. I admit I did not see that one coming.

Even though I’m going to hate the value they give up trading up, I’m going to pathetically talk myself into being fine with it because at least they’d have an elite prospect, instead of acquiring 3 morons with the other later picks.

You pretty much have to. No one is giving away high picks for nothing. If we want those picks we need to draft there or overpay for them. Ideally we would have played the entire season like we did down the stretch, but we're here now.

M. Boat,

Please make sure it actually is for Demidov before committing yourself to the bit.

It's the ol' "Mystery Box" line of thinking that comes with this board, which at it's base, is still a prospects message board. We've seen it for years.

How much is based in that and how much is based in getting a shiny new toy is lost a bit in the fog of war, IMO.

I'll trade the Colorado 1st before I trade Farabee 10/10 if given the option. If you're going to move Farabee do it in some other deal.

P.S. It could also be a tinge of we know Torts wants Farabee gone so might as well do it now to nail this down.

— Worried in the Western Hemisphere

Yeah, fair point.

If it’s not him I basically just give up the Flyers and start following a soccer team, no?

 

[Chinatown88]

Not first. Sadge

 

[Danko]

My dream list:

Laughton gone for a pick, hopefully a first
Acquire another first, make the trade with CBJ
Draft Demidov
Risto traded without retention.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Not first. Sadge

I know a guy.

 

[Danko]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Yeah, fair point.

Maybe the thread for Day 2. I'm assuming there will be 1k posts on this bad boy but maybe enough of the homies are tuned out and aren't really invested anymore.

Yeah, fair point.

Don't turn this into another Soccer thread. Man they go hard on each others leagues.

Alright, so per 32 thoughts apparently Columbus is asking for 12 + 32 + Colorado's 1st rounder next year. Why wouldn't you make this trade to draft Demidov?

They may. They’re not making that trade until they know he’s on the board though.

 

[Random Forest]

If Farabee is traded, I want McGroarty. I don’t want him moved for a trade-up.

Landing Demidov and McGroarty would be a fine outcome even if the cost to trade up is extremely expensive.

 

[MrGuyPerson]

That makes sense, but assuming he is on the board that is a deal I make every time. If they wanted 12 + 32 + the Philly 2025 I would tell them to pound sound, but Colorado's is very Dobable

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Michkov and 32 for Celebrini

 

[FLYguy3911]

I went to bed last night listening to Marek’s pod and as soon as Chuck Fletcher came on I slept like a baby. Don’t miss that guy.

Just a matter of time before he's a gm somewhere again, those poor bastards.

I am hoping when I get up at 2am, someone will have posted a (rhythms with cream) .... nug nug wink wink

 

[Appleyard]

If Friedman is right and #12, #32 and Avs pick was "too much" for Briere...

well Briere is driving a hard bargain.

As that is a very fair trade vs league value and likely player outcome. Flyers take on more "risk" but higher chance of a star.

I thought he says those picks, PLUS a player was too much?

I did not get that listening to 32 thoughts.
