Lunatic Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 1 hour ago, flyercanuck said: I think you nailed this. I'd prefer "What a great deal" or "genius move " or "this bodes well for the rebuild".... instead, as usual as Flyer fans, we get "longer than I'd have preferred"...."full no trade clause is for the first 2 years, and he's not a bargain anymore"..."7th guy soon".."In two years that's a tradeable contract"..."If he continues (I threw this part in...to play like he did for the contract that he now has, guaranteed) it might not be the worst thing". It's really not a ringing endorsement. Ya gotta admit... this sounds like a Chuck Fletcher/Paul Holmgren/Bob Clarke signing. Minnesota. Check. Too long a term. Check. Over 30. Check. NTC. Check. When you're already gauging how tradeable the guy you just signed is, it's not good. Anyone know how many other teams are paying $7.7 million for 2 -3rd pairing dmen? Anyway, back to the rebuild. "I can't see nothing too much wrong with that" Up-Dutch compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right, but he's also got to be working. There's maybe a reason the trade and waive happened when it did. Johansen clears waivers and Flyers can retain and get something?

He doesn't have the players others covet on good enough contracts thanks to the former guy. But...he's got 8 picks in the first two rounds the next 2 years.

I'm not even going to get my hopes up for Cam Atkinson due to the way he has disappeared this season. At least he is still working the phones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) @OccamsRazor I'd love to see Staal go for a 4th or 5th...Give him another shot on a winner. Fonzie is loyal to him so, I think if Mark asks out they'll try to make it happen. And yeah, no one wants Atkinson, Couturier's deal is a dream crusher. Laughton is our last best hope.

Two are the Flyers' own Florida's is Fletch's deal One of the 2nds is a compensation for not signing a 1st I'm good giving credit where it is due, but to say he got "eight picks in the next two years" is a little disingenuous. The real question is what does he DO with them... Edited March 7 by radoran 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskaFlyerFan Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I read this somewhere today…the return that Briere got for Provorov is two first round picks, two second round picks, and two players (Johansen and Petersen). That’s a haul! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a haul! It's one 2nd and they flipped Walker for an additional 1st. Johansen may never play for the Flyers and we all kinda wish Petersen hadn't. I would like to see them flip some picks for a top 10 but it can be harder to do in hockey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they feel like Chychrun can help the power play (for one thing), they should pay the first rounder and a prospect, which is likely what it's going to take to get him.

FD19372 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) I think Danny B comes away today with another pick, a backup goalie, another d man (Chychrun) and MAYBE a little good scoring depth. If they can do that today, I'll be happy. I think Laughton gets traded to the Leafs, for a 1st. Edited March 8 by FD19372 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 If you believe "NHL Morning Skate" on SiriusXM, Loughlin says Laughton (say that five times in a row) is in play. I guess stranger things have happened. They also said that if we eat an additional 50% (25% of the 8 million), somebody might take Johansen as 3C depth. Let's see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
