So do they get credit as an organization for knowing MM wanted to be a Flyer and stole him at 7? And that’s kinda a big jump that everyone doesn’t want to play in Philly. As a flyer fan you must be ecstatic that the # 2 consensus pick last year played his cards just right to come to the organization he really wanted to play for.

Offer panthers or Avs pick , but f*** me sideways do not trade our 1st next year.
It’s not? They stole mm because they did their “due diligence” knowing he wanted to be a flyer. Sounds pretty similar. Lol!

Once they have Farabee or Laughton and the picks, they can trade them back to #5 with a 6th in return as change

Does anyone have a spreadsheet or something else useful that shows prospects and what teams are linked to them?
Honestly. If it gets them Demidov, and that would make MM super happy. I'd probably offer just about anything to do it.
This is where I'm at too

I’d have to imagine the roster player was Farabee. I just don’t think Frost has much value around the league.

I expect them to botch the next decade either way. So maybe it's more fun for them to botch it excitingly instead of boringly!

They could've just tanked if they wanted a higher pick

That wouldn’t be the honest and right way to do things.
If they can make a deal around middling pieces and picks for the higher end picks, it sorta proves you don't need to.
Trade decent players for 1sts, then use those to trade up? I'm fine with that strategy vs tanking.
Problem atm is that the top 5 pick hasn't come into fruition.

12th + Farabee + Laughton + Atkinson + COL's 1st for 4th
Or
Konecny + Laughton + Atkinson + 32rd + COL's 1st for 4th
Do it, Danny B.

Yes the Flyers could have had a higher pick this year, but they tried to culture their way to the playoffs and failed miserably.
Now they are trying to use assets to get into the pick range they should have been at anyway and some posters on here praise the management (yea I'm trying to poke the bear here. Not being negative just stating facts about the current org)

I will be not be pleased (gasp, maybe even negative) if we give up a ransom to select Lindstrom.
Buium or Demidov I can get over overpaying.

There's a part of me desperately trying to cope with this management that wonders if this year was imposed on DB, and he had to prove that it left us screwed over before he got to do what he wanted. Almost certainly not, but still...

Didn’t the current organization do their due diligence/homework last year and knew the #2 consensus pick wanted to be a flyer and stole him? Secret meetings as mm let it be known to other teams he’d be in Russia for 3 years. Almost seems like this management team was tipped off to the fact what transpired was a possibility. Did they really fail “miserably”
I'm sure if he is there they will sweeten the pot

What!? You could offer sheet anyone for that much value. That crazy. There is no consensus 3 OA let alone 4 OA. Stay put or even trade back if that’s the value.
This. If I was a media member, my first question to Briere would be that you justified not tanking because you said high picks weren't needed. Now you wanted a high pick and ended up trading all of these assets.
Of course, instead the media will ask hard hitting questions like did you ever imagine the new era of orange would go so well?

With Hawks appearing to be out on Demidov from all the local reporting (I am not fan of Lev over Demidov) there is pretty good shot Ducks pass on Demidov as well
So If Flyers are after Demidov and Ducks have no interest in trading down Jackets are path

Do the flyers actually have 2 firsts next year? Isn’t the Colorado pick protected?

Both Laughton and Atkinson have negative value for me. But I hope Columbus sees Laughton as a valuable piece.
