OccamsRazor Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) I wonder what it would take to get Cole Perfetti from the Jets?? He is on the 4th line and if they bow out early again this year maybe they would be open for a trade of assets. He can play center and well Flyers have a need at center. Danny could work up a package that works for both sides. Edited April 19 by OccamsRazor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably going to cost pick 12 and a young player (Tuomaala). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest muscle can't even be measured. That muscle is what separates many players from being good to great. And i am looking at acquiring talent to help fill out the middle of the ice. But depending on what it would cost could change my interest. And besides where else are they going to find the guys for the middle many have already identified they won't be able to find them in the draft because the Flyer never finish low enough. So let me ask you a question please do tell me where the Flyers are going to find a starting center then? Oh and you're not allowed to come back with in the draft. This was just an idea thrown out. So i await your reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no not doing that but we can find maybe other options to swing a deal. Tuomaala seems to not be able to functions without Lycksell and a big red flag for me. You have to give to get but sure we could suggest other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that small players can't be good. I'll definitely say that small teams can't be, particularly in the playoffs, when the refs drop any pretense of calling the rulebook. 6 minutes ago, OccamsRazor said: So let me ask you a question please do tell me where the Flyers are going to find a starting center then? Oh and you're not allowed to come back with in the draft. ??? I didn't suggest that the Flyers shouldn't trade for a player, though I do think it's the best avenue to take in a rebuild. Trade all you like, but make the right trades. 6 minutes ago, OccamsRazor said: This was just an idea thrown out. So i await your reply. I get it; you're spitballing.

In fairness, Tuomaala had crap for linemates in Lehigh Valley after Lycksell was called up. I'm not worried about him at all because he's a goal scoring winger. I'm not asking him to carry a line. I'm asking him to finish and Laperriere failed at finding players who can get him the puck. I'm interested in seeing how Tuomaala plays with a legit center, not a Cooper Marody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is why i am suggesting low cost options instead of huge blockbuster deals that will just require many assets and may still not work. Not many clubs are going to want to move the big young centers around the NHL for low cost. But i am willing to part with assets to get a young center of possible if someone can suggest something that is doable. But the way they continue to draft in the 12-16 range just isn't going to get them there i'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, if the Flyers stay at 12, Catton and Helenius are the same size and Iginla is only one inch taller than Perfetti. There's no real standout center that's 6'2, 6'3 in the top half of the draft this year. I mean, there's Cayden Lindstrom, but he's more of a winger. Even looking around teams and top prospects, there's nobody really standing out who has that size and who would be available. The Flyers might end having to look for size on the wings instead of down the middle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This draft isn't loaded with exciting centre depth, and there's precious little in the #12 range (+/-3 spots). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakemchuk and Elick might not be so bad of decisions in terms of starting with size and meanness on the backend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a right hand shot and is suppose to be an offensive RHD. So till some of these kids lock in a spot keep drafting these right hand shot kids seems harder to find these types (sure always BPA too though no reaching).

Elick is a Jacob Trouba type player, but with an even meaner streak. I want a mean, hard nosed, elite shut down defender. The Flyers haven't had a defenseman that puts fear into the opposition in quite some time. Elick fits that bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least there was no chance of his reduced skating ability leading to a potential reinjury of his shoulder. After all, the important thing is making the playoffs this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 1 hour ago, OccamsRazor said: So another surgery... ...this kid is going to be all scar tissue by 25...

Seriously. Does this franchise not read medical reports or do their own medicals? Christ sakes. Now, I feel for Drysdale because he's literally been the definition of good soldier, but this franchise and their lack of due diligence. This should lead to people getting fired. The only good news about this is that it isn't a shoulder or a knee and that this sort of core/sports hernia surgery is routine and that he'll be off his feet for three to four weeks in terms of exercising. At this point, if I'm GM, I'm sending Drysdale to go see Gary Roberts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
