The guy I'd love to see them move the most at the deadline is MacDonald. Although a late first for Streit would be nice, I could live with him for another year or so.

Good luck moving that contract

They can sign a UFA for a couple years if Streit is traded. Nobody on this D is irreplaceable. I'm not saying trade everyone, I'm saying that I would trade any of them, if I got value.

I really don't see Streit getting traded. His term pretty much kills that option IMO.

I'm going in March. I plan on watching a bunch of no names play spring training games for the Phillies. By no names I mean the actual starting lineup

I can live with keeping any of them, as well... I'm not saying trade them all, I'm saying if you get good value for one of them, jump at it.
- Jsaquella


No. Trade them all.

That's a possibility. He's got two years left and is still productive. I could see a team being willing, especially if they have an injury at the TDL

MacDonald is going to have to have a couple of good years to get people to bite. After one good season, it is going to be tough to sell this guy and this season is not helping his cause.

Also the fact that we really don't have anyone all that experienced to step in and QB the top PP unit.

I'd hold onto Streit. If I'm looking to cut cash on D I'm looking at Coburn and AMac first and foremost.

If they can get a first for any of their dmen, Hextall deserves a raise

his next deal may be different, but i dont think coburn should be moved simply to cut cash. if youre moving him for assets right now, before you want to have to deal with trying to resign him, if you get a good enough deal then why not.

but for right now, i think youd find a hard time finding many defensemen of similar worth playing for similar pay.

Yeah, I know. I can't believe they couldn't get a deal done with less term.

Oh right it's only 2 years left. I thought it was still 3. Even still it would probably only be a couple of teams where the stars align that would make sense.

That's why he wears number 8. That's how old he was when he excelled.

It will probably take a little doing, but I'd do it for a big enough return.

i think coburn could snag a first. it wouldnt be from one of the bottom feeders, but maybe a team like SJ or anaheim.

I could see possibly 2 of Morin, Gost and Sanhiem playing for the majority of the year next season with the Flyers.

We were actually talking about Amac. Your confusion is understandable though
