They need a scoring winger that will hit people and put some pucks in the net, and a top pair defensemen. They've taken more than a few steps back in the last 5 years or so, so that's a "no" from me, for yet another step back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestions: Kyle Palmieri Brandon Saad Matt Calvert I threw Calvert in there as @mojo1917 mentioned. Kick the tires on these guys if available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget Jimmy Howard either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkscrewy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Fletcher sees Suter and Parise about to be bought out and can't wait to sign them so he can go back to sleeping until 1pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off a serious knee injury will affect his wheels and confidence, but maybe he's available at a bit of a discount because of that. His game (Calvert) was missing from our squad last year. Hitting, fore and back checking, d-ing up in guys triangles...Like I said I liked his game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I always hated him and Atkinson when the Flyers played the Blue Jackets, he if healthy could help out the bottom 6 for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Elliotte’s 31 thoughts podcast, he said he has heard Dvorak’s name out there I would totally kick the tires on this Arizona needs young bodies. Offer Patrick and Hagg and a prospect maybe. Dvorak could take Patrick spot in the protection order. This would be a good option if you can't work out something for a trade for Ellis. Coots Dvorak Frost Laughton center depth??? Dvorak can play LW too. Any ways throwing around ideas. 23 Oskar Lindblom - 18 Christian Dvorak - 17 Wade Allison86 Joel Farabee - 24 Morgan Frost- 11 Travis Konecny22 Tyson Foerster - 12 Tanner Laczynski- 13 Bobby Brink14 Elliott Desnoyers - 21 Scott Laughton - 19 Zayde Wisdom Not a bad bright future i say....remember none of this lineup is set in stone before anyone freaks out. Thoughts?? And yes i am sober... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts?? And yes i am sober... Yeah I'd be down with Dvorak. Another former London Knight as well. I remember when he blew out his knee his first year and then his second year, he tore up the league. I think he'd be a legit fit in Philadelphia. I'm not sure what Arizona is Doug though. Maybe see if we pay 30%, they take Voracek, who could easily be flipped for picks and the likes for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Here we go with Eklund going after the lower hanging fruit... On Ryan Suter... There are plenty of teams with interest and Suter will have no issue finding a new home after being bought out, and it is expected that Suter will want a chance to win. The Flyers are very interested. Suter is pretty much the perfect replacement for Niskanen....but they won't be alone...as one source put it, "Pretty mich everybody is in on Suter..." I would look to the Penguins, Carolina, Toronto, Florida..and even NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Bruins ink Brandon Carlo to a 6 year deal with a 4.1 AAV. So this is a great starting spot for Sanheim. So i would be good with a 5 or 6 year deal with a 4.5 AAV. If not he might be trade bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'm wondering if they look at Patrick Maroon for the bottom six. I could get behind that. He could also show NAK how to play a pest/agitator role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise yeah why not he seems to have some good luck following him so for the right price i would say yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 As far as the backup spot behind Hart maybe the Flyers could sign a lucky Finn... ...Antti Raanta would be a good fit i say. Thoughts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raanta wasn't the starter in Arizona and got hurt every time he crossed the street. I actually like the guy, too, but I don't trust it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, I'd stay far away from Landeskog. Don't get me wrong, great player, but we all saw how quickly Wayne Simmonds broke down from playing a power forward game. That's Landeskog. The contact he's going to get won't age well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
