839Flyers 2018-19 Offseason moves
Philadelphia Flyers
vis - PostedLike I said, I really have no idea what value is anymore. Myself, and I think others, figured he'd return at least one NHL roster player. I feel like there has been a good deal of chatter that the Canes didn't get a great return. Again, maybe I am wrong on that. -
1232018-19 Iowa Wild and other Wild Prospects Discussion
Minnesota Wild
IllaZilla - PostedWell, the team definitely improved under his leadership, record-wise. They went from middle of the pack under Risebrough to top ten in the league. So he was definitely doing something right there. He was not afraid to make trades to try and improve the team, or sign free agents. Some of his trades worked (Pominville trade), and some didn't (Hanzal trade). Some of the free agents signings worked (Parise) and some didn't (Vanek). I think Fletcher's downfall was the teams inability to perform in the Playoffs. Whether it was injuries or "the hot goaltender", there was always something that seemed to pop up during the Playoffs that derailed the Wild's post-season efforts. Whether these things were entirely his fault or not, hard to say. But he had already fired his hand-picked coach Mike Yeo, so the next person on the hot seat was himself, since he couldn't fire the team. And unfortunately, the team failed to show up once again in the Playoffs and it cost him his job. -

OccamsRazor - PostedSorry i didn't answer this on my original response...i say too this is a hard one to answer...i am not so high on him...and 6 mill for 3 more years is kind of steep for the 3rd line center role...i said somewhere here i wasn't thrilled to pay 7+ mill for the 3rd line RW and no happier to pay 6 mill for the 3rd line center...so i'm torn too...i know that doesn't help any...i think i would rather keep Simmer for something later if possible. However i would be ok with trading the Oilers Gudas or Mcdud if they are interested... -

839Flyers 2018-19 Offseason moves
Philadelphia Flyers
vis - PostedI'm so at a loss as to trade values, particularly in light of the Skinner trade. I thought he would have garnered a higher return. Maybe trading him during the slow summer months contributed to the seemingly underwhelming return. What do people think Simmonds or RNH would return given the Skinner deal? Apologies if this has already been discussed. I agree with the above that Sanheim is too much to give for RNH, but what else would folks be willing to part with that EDM would want? I really don't see EDM wanting MacDonald or Gudas when there are a few UFA d-men available that wouldn't require them to give up a player. Would a Simmonds/Gudas package be more valuable than RNH/UFA d-man? I know they need help on RW, but trading RNH would weaken LW/C. And they need speed to play with McDavid. Not sure Simmonds fits that bill. (By the way, I think the Flyers would need a pick/prospect back if they were to serve up Simmonds/Gudas.) As for RNH, I've run hot and cold over the years on him. I watched a fair amount of EDM games a few years ago when he was putting up 50+ points on bad teams, but haven't watched them as much. He had 48 points (24G) in 62 games last year, which is pretty decent. At one point his contract was cause for pause, but not sure that's the case anymore with only 3 years remaining. -

IllaZilla - PostedTrades are another matter. I wouldn’t include them with this discussion. If I have time this weekend I may try to pull something together looking at the Wild vs rest of the league, just to see if we’re being hypercritical of the team or if they really are poor at drafting and development.
