They can certainly find a 1C in this draft. Lindstrom may be out of reach, but Catton is an offensive dynamo and is mocked from 7 to 11ish. The more I watch this kid, the more interested I am. Even Lindstrom has been mocked as low as 10...doubt he slips that far, but WAY better chance we draft our own 1C than acquire a veteran in a trade.

Thats why this trade deadline is so damn important! Secure enough draft capital and you can move up to secure your 1C. Starting to read some good stuff about the top Cs in the 5-8 range.

OK...No Benn....lol.

Legally...no. Pretty sure the wink nod goes on here.....after all, although no specific future prize has been settled on...they both know within reason...approximately what the future can be. That can be ballpark...picks, prospects, players.. cap space etc.

Make the trade future considerations, with Benn being the futures after the Cup run? Just spit balling.

That late line change came at an inopportune time, allowed the Leafs to gather momentum into the Flyers zone, leading to the winner. Yeah...3 on 3 is stupid.

I admittedly rushed to judgement. Your take sounds reasonable.

This is a HORRIBLE take!! Age matters...A LOT!! Smart teams don't pay for declining years just because the front half of the deal supplies offense. You sound like a GM that knows he won't be employed when the suffering starts!!

Not only do 3 of them converge on the 1 Flyer...they lose possession? LMAO

First I have heard of this TK and 9-10 mill a year NONSENSE!! UM...NO. Not under any circumstances. Trade him...for even less than he is worth, because if we are typing about it...other GMs are talking about it. He has reduced his value significantly by coming out with these numbers. If he's not part of the solution *(rebuild) than he's part of the problem. Ship him out quick. If the Flyers do not make at least 3 trades this deadline...I will not trust Briere and Jones. Lot of talk with no actual movement towards set goal... the Cup. I piss on this year's playoffs. Could care less. Great opportunity for the kids to get a taste of what it takes to win in the worlds best tournament....BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THIS REBUILD. STOP THE CYCLE OF MEDIOCRE HOCKEY.

After we **** up the Leafs?

Breaking news...Kerry Huffman to come out of retirement and challenge York for his spot on pp #2. Huffman has been diligently working on spacial awareness and many think Yorks spot is in jeopardy!

Anyone hear this Hanfin to the Flyers rumor? How does a 27 year old fairly expensive d man fit the rebuild narrative? Dont get me wrong, the guy is SOLID and thus sought after...but giving up picks and prospects to acquire him,?? Um...no. Stick to the plan...dont let this mirage fool ya Danny.

Wanted Caufield over York and was quite pissed when the pick was made. The pp QB who can't do what he was drafted for...brilliant.

Alexi Kosolov on his way to the USA as soon as his KHL teams season (playoff run) is over! I'm assuming he will be assigned to the Phantoms once he arrives. IF he gets a decent amount of starts in the AHL this year...he could conceivably push for Flyers back up tender next season....although the most likely outcome is 2024-25 get acquainted with North America AHL stint...BUT he could force the issue by dominating pre season!! Let's hope!!

Retiring Koivu's number = cheesy and forced.

Ahhhh deadlines past... In 2015 the Flyers acquired Andrew McDonald for 2nd rd pick (Brandon Carlo) and a 3rd rd pick (Illya Sorokin)! Steal!!

Hopefully, its 5 games. The 1st game is a huge blow out for the opposition...the Leafs panic, seeing the playoffs slipping away and give up a 1st for a dman. This would make the crosscheck the 2nd worst of the modern era for the Leafs. The 1st? Domi's cheap shot on Scott Niedermayer. Leafs never won another game in that series after Domi pulled that stunt.

What a great story about Messier!

Hall was out of control in Windsor also. I suspect it started way before the OHL. Really frustrating, because if he was a decent human being and dedicated to honing his skills, he could have been amazing...even HOF material...but alas, hes a selfish, entitled prick that wasted his God given talent.

Grand Master Flash!! He spins records, theories...himself, if getting outta bed to quick...

The Cub in the woods!!

I'm going with late bloomer combined with culture shock hurdle...there is stuff in that package.

No room as we speak, but an injury or two and he could force his way on the team. He's got nice wheels and can snipe. He would have to play a well rounded game to stick with Torts though. If he continues on this current path, cream rises to the top. He does seem suited for a top 6 role though...which would really limit his chances. If I was him, I'd be working on tenacious play away from the puck...just to please Torts.

I think there is s respectable chance that Toumaala turns out better than Zegras in the long run.
