We'll take Atkinson back at 50% retention for future considerations.

(Or, alternatively, maybe some specifics as to who/what the Flyers might consider giving up would be in order.)

 

[Eggtimer]

Come on now...
Little bit of over-reacting.
Im a Devils fan and I can still see them as a wild card team. This division is horrendous but I think Hart is playing good enough to hold the Flyers in the playoff race all year. Once Hayes comes back it should help them... even though I hope like hell they fall on their faces.

 

[Kaen]

Teams that just made moves to be competitive over the summer don't burn it down 17 games into the season when they are above .500. If they did half of the league would be tearing it down at any given time.

To be fair, sometimes it seems like a sizeable chunk of these boards feels that's exactly how teams should be managed.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I’m surprised how much that team has struggled lately

 

[flyerslducks]

I’m surprised how much that team has struggled lately

Well we don’t have hayes, Ellis, frost, Allison, York/zamula

then we have av and his terrible system, worst pp coach in thierrien….we are in our own way

 

[YP44]

how has York looked in the minors this year?

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

What has happened to Farabee? He has one (!) point in his last 14 games.

[Fight4yourRight]

Flyers f***ing suck

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Can we just trade Homer,Chucky and AV for Halak, Ryder, a 2nd and just be done with them?

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Flyers f***ing suck

As a Habs fan you are definitely an expert on F****g sucking. Also you know a bad hockey team when you see it.

 

[BAdvocate]

Maybe the Flyers players can just switch jerseys with the Canucks players. Biggest trade ever.

I wonder how many draft picks Benning would throw in on a whole team trade?

Vilardi + Durzi for York

 

[Flyer lurker]

What has happened to Farabee? He has one (!) point in his last 14 games.

Joel Farabee 2021-22 Scoring Log | Hockey-Reference.com

He has been av-ized,.
When farabee and couts looks lost last 3 weeks it takes a special brain dead coach to do that.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

We Flyers fans are just melodramatic

Don't mind us

Last year they missed playoffs, this year they will make it. Just hold tight.

Flyers fan actually, but thanks for coming out

Still doesn't change that we're very melodramatic

 

[Perennial]

With Provorov, Couturier, Konecny, Farabee, Hayes, Atkinson, and Laughton all signed to long term deals, I don't think the Flyers are in an ideal position to blow it all up...

They remind me of the 2019 Blues team that won the Cup, so with the right additions and a little luck, they could be a playoff threat


Trade#1

To St. Louis: Sanheim

To Philly: 2022 1st, Scandella

Blues get a top 4 LD

Flyers add a 2022 1st, and a veteran Dman to help offset the loss of Sanheim


Trade #2

To Arizona: PHI's 2022 1st, STL's 2022 1st, Foerster, Tuomaala, York, JVR, Lindblom, Yandle

To Philly: Chychrun, Keller, Crouse

Yotes add 2 more 2022 1sts, and 3 solid prospects, while also clearing Keller's long term contract. JVR and Lindblom are a couple of expensive warm bodies to help them reach the cap floor next season. Yandle gets to finish what will most likely be his final season where he spent the bulk of his career

Philly get a top pairing LD on a team-friendly contract for the next 4 years, plus a couple of young middle 6 LW


Trade #3

To Vancouver: Keller, Frost, Risto

To Philly: Miller, Myers

Canucks get a top 6 LW who fits their core's timeline, a young C prospect who might benefit from a change of a scenery, while also clearing Myers' long term contract. Risto gives them a veteran RD to replace Myers for the rest of the season

Philly add an all-star calibre LW, and a veteran RD to help further solidify their 2nd pairing


Philly's post-trades lineup:

Giroux - Couturier - Konecny
Miller - Hayes - Farabee
Crouse - Laughton - Atkinson

Provorov - Ellis
Chychrun - Myers
Scandella - Braun


Giroux's 8 million cap hit comes off the books this summer, so even if he's re-signed for say, 3 years at 5 million per, that creates the cap space needed to give Crouse a raise to 3 million, and re-sign Miller to an extension at approx. 7 million per

 

[Larry Hanson]

Maybe the Flyers players can just switch jerseys with the Canucks players. Biggest trade ever.

Funny you mention that, according to Pocklington that almost happened with the Oilers/Leafs. They'd keep their jerseys but change cities.
New book about Peter Pocklington says NHL's Oilers-Tor almost swapped cities

"Harold phoned me and said, 'Would you consider moving to Toronto with your team and I'll move to Edmonton with mine, and I'll need $50 million," Pocklington told The Canadian Press when reached Sunday at his Palm Desert, Calif., home.
"So I thought about it and said, 'Yes Harold, I'll go for that."'

 

[tictactoe]

Vilardi + Durzi for York

whyt he f would Flyers trade York at this point? is that what you do when "fire sale"? you trade youth?

 

[Kurrilino]

Vilardi + Durzi for York

???? Durzi is York. Why do we add Vilardi on top of that?
