Thoughts on Owen Tippet rumors


RonJeremy

Recommended Posts

The Flyers are supposedly interested in Tippett from Fla as part of a Giroux deal. To me he is exactly like alot of guys we already have. Lots of potential but so far has not shown much. He was supposed to be a big scorer out of juniors.  He's 23 and scored about  8 or 9 goals in 80 plus games over two seasons combined. I surely hope we can do better than that. We also are deepest at right wing already, Atkinson, Konecny, Allison and our top offensive prospects,  Foerester and Brink are also right wings. We actually need a defenseman and either a center or LW.

Well he is a Ginger so he has that going for him.

 

Put him on a line with Wade Allison and they could be brothers.

 

I think he is a good 3rd line certainly tops out as a 2nd at best.

 

Yeah I would hope for a better return and whatelse comes with him would need to be discussed...maybe Emil Heineman maybe?

For that rumour put the focus on "part of" the deal. There could be multiple bodies involved and salary issues etc. so I don't think it's a simple swap.  They might also be looking to move a right wing like Konecny maybe somewhere else and want a body to take his spot. 

 

I'm just hoping for a huge shake up and many moves but I fear status quo and a narrative of just wait until we have the injured players healthy next year.............

Yeah, the point was made that he hasn't ever gotten a ton of minutes, I think I read he averaged out around 11 and change for ice time. (He also has 13 goals in 89 games)

 

Florida makes some sense. They have about $3.6M in deadline cap space according to cap friendly, meaning they don't need to lose much if the Flyers retain half. He plugs into the top 6 and gives them some deeper scoring depth on the third line.

 

Florida also has no 1/2 this season, but could be a good choice for a performance (team or player) based pick upgrade for 2023. They also don't really have the space on next year's cap to keep him (which could be an attractive point for the organization*).

I say we make a valid offer for Huberdeau, and then wait 3-4 weeks to hear absolutely nothing back.   Because that's a thing.

Sounds like a certain FHL GM I know…..  ( too soon)

As far as their young players, Denisenko and Lundell are the ones I would rather have over Tippett.

 

I don't think you are going to get the possible rookie of the year that is why I didn't even mention his name.

 

Although I would certainly perk up and listen if he is on the block...

Completely agree.  I really like both, but I think I'd be giddy with Lundell.

They ain't sending Lundell on a couple month rental any more than Minny is sending Rossi.

I would be willilng to drive OVER him in Florida.

 

Done deal.

 

I figure it's Florida.  I could probably make "stand your ground" work by blaming on pain and suffering as a Flyer fan, caused by JVR

Surprised it's taken Tippett this long to do anything NHL-wise. He certainly looked like an NHL career was paved for him when he played for Mississauga...great wheels, nice shot, a bit of a puck hog but as Flyer fans we may see that as a good thing if you can shoot. I saw a lot of him back then, same division as Barrie. I thought he looked like a pretty solid prospect, but I can't say I've seen much of him since then. I guess the good thing is he isn't over 30.
