I prefaced my trade offer BY SAYING I don't know if the Flames would do this. Work on your reading comprehension. Juvenile ja*$%sses.

Wait, you were being serious with that offer? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, I wonder if Calgary would take the single worst contract in the league and a terrible, overpaid dman for their two best players?

I mean, can’t hurt to ask, right?

Since we’re spitballing here, how about Dermott and Kerfoot for Couturier and Sanheim? I’m just asking

What a joke. The Jets won't be doing any deal with the Flyers that involve Laine.

I said it didn't make sense for the Jets to do this trade.

I don't know if Calgary would do this, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. I think the Flames would really benefit from Ghost's offensive upside, and puck moving ability.

Flyers get Tkachuk, Gaudreau, and a 3rd.

Flames get Ghost, JVR and a 2nd.

Even as a Flyers fan ....even I ask ...are you (frank)ing serious ?

To EDM: Roman Josi, Viktor Arvidsson and Calle Jarnkrok
To NSH: Darnell Nurse, Jesse Puljujarvi, Rafael Lavoie, choice of Caleb Jones or Dmitri Samorukov, 1st rounder 2021, 2nd rounder 2022

This wouldn't be accepted at the moment, but if the Preds were to have a bad year and decide to rebuild and save some money due to economic reasons next year, when Oilers open up a bit of cap space, this would have to be considered. Josi would have to waive NMC but maybe if Preds are committing to rebuild he'd rather go play with 2 best players in the league.

Nurse is younger and cheaper than Josi to replace him on left side, also get a choice of young developing LD. This is also reliant on Puljujarvi putting up decent numbers and showing growth this year. He is Nashville's replacement for Arvidsson, and they get Lavoie who is a high end forward prospect.

Basically the Oilers upgrade on LD and RW while Nashville gets 5 years younger and add really good prospects in those positions, while also getting 2 good picks. Jarnkrok is thrown in as depth forward to even out value for adding both high value picks and prospects. He was drafted by Ken Holland.

To create cap space the Oilers would let Chiasson, Larsson and Barrie walk as free agents and buy out James Neal, while resigning Ennis and Haas on cheap deals and Nuge on fair $7 mill per deal, and bring up Bouchard, Broberg and Benson on their ELC's.

Would allow Oilers to roll.....
Nuge-McDavid-Arviddson
Jarnkrok-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Ennis-Turris-Kassian
Benson-Haas-Archibald

Josi-Bear
Klefbom-Bouchard
Broberg-FA signing

Koskinen
Goalie brought in through trade or FA

Still have to upgrade 1B goalie and sign a 3rd pairing RD but that looks like a roster that can win a Cup without a top 5 goalie in the league since they'd have the puck most of the time.

Do I detect buyer's remorse in thee?
- General Mokus


Is it buyer’s remorse if you never wanted to the deal to begin with?

God thats awful for the Preds.. in what world does a Norris Trophy dman and a cheap top winger worth that heap of garb? Nurse doesnt even shine Josi’s shoes at this stage and Arvidsson is paid 4.2m..

Eveything else is a huge question mark no matter how nice Puls stats were in Finland..

ghost jvr and 2nd is arguably not enough for goudreau let alone tkachuk. You win homer award.

I agree, and I'm a Flyers Fan. This made-up trade is ridiculous.

Stop talking crap, and work on your reading comprehension. I said I didn't know if Calgary would do this. Your third from last place in the NHL team ...the DeadWings...needs a TON of help, probably before they're better than the Kraken, Caitlyn.

Take responsibility for your ridiculous trade proposal. Smarten up and quit whining. If you're going to come on here and post something as stupid as that then you deserve the responses you've received. Even Flyers fans think it's asinine.

Leafs trade with Columbus

Columbus receives:
Auston Matthews (11.6mill)
Travis Dermott (875K)

Leafs receive:
Pierre Luc-Dubois (RFA)
Seth Jones (5.4mill)

Of all the stupidity on this thread, this one may actually make sense (but more for the Leafs than the Jackets).

The best you've come up with is Ryder, Halak and a 2nd for Engvall, Holl and a 4th...lol PLEASE. All you do is rip other people's suggestions. Flyers fans tend to be misguided about the values of the players they have, so I'm not really worried about some of them, or even all of them on here, thinking my trade offer sucks. I said Calgary wouldn't do it anyway.

Just curious. What was your thought process when you made this stupid trade proposal? Tkachuk, Gaudreau and a 3rd for JVR, Ghost and a 2nd?
