As someone else has already said: Nothing you'd want to pay.
We're talking like...something around Nurse - which I know you'll find outrageous.

I hate this team
Fletch wants a top pairing RHD
We are not a match when it comes to TK due to the wide swings in ability on your roster.

Yeah, not trading a #1 D man for Konecny. Certainly with how Nurse played this year his value has never been higher.
We don’t really have any other forwards you’d want either in the same range as Konecny or slightly less plus a sweetner.
Can’t see a 1st + Holloway being palatable either as we need cheap ELC talent up front for McDavid and Drai’s primes.
Just not a good fit for needs/player combinations. Broberg is multiple years away as well and doesn’t help the Flyers immediately even at Broberg + 1st. I like Konecny, but yeah just not good trading partners given team needs and available assets.

I echo what’s been said with JvR being a potential awesome fit for the Oilers.

At that cap hit, no. The Oilers can sign someone cheaper without giving up assets.

easier said than done....but yes....that's what everyone thinks in the summer.

Seeing JVR’s name floated, thinking about it I actually like that potential fit given that we finally have cap space.
Veteran guy and we desperately need at minimum 2 top 6 wingers. He’s still productive and could add some juice to our top 6.
What’s the ask for him? It’s obviously less than Konecny given age and cap hit.

Fair. But the Oilers have the cap to be aggressive and the opportunity to play with Connor or Leon is going to attract some UFA’s. Spending 7M on a LW is just not feasible for the Oilers unless Koskinen/Neal goes back.

They should start by moving Vigneault, Therrien, and Yeo to the Unemployment Line.

Not just off two games, but those two games proved what I was thinking about Sanheim before. Never liked him

He didnt just have 2 bad games. He had a really bad month of March. But so did everyone else on the team.
Fortunately, Sanheim has been really under the radar excellent the rest of his time in the NHL.

Haven’t seen any of this under the radar excellence. Every time I watch him seems like he makes a few dumb plays or is out of position

Rangers fan doesnt like a Flyers player.
Shocking.
Lafreniere sucked every time I watched him play this season. Guess his career is over.

So far whenever someone asks about any Flyer player it’s either “ more than you want to pay “ or “ only if it’s Eichel level player coming back....
Weird . I thought the Flyers missed the playoffs but apparently everyone on their team is Eichel level and / or off limits .

As well they should be. The only players they shouldn't be willing to move are Hart, Farabee, and York. I'd give Provorov an honorable mention but for the right defenseman he shouldn't be untouchable. I wouldn't trade Couturier but when you consider his contract situation it's not so black and white. Despite what a lot of Flyers fans think, guys like Konecny, Sanheim, Myers, Frost, 13th overall, etc should absolutely be on the table for the right deal.
The Flyers have won ONE playoff series in NINE years. Clearly what they have been doing isn't working and the ''master plan rebuild'' that Hextall orchestrated turned out to be average at best. They desperately need to shake the roster up and try something different.

He is MASSIVELY overrated by a large portion of the Flyers fanbase. There are people on this board who constantly proclaim that he is better than Provorov, and we even have someone this offseason going on and on about he's better than Seth Jones. He's a decent 2nd pairing defender but he is massively inconsistent and as you mentioned watching him play sometimes you wonder if he has any hockey sense whatsoever.

Exactly. It's Nurse or bust, basically - and I know bust is the obvious answer here.

That's typically the response when fans from teams come in here looking to get young, high-potential players for pennies on the dollar based on Eliotte saying the Flyers are highly active (the most vague thing ever) in the trade market this summer.
We're trying to contend, so it has to be a "hockey deal" for the top guys on our roster. That's just the situation we're in. So if you want someone like Konecny, you're going to have to give up a legit Top 4 D or a similar caliber/aged forward.

Ok, so how many 3rd round picks do you think is fair for Couts, Konecny, and Provorov?

You really think we would trade a selke winner in his best years to a rival in the same Division. The flyers would sell the franchise before doing this!
