My thought on the Left Wing gig is is simple...if it helps the team and prolongs his career...great...WTF. Best, Howie Howie do we trade him this summer? Age bad contact and he is back some. Same for Jake? Same thing with Simmons like all three but writing on the wall. We should bundle for a couple of these guys. Thanks Always go Flyers! P.S. Cup at least 2 yrs out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the contract still bad... if they finish top 10 in scoring? If they're producing at the current rate then the contracts are market value for your "stars"...if you trade Giroux you push the window for winning back ...you're not moving it up.

I am more critical of Jake's contract but you can't argue with G and Jake's performance this year. Let's hope they keep rolling after the break.

I am more critical of Jake's contract but you can't argue with G and Jake's performance this year. Let's hope they keep rolling after the break. Its always been about the duration with these guys. Not so much G as Jake. Their dropnoff in production ion never bothered me because the entire team had likewise dropped off (especially at even strength) and I could very easily see the reasons why. Giroux gad the added problem of playing through and injury one year and a notoriously slow recovery the next. I’m thrilled to be Paying $8 million for guys bay are dramatically outscoring dudes who make $10. The issue has always been how long they’ll be able to keep it up. Right and how much will that 8 million be costing us then? Jake’s is longer by 2 years if I’m remembering correctly. The good news is with all the money coming off the books in the next two years (assuming they buy out Mac after next season) and the fact that the rest of the team is compromised of very young players, the Flyers will essentially need for almost all the young talent to become elite level before even the Jake contract comes off the books. If Patrick, Frost, Hart, Morin, Sanheim & Lindblom all become elite players in the next three years, then yes. The Flyers could have some trouble locking them all up in the next 5 and Jake is a dead albatross. Lets see see what kind of bridge deal Provo signs. It should I’ve us a good indication of what keeping the rest will cost (if they all pan out as hoped which is a bit of a fantasy anyway). But if that’s our worst problem, then i’ll Be very happy. The bad news is we probably aren’t going to be able to keep Simmonds and that’s a major bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Read some people complaining about the Seabrook contract today. Signed at 32 years old for 8 years at $6.875M. And he’s already been a healthy scratch. That’s the kind of stuff we can end up with in Simmonds. Of course, it can go well, but the odds are not in our favour. So does he consider something shorter to stay with a group he feels good about? Maybe. But his current contract is a bargain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to move Simmonds and Voracek. With regards to Jake and Simmonds, you're looking at clearing over $12 million in cap space and you know that blue chip prospects and picks are coming back. There's so much the Flyers can do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no one even close to ready on this team or prospects that can replace that kind of production. It's kinda like trading Richards and Carter all over again.

I don't know how many trades for magic beans my interest can endure. I have been okay with trying to ice a competitive team while restocking the system and building for the "future" there will come a point that my patience will reach it's limit. I think that point will be if Voracek , Simmonds or Giroux are dealt for draft picks and prospects in the next 2 years. If those guys get traded it needs to be an impact guy coming back not, radoran and aziz's magic beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with as much as the stable is already stocked and 10 picks already in the upcoming draft. I would only trade one of those players. And it would have to be for a guy who is close to making the NHL maybe by next year in return and a high draft pick in return. Basically it would have to blow me away to trade them. I mean even as much as i bust Jake's balls for his head up his ass plays you see even with those types of plays he can still produce. So both still have a lot of value for the Flyers right now. And as of right now as @brelic said they would have a hole when they pulled the trigger because they don't know right they have someone who is ready to step in their spot and continue to produce. Sure they have plenty of guys but in the NHL they are unproven. It is also why they only have 22 guys on the roster they could call someone and get a look and then weigh their options better in that case. So no way am i down with moving a RW with already know who will take their spot in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ8812 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I work on trading Simmonds now or this summer. Unless someone blows us away with an offer for Voracek, we can't move him yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i would ship him out West. Wouldn't want him punishing my Flyers. I wouldn't let him play in his hometown but i would trade him close enough.....so Winnipeg Jets would be close enough. So if it was out to Winny i would want a trade centered around Kristian Vesalainen in returned and....6-2 210 center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Speaking od trading Jake... Jake has more points than Bailey, Crosby, Oven-chicken and Taylor Hall.....yet not All Star game for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowest is Bailey who just has 1/3 more goals (12 to 8), Crosby and Hall have almost twice as many (15) and Over chicken more than three times (27). Jake having almost half of his assists on the PP (19 of 43) doesn't do much to help his case for a 3-on-3 tournament, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the most dynamic player on our team not named Giroux, and even then, he gives Giroux a run for his money in the "how did he DO that??" department. Jake is an assist machine, and Couturier is having a career years, but they are more 'boring' players, especially Coots. In a 3 on 3 format, Giroux and Ghost would be amazing to watch.

It would be hard for Couturier, even given his strong play this season, to break into the top four centers in this division. A few more years like this and he can certainly be in that conversation.
