Hear me out: RNH + Eberle + 2019 2nd for Simmonds, Couturier, and Gudas.
Simmonds fits our team better than Eberle, imo. Speedy, physical winger who goes hard to the net and can score. Couturier would be a really good 3C for us who could move up to 2C in case of injury. Lastly, Gudas fills a need on RHD, and is necessary to make the cap work for the flyers.
L1 - Caggiula/McDavid/Simmonds
Speedy, tenacious 1st line.
L2 - Lucic/Draisaitl/Puljujarvi
Big 2nd line that slows the play down, has a ton of skill.
L3 - Maroon/Couturier/Kassian
Big line with underrated speed & skill, that would be a nightmare on the cycle.
L4 - Gambardella/Letestu/Pitlick/Slepyshev
Pitlick is a stellar bottom 6 player, I hope he is 100% by training camp and gets a contract. Imagining him with Gambardella on the same line gives me goosebumps.
Pretty balanced forward corps imo.
D1 - Klefbomb/Larsson
D2 - Sekera/Benning
D3 - Nurse/Gudas
You could just as easily run Sekera/Gudas, Nurse/Benning, but for development's sake you'd put the inexperienced player with someone who could be a mentor, no? You essentially have a strong 1st pairing and two solid 2nd pairings.
This would be cool, imo, but the Flyers couldn't do it. They would be spending far too much on forwards, and are tight on salary as it is. They seem to be a team with that will have perpetual cap problems pretty soon.
