Might as well discuss this as there's absolutely zero chance OEL waives for Philly. He had like a 2 team list when he was in 'zona.Remove Hayes and OEL. Provy for Boeser
It's not that simple. American players generally don't desire playing in Vancouver.I’m from the East coast and Vancouver is by far the most beautiful city in North America. I highly doubt that.
Provorov been playing as a 1D since his rookie year, he's underpaid, great contract. The dude has been surrounded by dogshit. OEL is nowhere near him.Wow, don't like either Hayes or Povorov's contracts. Also hate the OEL contract.
OEL outplayed Povorov last year (and gets paid only $500k more) and Hayes deal is just horrible. Boeser is the only guy not on a terrible deal.
I'd probably do OEL for Povorov (due to shorter contract) but OEL wouldn't waive.
OEL + Miller (@50%) for Povorov + 2022 1st and 2023 1st?
Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in NA, no doubt. But imo def not the most. I would put San Diego and Seattle above it. Then it's BC and Boston battling for 3rd (out of the list of cities I've been to). All subjective though.I’m from the East coast and Vancouver is by far the most beautiful city in North America. I highly doubt that.
We can't trade Hayes until we sign JGIf love to trade Hayes, but not sure the flyers even can right now. They were trying Farabee at center this year…and it was terrible. Probably looking to trade Provy for a 2C and a 2023 1st but I don’t see how that’s a fit for most teams.
In 2019 center line of Giroux, Couturier, Hayes and Laughton was basically saying they wanted to compete.

You think you can get Provorov and TWO 1sts for that?
One being a top 5 …You think you can get Provorov and TWO 1sts for that?
Are you kidding, The Metro is the most easy travel schedule in the NHL. And the Pacific is the most brutal. Due to that fact he wouldn't waive for Vancouver. Just because a city is beautiful doesn't mean a player will waive for that team.I’m from the East coast and Vancouver is by far the most beautiful city in North America. I highly doubt that.
I definitely wouldn’t say Vancouver has bad weather in fact I’d say it has the best weather aside from the rain. It’s not to hot nor to cold.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in NA, no doubt. But imo def not the most. I would put San Diego and Seattle above it. Then it's BC and Boston battling for 3rd (out of the list of cities I've been to). All subjective though.
Players aren't worried about how beautiful a City is. The shit weather and high taxes are the problem

He's been given every chance to succeed and he's mostly been a below average 1D.Provorov been playing as a 1D since his rookie year, he's underpaid, great contract. The dude has been surrounded by dogshit. OEL is nowhere near him.
And OEL wouldn't waive VAN to go to PHI?
Philly is the better team next year when they're not missing a top pair D, 1C and 2C all year and have JG.
Flyers say no pretty quickly, Povorov is the best player in the deal by a mile
This is not good for Philly at all. Hayes prob has negative value but not that much.Van Out............OEL and Boeser
Phil Out............Prov and Hayes
Bos Out.............Debrusk, Haula, 2022-2nd
Van IN .............Provorov, Debrusk, and Bos 2022-2nd
Phil IN..............OEL and Haula
Bos IN..............Hayes and Boeser
Shit weather is also subjective. For those that hate snow, Vancouver is great. My only problem with the weather is that in winter it's so humid that 0° feels like -10°. Dry cold is much better.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in NA, no doubt. But imo def not the most. I would put San Diego and Seattle above it.

Not sure why Philly would take on many more years of an aging OEL
That wasn't the question. The answer is: hell no.Rumor is that we turned down two 1sts+ prospect for Miller at the deadline.
Do I think it makes sense....not so sure.
If I was the Canucks, I'd package up Miller @ 50% and Myers @ 50% (a 1C and 2nd pair RD for a total of about $5.5M of cap combined) and see what the highest bidder would be.
Boston, really?Shit weather is also subjective. For those that hate snow, Vancouver is great. My only problem with the weather is that in winter it's so humid that 0° feels like -10°. Dry cold is much better.
What? I was talking about Vancouver. I've never been to Boston, but that's probably the city I'd like to visit most in the USA.That wasn't the question. The answer is: hell no.
Boston, really?
Then we need to move OEL first. Provorov isn't going to want to play under 15 minutes a night behind OEL and Hughes.Remove Hayes and OEL. Provy for Boeser
As a neutral fan Id say 40% retention on Hayes contract would make this more balanced
I'm thinking Philly says no. Maybe I'm higher in Provorov than most though.
I think it was in the post to which you were responding. In terms of "beautiful cities," it is OK, but no natural beauty and its non-grid layout is infuriating. It's nice, but it's cold and small, and there are bigger East Coast cities with much more to do in them.What? I was talking about Vancouver.
