Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid: Flyers Rumors & Media Mentions

They aren't though

shhhh....

Would going after 2025 picks make sense if the intention is to use them as offersheet compensation?

I don't know who they'd offer sheet, and they already have all their picks to do so.

Offer sheets so rarely happen, and I feel immeasurably confident saying that Keith Jones (who wants both teams to win trades, who gushes over GM friends keeping Gauthier a secret, and who is a card carrying country club member) would never allow the Flyers to submit an offer sheet. It would be uncouth.

They rarely happen, and even more rarely work. If anything they are eyeing up Draisaitl when he hits UFA.

You can only use your own picks in an offer sheet, not any that are acquired.

Lots of negativity in recent posts. They are gonna resign 30 year old warrior good locker room guy seeler and 29 year old regressed to his mean sean walker. All they have to do is make the playoffs once in the next 4 years and they could win the cup. Cmon guys this is the new era of orange

Flyers scouting the Manitoba Moose again. I would imagine it is for Heinola or Lambert. If they take back Schmidt they may be able to get Lambert in a Walker deal.

The Flyers update was that teams are calling about Seeler and Walker as a package.

I’m skeptical they’d prioritize Heinola as comparable to a 1st rounder. They have York, Sanheim, Drysdale, if you’re banking on offensive usage. I know this team is fit oriented. Heinola will be a 23 year old RFA who hasn’t stuck yet. He’s probably teetering more towards a buy low.

Lambert would seem too good to be true. But it makes a lot of sense, if they want to bet on Tippett-like tools in a center prospect. His Liiga development was a disaster, but on a putrid scoring Moose team, he looks to have passed the initial test that his scoring can project up. He’s a real risk, but targeting someone like that would be a sign they know they can’t be risk averse to fix their skill deficiency (read: not Krebs). Like you said, absorbing a contract that carries into next year could easily be done.

That was out there earlier in the season too

I hate how much I know management is thinking like this too.

 

[Beef Invictus]

You ever get bored of being so miserable?

This is a very negative attitude. Try being more positive!

"Gee, Danny, I am REALLY going to play my hardest and my bestest so you like me on your team as much as I like being on your team!"

There's a whole lot of late first round piks that don't turn out better than Scott Laughton

 

[sauce88]

There's also a whole lot of late first round picks that are traded as part of a package for players better than Laughton.

 

[BernieParent]

But that isn't the metric of importance. Laughton is in an age-related diminishing returns spiral on a team that needs to hit big on prospects. He doesn't fit the projected window of competitiveness so early-round picks are preferable to his continued play.

 

[Appleyard]

I hate how much I know management is thinking like this too.

If they don't move Laughton and Walker given their age, relative level, and interest in them?

Same old, same old... even if "only" get 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks back between the two.

This is inconsequential, and if the organization thinks this way, we're doomed.

If they can make a few moves, and obtain lets say the 24th this year and a 2025 first next year… whatever it may be, you can still still select two or three in the 2024 first round, or maybe even get creative in a trade for a younger player, think Eichel or Chuckie trade.

This TDL is so damn important, we need darts.

 

[Danko]

Im assuming Flyers would be going for a center/forward prospect/reclamation project with any deal given the comments about depth post Gauthier trade

For those with a the athletic subscription flyers ranked #6 in prospects by Scott Wheeler

The Flyers' pool rises year-over-year thanks to a strong 10-pick 2023 draft class led by of one of the best prospects in the sport.

Great another 8 year mistake to go along with Couturier and TK. In a couple of years, they can start the multi million dollar social security line. As a rule, these contracts do not age well....

I'll take my chances with the pick

It was the most Flyers thing I could think of. I also can’t wait for that career year from TK next year and massive 8 year deal that follows.

But but.

He’s an all star.
