I feel like even the Flyers wouldn't be stupid enough to let Torts do his thing to Michkov.

I do not know they have done some pretty stupid things over the years....

  • Nick D. 4 yrs NMC
  • Jody Shelley 2 year deal because he once scored two goals in a game against us (I believe his only 2 that year)
  • The ghost/TDA debacles - how many assets were wasted in those deals
  • RR trade and re-up
  • Andy Mac trade ad re-up
  • Patrick Sharp
  • Giving Bryz an infinity contract with bob in the wings
  • Dave Brown in charge of player development/evaluation
  • KJ as POHO
  • wasting a multitude of drafts picks on goons

Of all the recent-ish moves, this is the one that annoys me the most.

The Flyers would have been better off keeping Ghost in every possible way. Assets, talent level, contribution and play on ice, contracts and money wasted.

OUT

Ristolainen

Such a ridiculous set of moves.

Quite honestly, that is a horrible idea. Not only do they have zero cap space, FA prices will further saddle this team for the next several years with replacement level players.

Of course the cap is always the other side of UFA. I am almost always against that too. But if we are assuming Michkov is 100+ pt player and starts this season then he is in for 10+ million in 3 years. And that + is likely real and a few more million.

Who would you consider a true 1C that could be had?

No idea of a real target tbh. But if TK gets you one either through the draft this year or next or a player or prospect you need to do it. It’s a no brainer for a young 1C but even a couple of 1sts is a must.

I have seen projections of him reaching that, but I think most reasonable takes (incl Appleyard) have him at around ~55-60 points to start his career. Not sure why you’d be clamouring to pay out the ass for 3rd liners to surround Michkov in that situation. Just draft well and a LOT, let him marinate and play freely without expectations of competing for the playoffs and let these terrible contracts go away. See what you have in your picks 3 years from now and then decide accordingly whether a few futures can be traded to fill gaps.

He’s your window so you have to look at maximizing it

Zegras seems like a perfect compliment for coots. Trade for him, bring Michkov, fire Torts, hire Brindy. Hope we get a top 6 wing and top 4 D this draft.

When Ville Leino was really good here that’s how he played

Is the "out" on TDA included under the Ghost list?
