The Nolan Patrick situation
“It’s a strange situation in that there isn’t an easy comparable, and with a lot of moving pieces up in the air, making a projection on what that next contract should look like gets pretty difficult. It makes sense to wonder how the Flyers will approach a contract for a player like Patrick who, while he is a former second overall pick and has a tremendous amount of potential still, they haven’t seen play hockey since the 2018-19 season. Add into the mix some rumors kicking around that the relationship between the two parties is a bit fraught and you’ve got a virtual firestorm ready for online takes.”
So what is his value currently in a trade and/or his next contract? Personally wouldn’t mind seeing the Wild inquire. Given their current depth at C and considering what Philly has down the middle with their vets and a young guy like Frost, maybe the Wild could call up old buddy GMCF and work a deal.
