Lindbergh31 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 According to reports, Matthew Tkachuk has informed the Flames that he won't resign long term with Calgary so should the Flyers try to trade for Tkachuk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JR Ewing Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) At the risk of sounding impolite... Why would Matthew Tkachuk want to be traded to Philadelphia? What would the Flyers have that Calgary would want? Should a team that just went 25-46-11 be trading for a guy who's due for a massive payday? I'll stop asking questions and answer yours: no, I don't think the Flyers should (or even could) trade for him. The roster is (imo) bad enough that it warrants a rebuild, and not a re-tooling, and the Flyers need cheap young talent whose futures they control, not players whose qualifying offer is $9M with the salary going up from there. This isn't a situation where you could plug in a player of Tkachuk's quality, and all of a sudden you're a contender. The Flyers have bigger fish to fry, imo.

I don't disagree with your reply, I'm hoping for a true rebuild but let's be honest with this Flyers Front Office being so ****ed up it wouldn't surprise me to see Fletcher do something stupid like trade for Tkachuk. That's why I asked the question. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace "Tkachuck" with "Gaudreau" and you're onto something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
