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

[Redpath]

Well, this could lead in quite a few directions.

Pure trade up from #12 to #7? TK package for #7? Chychrun trade? Pinto, Joseph?

If we get #7 I am going to be sweating out the Demidov news for the next 9 days.

Apparently rumored to be a trade up into the top 10 based on a tweet in the main boards thread.

That would probably involve both firsts and maybe a small add from Ottawa barring any salaries changing hands. Why you would make that trade without seeing who is on the board is beyond me.

Did they even bother looking at anyone else to coach the Phantoms, or what?

I'm sure they have.

Two days ago, I was worried about using 12 on Yakemchuk. Oops.

I just can't imagine they trade up before the pick is on the clock like Flyguy said. I may yell about that more than I did the Goulbourne debacle.

Given that Yost's tweet says it might not happen until closer to the draft, I'd imagine it'd be contingent on who's still on the board and not actually happen UNTIL the draft, but maybe I'm giving this FO too much credit.

Thanks Chuck.

Because they have a guy and are worried someone else will make the move. They were concerned last year about this, that’s why the Laughton rumors were out there.

It’s about f***ing time the Flyers put some capital into defensemen.

Wish I could see what their board looks like. Seems like they want one of the top D's badly if this is real.

If there’s one team in the league that reserves the right to pull “smartest team in the league” trades, with holes everywhere and few premium assets, it’s the Flyers.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Classic flyers to overachieve and still miss the playoffs in a rebuilding year only to burn assets to pick where they should have to begin with

I have ZERO info. It just feels like Dickenson to me. I'd bet they're one of the teams that puts an organizational premium on London.

Yakemchuk seems painfully on brand but Dickinson probably makes sense like Jojo said, they've probably seen a lot of him by keeping tabs on Bonk.

Spicy if true.

I'm sure its only if a player slid to #7 and I think its probably #12 + Morgan Frost for #7

 

[Danko]

i hope its philly thats been trashing Demidov to other teams to lower his value, move up and draft him.

They have to get creative to get high-end talent. I’m a believer in getting a guy if he’s your guy. It’s a wide open and bullish draft, distinct possibility they could get their 3rd or 4th rated guy at 7. I think they’re trying to beat Chicago to the punch.

I like Dickinson for what I think he is — way more than Yakemchuk — but that would be a colossal mistake brought to you by the team that took Provorov #7. And they didn’t trade up for him. I don’t see high end offensive upside, ES or PP.

But imagine Bonk and Dickinson playing together in the NHL. Adorable! The Flyers organizational team building strategy in GIF form:

I could see Silayev being just as high for them though. I have no idea who they'd value the most out of the three.

 

[Danko]

Would be open to trading Kolosov if he is still unhappy

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I just want to say that no matter how this all shakes out, I have complete and unwavering confidence in the Flyers to make the wrong decision.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I don't know what I want other than to burn it all down

I don’t entirely disagree. It’s very hard to pick swap top 10, as I’ve said countless times, but for the right guy, it can be worth exploring. You just have to operate under the assumption it is for the right guy. This team hasn’t earned that evaluative trust. Looking at the board, it’s a real 50-50 whether they’d f*** it up, no hindsight needed.

More importantly, it’s a life or death necessity to trade up to #7 brought to you by the team that says high picks aren’t important — they were giddy believing they made the playoffs — and they can build a core with 2nd rounders and bubblegum. But #12 + extra assets is a non-starter. I can’t remember the last time this team had any logical cohesion.

No clue the legitimacy but I thought I'd read the Ducks were hardcore into him. Verbeek is a size queen so it would be on brand for them.
