End of the 2nd period- Brandt Clarke for LA is playing as the 7th Dman- 6 shifts-4:35 ice time. Next lowest Kings Dman- 11 shfits. Not sure what is going on, but he just turned 22 and has 2 less points then Sanheim. Briere is going to have to do these type of deals to get better talent in the organization. Going to have to give up something of value to acquire and hopefully that player grows and gets better.

Problem is Flyers need to give up something that helps LA now. TK is the only one that comes to mind, maybe Tippett. Laughton and Risto are not enough. Sanheim needs to waive his NTC, Seeler isnt enough plus has NTC for 2 seasons. LA wouldnt be interested in anything else. Perhaps LA would move him if theres cap issues on a RFA deal. Dunno when hes an RFA.

Kings have scored less goals then the Flyers. Kopitar is 37 and Doughty is 35- time to win is now. They'll be looking for scoring punch, Bobby Brink not close to enough. Going to cost Tippett at least to get Clarke and probably LA would have to include a salary dump like Jeannot. Clarke is very much still considered #1 Dman potential.

Id do Tippett for Clarke in a heartbeat. A deal like that would either be bigger or involve a future move as the Flyers would need to make room on D.

Sanheim
York
Drysdale
Seeler
Risto
Zamula
Andrae
Clarke

Luchenko doing very well in the OHL 57th in the league despite playing just 34 games.

If he played 60 games at the same scoring pace he'd be at 84 points. That would be approx 9th in the OHL. Some variables to consider as not all players are at exactly 60 games but many around 50-60

I go back to what Jones and Shaw said recently about want to have more size on the blueline. I do not believe York, Andrae, and Drysdale will be long-term fits in the top 6. When Doughty came back from injury, Kevin Weekes speculated Clarke could be on his way out. Supposedly Briere spent a lot of time in Barrie when the Flyers were scouting prospects that year. Fletcher chose Tyson Foerster. I would also trade Tippett for Clarke.

Me too! I'd do anything to get rid of Tippett. I'd dump any of our D-men at any time to make room. We have a bunch of 2nd-3rd pair guys. I like them but all would be expendable if I were in charge.
