Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 2, More Flyers Rumors & Media Mentions: Say It Like You Mean It

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Obviously you can probably figure out how I felt about the Primeau/Brind'amour trade

What dopes

My first handle here was my feelings for Bob Clarke.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

I think Necas is really good, but I’m not selling the farm to get him

I don’t know what would be the cost though. Florida’s first and Anaheim’s or CBJ’s 2nd?

Can’t be parting from pick 12

I'm also not willing to part with pick 12 for him. Maybe Farabee + the FL pick or something like that? I dont love it.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Necas is a guy that probably has some room for increased production say with a bigger role.

It would just be so Flyers to gamble on that with a big contract + the cost of acquiring asset. Instead of getting the talent at a discount for a younger player.

The good thing about Farabee is that I think he has shown he can be a 60+ pt scorer if this powerplay could be even just a little better, and he’s under contract for what 4 more years?

The bad thing about Farabee is that he just might be a very average player. Doesn’t do anything particularly great.

I’d only move him for a midish first. His contract is fine and doesn’t turn 25 until February.

 

[mr figgles]

Not sure I feel comfortable taking a gamble on Necas as a center, especially with these putzes behind the bench.

Don't you have to do it first before you say he has shown he can?

 

[GKJ]

If they’re trading for Necas, they’re doing it because they think he’s a center. That’s the whole reason why he’s not happy in Carolina.

He's not happy because he's not playing center with Carolina?

 

[GKJ]

He's not happy because he's not playing center with Carolina?

Yes. They think he is a winger.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yes. They think he is a winger.

Well that's good to know when it comes to acquiring him then.

How long till Laughton goes back to 1C though?

 

[Danko]

Primeau in 04 playoffs tho

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Don't you have to do it first before you say he has shown he can?

That’s fair but I think if you improve the PP to average and give him a little more talent… no reason he can’t be at 60-65 pts each year

And part of the reason the PP sucked is Farabee, part of the reason the team sucked down the stretch is Farabee. Need a more consistent, better version moving forward

 

[Beef Invictus]

Hahahahaha yeah good idea, lose another trade to them

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yes. They think he is a winger.

I know who I trust more

 

[Random Forest]

Necas reminds me of Martin Havlat. He’s been in a favorable environment (similar to Havlat in Ottawa during the Alfredsson/Spezza/Hossa/Heatley years) and shown solid flashes without being asked to be The Guy. When he went to Chicago to be The Guy, he had an awful team and still put up decent points before getting reinforcements from Toews and Kane.

I’m not opposed to pursuing him, but I don’t expect him to become a true cornerstone piece, though he does have the skill.

 

[GKJ]

I think I do too.

 

[Danko]

Can hear it now..."Matvei coming over excelerates the timeline, we felt it was the time to strike and make this trade."

 

[renberg]

I’d be willing to try to obtain Necas. However there is going to be a bidding war for him. The most that I’d be willing to trade for him is Farabee. Nothing more than a straight up one for one deal. It probably wouldn’t be enough to satisfy Carolina. They’ll want a defenseman like York tossed in. That would be too much to give especially when an expensive long term contract with Necas would have to be factored in.

Honestly, Necas going back to center with his speed and shot is a good thing to have.

Farabee straight up is more than fair value. A 50 P LW on a good contract for a 50 P RW that‘s about to get paid. Doesn‘t feel like the right trade for the Flyers considering how weak they are on the left side, and how they have way too many RW already.

 

[Random Forest]

I agree. And I think he could be “good enough” as a 1st center option, given the depth on the wings that the Flyers have. Attacking the zone with speed and getting defenders to pull back opens up a lot of room for skilled wingers to work with. I don’t think you want Tippett on a line with him, but Foerster and/or Farabee would benefit from that skill set, I think.

Foerster-Necas-Michkov
Tippett-Frost-Konecny

Pretty solid top six, tbh. Good mix of speed, skill, and creativity.

Presumably Farabee would be part of the return, but you could have a bottom six with Couturier, Brink, Poehling, Lycksell, Hathaway, and Laughton if he’s still around.

 

[FLYguy3911]

It would include 12th overall.
