With TK making 8-9, Tippet 6+, Couturier <8, Sanhiem 6+ how are they going to fit 2-4 elite talents under the cap

That's kind of the point, really.

Until Michkov touches NA soil, I'm not counting on him. We need at least 2 more elite players. Top center and top wing/sniper. I'd love a firm #1 dman. Unless TK can get us an elite guy, we resign him.

#1 defenseman should be at the top of the list.

Need to trade konecny I think. Time is now. Get a young center that projects well

Who would you target? In the past, I felt we needed a Parayko type guy. I would've taken Trouba too.

I wouldn't target anybody. I would use the draft.

Neither of those two players are at the level of player we need.

You have to draft the guy. This year would be a great year to have a top pick because there’s a few top defenseman.

Nikishin would be a risky play. But konecny might be the key to get him. Nikishin and drysdale on your back end going forward has the makings of a solid blue line for years.
Problem is they have Jarvis and necas at RW. F it

9ers and KC make for a better Super Bowl. Mahomes would obliterate that Lion secondary.

Lions would lose to KC or the Ravens. As a Lions fan and Flyers fan, I’m over losing over basic mistakes. Any moron coach can go for it on every opportunity, it’s not a genius decisions. Dan Campbell has left points on the table all season.

Konecny can play either side.

Konency
Tippett
Foerster
Atkinson
Hathaway
Michkov
Allison

I’m probably missing someone but the point is, we’re set at right wing. Even if we dropped Atkinson, Hathaway and Allison tomorrow, we’re still pretty thin in other areas at forward. I would trade Konency if it made up stronger in other areas, especially center.

That was disturbing how they lost. Ya some questionable 4th down calls but a couple of bad drops…and that ball off the guys head that goes from interception to TD was the game. I’m disappointed far ya.

That’s football but to not take the points not just one game but all season long is unacceptable. Fans in Detroit think Dan Campbell is a genius. I think he’s a drunk who was able to take the stealing wheel because the last wasn’t sober enough. Campbell just had an easier ride (schedule) home.

It’s Dan Gamble not Don Campbell. Lol. How successful was he with that strategy all year? It used to be if you can’t get a yard you deserve to lose. Dan says if you can’t get 2.3 or 4 you deserve to lose. I like the guy.

Agreed. It’s the championship game, not October. Can’t coach on emotion and testosterone. He definitely cost them that game. Not sure I’m letting him on the plane back.

I come in peace ✌️

What are the flyers looking for in a potential trade for Laughton? Just skimming through some of the teams he’s kind of perfect for the rangers. Is he even available? I thought I saw where he could be

I’m asking because I don’t like these rental prices, and we could really use a guy with term since Chytil could be done with hockey unfortunately

Hey that’s sounds good lol

Berard
Sykora (he’d be tough to give up)
Edstrom (huuuuuge center)

That’s probably our best B guys. I could be wrong tho and there is more

We don’t have any twos available imo. But 3rds we do. I don’t think 1sts wouldnt be involved. I think he’ll use the second we have as a conditional to get Tarasenko again

Some are going to overcharge and others will greatly undercharge just because...change, but it's also Flyers/Rangers and they can not trade with each other if the deal is even. Cost is ALWAYS higher with interdivision teams, but greater if a rival.

Honestly even if the Rags gave a good deal, not great, Flyers would have to pass.

Well, it's not like they haven't traded in the past.

Braun? Then Lindros, but that was trading damaged goods and even though they didn't get some superstar they got a pretty good haul for him. They did get Johnsson out of that trade which was huge and even though Brendl flopped he had a lot of talent.

There is no way I want the Flyers sending anyone to the Rags if that player can help them win a cup and still have to see that player the following year. Value of a player has to be made on his abilities, not his stats. I'd rather them keep Laughton than trade him for AHL scrap AND to a rival.

Update:

Braun 2 years ago then 18 years prior

And Laughton would be a perfect addition to the Rags. They have their superstars and major point producers, defense and goaltenders...that extra leadership and versatility could help put them over the edge. I want no part helping the Rags get another cup before the Flyers.
