Pre-Game Talk: Trade Deadline 2025: Will They Or Won't They?

[Fight4yourRight]

Dreger on TradeCentre says flyers are licking there lips after the nelson trade. flyers are supposed to be on ice at noon. Says a 1st plus or equivalent of would be return. Says Risto hang up is how they replace him. 1st, prospect and a player is what flyers want for Risto.

Who cares how they replace him? They aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. I’m saying this not to you, but I actually believe Dreger that this is their mindset. “6’4 RHD don’t grow on trees!”

 

[FLYguy3911]

I know it's Duh Marco but they should trade anyone and everyone they get a call on

Isn’t he supposed to know how likely now?

 

[Danko]

So far from what I recall names that have been mentioned:

Laughton
Risto
Zamula
York
Kuzmenko
Poehling

Anyone i'm missing?

If we trade AMac, how will we replace those minutes? If we trade Risto, we will be looking for a big, physical, RHD the next day ....

Only if you live in his make believe land where he considers himself an "insider"

 

[JojoTheWhale]

They've done a good job of rehabbing Risto and Poehling. I wish I had any faith in them making the decision to cash in on that.

This would actually be one to keep an eye on. I am 85 percent sure the team has completely soured on him and they’ll take a massive hit to get rid of him IMO.

 

[LegionOfGloom]

And then these same people will tell us at the draft that it’s better to wait until the trade deadline.

And then when we get to the next trade deadline, they will say we should be signing Laughton to an extension.

Imagine trading all of those replacement level players + Laughton and Risto. It would be such a good change of pace. You could get a ton of picks for that group. Likely 2 1sts IMO

Dime a dozen depth player who can be replaced this summer. Ship him out

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Briere want 1st , prospect , plus for Fisto.

FIRE EVERYONE

In fairness I think we all want that!

 

[Deadpool8812]

Didn't the Habs get a 1st for Monahan after getting him plus a 1st as a cap dump?

Wish our GM was that savy

 

[ponder719]

Says Risto hang up is how they replace him.

I don't really have the time today, but if they're that confused I can drive over to the WFC and give them a suitable traffic cone.

 

[Curufinwe]

Nelson is twice as good as Laughton.

 

[Tripod]

Eh. Not sure on that. There are only 7 2025 1sts currently in a playoff spot not traded yet. The first two teams out have already moved theirs.

You might as well knock that down to 6 because Carolina is not doing that. CBJ, VAN, and OTT don't feel like they're looking to make that kind of move either. That leaves you win LAK and the 2 conference leaders. So maybe. But I'd guess it's more likely to be a future pick. Especially given that the Flyers apparently don't give less value for those.

Just to add, TSN mentioned that Ottawa has to forfeit a 1st either in 2025 or 26 so likely won't look to make a move where it costs them a 1sts.

Exactly, Poehling is a good, big, fast checking 4C, who scores 3 amazing goals a year. We have Cates for that already. Trade him, right f*cking NOW!

In fairness, he sort of did that with Walker but that was during the two month window when we were rebuilding.

Then do it again

Ship you say? I heard Poehling has a yacht.

 

[Larry44]

Good return for Nelson...

Calum Ritchie is really good, one of the guys we shouldda/couldaa/wouldaa taken instead of Bonk.

 

[mr figgles]

The Flyers have traded
Bernie Parent
Dave Schultz
Darryl Sittler
Brad McCrimmon
Rick Tocchet
Mark Recchi
Simon Gagne
Rod Brindamour
Peter Forsberg (twice)
JVR
Wayne Simmonds
Jake Voracek
Ghost
Claude Giroux

But Scott f***ing Laughton is where they draw the line.

Idiots

He'll be traded when he's a pending UFA... at the end of his next contract, after he has completely fallen off

 

[iceman42]

Holding out for 3 1st and a young top 2 defenseman

Logical, but they should hear me out (nobody does this, obvs, but fun): Travis Sanheim, Travis Konecny, Scott Laughton, and Rasmus Ristolainen for Brady Tkachuk, Josh Norris, their choice of Perron, Jensen, or Zub, and their first this year. All those guys are under contract for next year, so that gives them a deeper bench to make the postseason this year and next, and they get out from under the Norris deal.

OK, that was fun, now back to reality.

 

[Danko]

Im assuming Laughton is gonna be one of the last things done late in the day.

You think the extension's going to take that long?
