flyer4ever Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 My wish list before next season starts. Seth Jones, Risto Rutsalainen, Sam Bennett, Lawson Crouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD19372 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I heard Johnny G's name floated out there. If we can swing Jake the Fake for him today, I'll be ecstatic. I want a defenseman too. If the cement heads in the front office can do that, and get any kind of defensive help, I'll be thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) @CoachX If Laughton can't be resigned, definitely trade him. I would imagine Chuck has an idea if a deal can be made by now. I think he's a nice player and I wouldn't mind having him around. I do think his future in Philly is known, so if he's dealt today it's because there was too large a gap to negotiate to a middle. @flyer4ever Risto Rutsalainen, is this the kid in the Oilers system, not the mildly brain damaged guy from Buffalo, is that right? Also with Foligno gone from CBJ I cannot imagine Seth Jones wanting to stick around Columbus...he could be had for money...I would back the Brinks truck up for that guy. I would think moves would need to be made to have reshaped the roster in a way that would be appealing to Jones. I can't fathom he'd want to uproot his life for a lateral move even if there was a lot of $ involved. I'm not expecting a whole lot to happen today in Flyers land... I think Raffl moves for a draft pick or something. Maybe Elliott, but seeing that Riitch has been traded to Toronto makes that "less" of a possibility. My hope is to cycle come guys from LHV thought the taxi squad to the big club and see what's shaking. I think Lacszynski has looked alright in his call ups. Seeing that Hall was acquired for not much, makes me wonder if Eichel can be had for not much also...is Buffalo cratering ? and can a shrewd operator can take advantage? Also, does the Hall move mean that Boston is now going to miss the playoffs? Edited April 12, 2021 by mojo1917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you believe rumors Goligoski or Demers maybe to Philly. Makes about sense two has been defensemen. Sad that is all I see reported. My how they have fallen. Sure please throw them old the old useless defenseman pile please thanks and come again. SMH if this happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Take if FWIW ..... https://www.broadstreethockey.com/2021/4/12/22380027/nhl-trade-rumors-philadelphia-flyers-deadline-laughton-patrick Scott Laughton, re-sign or trade? The major pending free agent the Flyers have on their roster and a dude that contending teams would certainly want, Scott Laughton has been getting some interest around the league. The major question is whether or not he is willing to sign a nice bow-wrapped extension for Philadelphia, or, if he doesn’t re-sign, GM Chuck Fletcher to take advantage of his playoff-ready play style and sell high for future assets. Oh, the battles of being a team that wants to stay in the competitive picture. Flyers and Scott Laughton's camp still engaged in contract talks. Flyers also taking calls from teams on him. Could go to the wire. — Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) April 12, 2021 The latest we are hearing, is that the Flyers would need to be “knocked over” by the trade offer and that they love the player; obviously preferring an extension. AND ... Nolan Patrick and Vegas After returning to the roster at the beginning of the season and not truly living up to the predicted hype, we might be seeing the end of Nolan Patrick in Philadelphia. Still just 22 years of age, teams can certainly buy into the potential of the former second overall pick and want to buy-low. One of those teams, is one manned by his former GM back in his Brandon Wheat Kings days, the Vegas Golden Knights. 3. This is by no means a done deal, but I was told VGK wants a forward and one that is really affordable. 4. VGK GM Kelly McCrimmon was with Nolan in Brandon. Knows him well. — Anthony SanFilippo (@AntSanPhilly) April 12, 2021 It’s uncertain what the return would be, but Vegas has some extra draft picks and has the desire to bolster their forward lines even further in two-way depth. Again just info on what I could find which is basically nothing ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xganarchy Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'd like to lose some dead weight (JVR, Gustafsson, Ghost) but that seems unlikely. Call me crazy but I'd like to see Ristolainen from Buffalo. I've only seen him against the Flyers but I think he'd do better here once we get our act together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesesteak Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Why the push to sign Laughton NOW? Doesn't that take away one spot they'd have to protect in the expansion draft? Smarter to sign him after? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip a coin? At least the Flyers internet will have good memes. A thing I'm wondering is this, should there be the everything must go sale and/or massive change we all think is needed. Wouldn't it make sense to have a young-ish veteran who plays an honest game in all situations ? Having some stability and some veteran leadership around would be helpful. Laughton was a captain in junior and is a high character guy. There are worse guys to have on the roster. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that take away one spot they'd have to protect in the expansion draft? Smarter to sign him after? Maybe, but maybe not, if Fletcher made a deal with Seattle for them to take a certain player, they want off the books, similar to what some teams made with Vegas. As for Seth Jones, to get him next season, it would have to be a trade with Columbus, and I doubt that Kekalainen moves him. With Foligno moved, he now becomes the face of the franchise, and probably their new captain. Anything is possible, but if you are to trade for him in the offseason, you need to resign him before the season ends as he will be a UFA. Makes no sense in trading for him for only one season. Other than that, my take is not much gets done today, but I suspect that the offseason will be busier (Well I hope). There will be a bunch of bad trades that will set the team back even further, similar to what happened in Minnesota, when Flether was there.
