Let's just say I hope that.particular player finds employment elsewhere
- AllInForFlyers

I think Dominic Moore is a better player and would likely sign for less.

Deterioration is inevitable. Goodbye Wayne, we only pretended to like you. It was the laundry all along.
- mayorofangrytown

I was kidding!!!
Although teams seem to really want him - so he might be a key piece to push someone into taking Vinny.

I just don't think he's a very good player anymore.
- PhillySportsGuy

He was always just one of those elevated role players.

If we waive Rosehill, and Ott plays on the 4th line with Laughton that might not be a bad thing. He'd ground the kid and protect him.
I agree it's all about the price though.

EDIT: I'd probably rather see Ott than Rinaldo/Rosehill.
- FlyersGrace

i wish we could find a way to dump rinaldo and rosemont. if we could do that and land ott, great.

Col Plays ROR and Mac on the wing though. Last season Duch and Stastny where top 2 Cs
- xShoot4WarAmpsx

ROR and Mac can both still play center though. With Statsny gone, Mackinnon and Briere are likely in top 9 with Duchene. ROR will probably stay on the wing and play C on the PK.

I'd be suprised if Ott would sign somewhere for a 4th line role.

And that's the issue.

Luckily, we still don't have Buff, a deal wasn't in place at the draft, and we still don't have Phaneuf. So, I am feeling at least decently good about us not signing Ott.

Are you suggesting using Simmonds as a throw-in? If so, I'd rather not ever move Vinny.

- MJL

Yeah. I loved him a few years ago. He just hasn't been very good since his Stars days. I feel like his poor play is the result of aging more than being on a bad team (Sabres)

I'm suggesting it the other way. The only way you get Simmonds is if you take Vinny too.

Step 1: Trade Vinny and valuable asset for less valuable asset
Step 2: Sign over-hyped grinder
Step 3: Trade promising young player(s) for overvalued "premier" defenseman
Step 4: Lament

Can just waive them. They can go to minors and they won't count against the cap

Oh. I see.

Still, if that's the case, I don't want Vinny going anywhere because I don't see a realistic deal where I'd trade Simmonds, especially after we just threw Hartnell away.

I know. Ott will sign with somewhere else and Ek will be like "Flyers were definitely ALL OVER Ott, but were outbid"

Now I'm depressed because I could see names go into each of those slots without breaking a sweat.

And someone might claim them off waivers! Win/Win.

Not at all. Danny Briere could carry them as he flies around the NHL.

It's just a case of whether you want Buff or Phaneuf.

he could grip them by the husk!
