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

[Audible Velvet]

I'm fairly certain this game just insured that we'll be buyers

Yep. Feeling the heat. Maybe a goaltender and a grinder extraordinaire? That would almost be too predictable, but it’s the Flyers. Nothing is shocking.

 

[CapnZin]

So lets say Danny actually sells heavily...are we gonna be done with the narrative for awhile? Does this buy him any trust?

Honestly, no. This deadline should be a one-way street with how they approach their long-term plan. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If you publicly state to your fans that you’re rebuilding, then you sell of pieces. That’s easy. I think the off-season with how they approach free agents is going to be a good sign as for what’s to come.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

I personally don't think this is a 3 year fix like these guys in charge do, I think it's a minimum 5 years, and that's with doing all the right things, no stupid trades, no bad free agent signings, you can rebuild without tanking

 

[GKJ]

Saw somewhere Edm has 9 million in dead cap next year

What in the actual Chuck Fletcher

So they have whatever they do with Campbell, the James Neal buyout, and Connor Brown (0 goals, 5 assists), Dylan Holloway, and Corey Perry performance overages. Brown’s is over $3.2m, but the others add up to just under $1m but I don’t know if they were hit.

What is selling heavily? Because to me that’s moving Konecny.

Rebuilding is not one year, it’s multiple years, and no, the last two don’t count. So it’s not only selling this deadline, it’s not signing who you don’t have to, and not buying this summer or next season either, in fact next deadline should be a sell as well but they don’t really have any more pieces to sell besides Hathaway, and depending what they think of Frost if they move Risto.

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

They lose tonight and trades start tomorrow

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

We need a 1C. Likelihood of drafting one isn’t very high since we never bottomed out. Anyone fit the bill available in a trade?

I know Zegras name is out there. I’m not very high on Zegras and also am skeptical of his fit with Torts but his stats his first two seasons suggest he could fit the category.

 

[GKJ]

Something that’s not talked about enough is that the 1C is really Michkov

If that is the case then they need to either figure out a way to get him over sooner or sell TK and guys of that age group off

 

[Random Forest]

It’s not the 1C answer, but I really do wish that more experiments were tried with wingers to see if anyone could be a plausible option at center. I sometimes see Farabee and Foerster as players who are smart enough to maybe make it work. Worst case scenario, it doesn’t work out and you move on. Best case scenario, you unlock a lot more value in your roster than you thought you had. Foerster, in particular, does a lot of things that remind me of young Couturier, particularly keeping good body position between the opponent and the net, and making smart plays out of board battles.

He could also just be an incredible RW that turns the 2C he plays with into a 1C.

It would go a long way for me, esp.if laughton is traded too.

The number 1 thing I dont want is walker or seeler resigned.

Hot take: Kinda like what Kucherov does to Point

IMO the pieces left to get rid of in various ways, not just at the TDL but over the course of the offseason and next TDL:

- Seeler
- Walker
- Laughton
- Hathaway
- Risto
- DLo
- Staal
- Atkinson

Then your going to need to make decisions on the level of talent of some of your younger players, do you keep them or move them out

Foerster played a LOT of C growing up.

I believe though when got to OHL moved to wing... though did play some games at C in 2019-20, draft year.

And I want to win Power Ball tonight too !!!!!

I think he has the smarts to play center but offensively, I like him better coming off the wing. With little in the way of quality youth coming in and Couts being another year older, I can see this team stumbling pretty badly next year. Even more so if they do the smart thing and deal TK this spring.

Perhaps they can land that elusive future 1C in the first round in 2025.

Yeah, I suspect quite a lot of NHL wingers played center at least partially, if not fully, in minor hockey. They all would have been best on their teams by such a margin that it would just make sense to be playing the more impactful position.

Atkinson is a buyout, I can’t see what kind of trade makes sense there. A skill guy whose skills are all shot and can’t hold down a spot and also has neck problems. He’ll get a PTO or something if he wants to.

(Asked About Tanev Trade)

“It doesn't change our asking price,” Briere said. “Yeah, [the return] was maybe a little lighter than expected, but it doesn't change our approach. If teams are not willing to meet our price, and what we feel is fair, we're a playoff team. We get to keep them, and we get to make a run. That's the way I see it.”

Either Briere is doing a great job at playing a public game of chicken or he's serious. The next week is going to be dreadful with these rumors.

I fully support this approach. Its smart negotiating.

Resigning them is the dumb move.

TK needs to be on that list too. I love what he brings but Resigning him will lead to a smaller contending window when Michkov comes over. TK will be at the end of his prime by then and be on a big ticket deal.

Thing with TK is that he can be traded on a longer timeline than Danko was discussing. He might be part of the next wave of reformative trades, between the 24-25 offseason and 25-26 deadline. Those other names are people to get out of here much sooner (though I'm willing to give this management Seeler and Hathaway off that list, we still need some people here playing hockey and don't have an infinite supply of kids ready to step up.)

That said, the sooner we turn our garbage into free roster slots, the more development time we'll have to see who we truly can rely on.
