Ah... No.

- FrmRusiaWifGlov

Hell yes.

I would think a deal that would land 2 speedy scoring wingers... and Sven B is developing into a 2 way forward as well, plus a lottery pick... Possible 1 or 2 in which you can get that future number 1 d-man... It would be worth the deal.

no no no no no. Again, Baertschi had played 51 games and has, what, 8 goals? Gaudreau is a prospect, no more no less (and he may sign with us anyway). There is 100% no way I give up a guy who could a future Selke winner for essentially 2 ?? prospects.

awesome i can't believe they showed up for this road trip ready to play
i wonder what berube said to them
- 2Real

The same thing he said for the post-Christmas trip. that's 8-2 between those two road trips. Not bad against the wild west.

- Crimsoninja

We clearly don't need Timonen.

- jmatchett383

Im pretty sure I would too. It would be hard but Josi is a perfect fit for this team.

Nobody likes a gloater.
Seeeeeeee?

The San Jose announcers kept making a great point about speed. They kept saying that knowing where the puck will be increases your team speed and the speed at which you play the game. It allows you to skate where you need to go without worrying about whether you have to hold up or change direction, you trust your system and team mates to put the pucks where you expect them to be quickly.

Yeah, describes the way they played last night to a T.

Really?

I actually didnt read it. I didnt look through those endless pages of Grossmann debate.

I was just thinking about defensemen I want.

Yeah, it's that his defensive shortcomings will not be offset by his offensive production at the AHL level (at least speculatively). Which is why I'm kinda surprised we haven't been shopping him to a team like Nashville/Buffalo/Florida/etc.
- jmatchett383

They kind of said the same thing about PA Parenteau... small, slow, one-way player. It might take Akeson some time to shake the stereotype, but it's hard to ignore that he's done nothing but score score score at every level.

sure if it's cooter alone but that's not happening

well i thought the team was about to peak again and get smashed down by the powerful west

Our daily Pens fan came in and we talked about potential young defenseman the Flyers could target. We thought offers like

B. Schenn for Josi
Coburn + 1st for Dougie Hamilton
Simmonds + Read for Maata

no no no no no. Again, Baertschi had played 51 games and has, what, 8 goals? Gaudreau is a prospect, no more no less (and he may sign with us anyway). There is 100% no way I give up a guy who could a future Selke winner for essentially 2 ?? prospects.
- jmatchett383

And the 1st-4th overall pick.... Right in the wheelhouse for Ekblad.

- Tomahawk

Which is totally fine. Granted, Parenteau is the exception rather than the norm, but I don't think Akeson has a fit on here when we have Hartnell/Simmonds/Voracek/Read who are all established NHL scorers ahead of him. Which is why I'd like to see if we can swap him for a young AHL defenseman on a team that needs scoring. But if a guy leads the OHL in scoring and then goes undrafted by all 30 teams, there's clearly a reason.

Reasoning? curiosity...

I think if you backage Bir Brother with Baby Brother you can get more.

Do you do it?
- FrmRusiaWifGlov

If Josi were a righty, I'd do it. Sadly, he is not.

I'd definitely trade Read+ for him, or 1st++, maybe Laughton.

Not B Schenn, though.

And the 1st-4th overall pick.... Right in the wheelhouse for Ekblad.
- youarewrong

Still no. Not a chance.
Also, Ekblad's probably top-2, likely top overall.

Do you really just think Couturier has so little value? Because you're really underestimating his value and overestimating these young unproven players.

And the 1st-4th overall pick.... Right in the wheelhouse for Ekblad.
- youarewrong

If a trade like that were going to happen, I'd have to wait until I see where the pick is. I would also want someone else besides Gudreau. He has the choice to go anywhere. If he wants to go to the Flyers he will go to the Flyers on his own.

It would have to be B Schenn. They need young, inexpensive offense.
