Rumor: Lavoie: Gaudreau to be traded by free agency

[Jerzey Devil]

Calgary needs a goalie. Maybe the Rangers are in on Johnny? Young goalie plus ?

Nah I think the last thing the Rags would be looking for is another top 6 winger. You never know with them though.

 

[TheUltimateOiler]

This spells Boston and Calgary.
Gaudreau for debrusk as a base.

 

[Mr Positive]

If you're going to trade him I'd assume it's to make room to sign Hall. I dont see why they'd have to trade Johnny before they have Hall signed though, or at least arrange it while you can talk to Hall's people

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I can see Carolina getting in on this if the Dougie extension negotiations go south. With two years remaining, I could well see a deal shaped around Suzuki and a 1st, along with a roster player, likely a defenseman.

 

[Fatass]

This spells Boston and Calgary.
Gaudreau for debrusk as a base.

Johnny for Debrusk and Carlo?

 

[qqaz]

Big mistake, in my opinion.

 

[Tripod]

The issue with everyone who mentions Philly, is who goes back?

Can't trade Frost in a deal due to Patricks's health being an unknown.
Can't trade Patrick due to his health.
Not trading Couts...and Hayes has a NMC
So that leaves the Flyers with no C to trade Calgary which they will likely want

Now on to defense
Provy is a no
Myers is the Flyers only young RHD with top 4 upside
Sanheim...trading him makes the D worse and I don't think they want that
Ghost's value has taken a hit due to injuries and AV/Therrien taking him off the PP. But on a side note, I am willing to bet that any team that trades for him, gets him to rebound if used properly
Prospects: Zamula and York are top ones

JG is a LW:

Giroux, Lindblom, JVR at LW....Voracek, Konecny, Farabee at RW.
They don't "need" a winger.
A healthy Lindblom helps the team be better. Not trading him after dealing with cancer all year, obviously.
If you look at underlying stats, Giroux's numbers this year were similar to last year. Expect a rebound.
JVR as a 3rd line 25g+25a guy is fine

Any trade for JG means cap must go back. Who is cap at LW? JVR. And Flames are not going to want that. They will want some type of blend of Sanheim/Frost/Myers/Farabee...and the Flyers are not going to create hole on D or at C, to add another winger when they have 6 wingers who can all be 50-70 point guys.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

.
Johnny is a great player, who is on a very good contract. His trade value is very high. Calgary is going to get a fantastic return for sure.

This didnt answer my question at all.

 

[Toe Pick]

I hope Columbus is in on this as he’s exactly what they need.

They have goalies and D to offer up + Anderson.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Is he a Philly type of player? I said the Devils because I didn't think he was big or tough enough to be a Flyer.

So you have to be big and/or tough to play for the Flyers?

 

[bobholly39]

Is this guy a reliable source? Never heard of him. Seems like another clickbait thing made up for web traffic

Yeah, very much so. I'd put him up there with guys like Lebrun, Friedman or Dreger.

Not saying he's 100% right or anything - but he wouldn't just make shit up out of the blues. If he's reporting it it's because he heard it from a legitimate source.

Typically he's especially well connected to the Habs organization - I wonder if this implies they're involved in anyway

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Ok lets clarify something. To get Gaudreau it will cost:
- 1st
- Top end center prospect (1C potential)
- Solid young prospect/roster player
- Cap going the other way.

Anything less than this will be declined

 

[Tripod]

So you have to be big and/or tough to play for the Flyers?

Crazy how this myth of the Flyers being big continues:

Giroux, Farabee Frost, JVR(tall but we know is not tough)-none are big and tough
Konecny-small but willing
That's 5 of our top 9 forwards going into next year

Couts, Jake, Lindblom, Hayes-none would come to mind when people say "tough".

That’s my trade:
Logan Brown
Brannstrom
28th overall

100% legit. One of the best...

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Lol trash

No it isn't. Change the pick to the 5th and it's a good offer.

 

[Accelleratii]

I don't think Gaudreau is as valuable as everyone thinks he is.

 

[Accelleratii]

Philly makes sense but its gonna cost a roster player for salary, a top prospect and a 1st

Ghost
Farabee/Frost
2020 1st rd pick

Lol NO

Gaudreau is talented, but he's not worth all of that. Ghost and the 1st should be plenty. Farabee/Frost is a deal breaker.

Probably a package around Nolan Patrick.
Flames are not going to get a better C prospect in return and might take the gamble on him as long as the Flyers add a decent amount of futures...

Exactly the type philly needs a fast top line player who can put the puck in the net along with making plays, the perfect player to round out the flyers team

 

[Blaine8797]

Lol NO

Gaudreau is talented, but he's not worth all of that. Ghost and the 1st should be plenty. Farabee/Frost is a deal breaker.

I would personally do that giving frost not farabee

The Flyers are coached by Alain Vigneault.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Lol NO

Ghost is worthless. It would have to be Frost and a 1st.

 

[Drew311]

French name? Incoming call from Marc Bergevin.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I don't think Gaudreau is as valuable as everyone thinks he is.

he’s like 6th-8th (I forget where exactly) in scoring since he entered the league and the guys ahead of him are considered some of the best players to ever play... he’s actually horrendously under valued on this site
