Need to start first with sorting out the status of our core.
I don't know what can be gained by trading Giroux. You would have to get creative to trade him in such a way that you gain much, let alone not lose. He is a fan favorite and still a good damned player. So if you trade him for a bunch of bodies, you better make sure those are good prospects and high draft picks. So if the Flyers decide to move away from him at this point, at the very least they need to make sure they are getting quality, not quantity back. And I won't mind if that quality is a project and doesn't materialize in the next 2 years. Unfortunately, taking into consideration Flyers' history and mindset, I have no confidence that that's what they will do.
Secondly, they need to really dive into what's been plaguing Couturier. I think we will all agree that what we are seeing this season is a completely transformed player, in the worst possible way. It was suggested by some here that it's a product of him getting that nice contract. I sure hope that's not it, because if that's what it was, then "Houston, we have a problem". He's been put on the IR recently with a mysterious upper body injury. While it's bad, that would actually explain his beyond abhorrent play this season. But then the question is why the hell they have been waiting so long? You have your MVP playing injured for most of the season, risking a long-term injury... Why?
The rest to me are just moving parts. Atkinson knows how to score. Only 2 years ago, the guy scored 69 points in a full season. Konecny and JVR are OK players. Not horrible, but not particularly valuable, either. You can move them, but realistically speaking, they won't fetch you much of a return. On the teams like St. Louis, Carolina, Dallas, or Florida, they would be playing on the 3rd line, and frankly, that's where they both belong. But again, the question is what are the Flyers trying to accomplish? What is their near-term goal?
My biggest concern is I have no faith in the team's management. Even if they map out a plan of attack, I don't know if they can actually carry it out.
