OccamsRazor Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Just now, Samifan said: Well that should shake up the team....SMH GOD I PRAY JAKE IS NEXT!!!! I am thinking this is a trade to help give the Phantoms some depth before he recalls a D man to play on the Flyers so they can audition someone before maybe a defenseman on the Flyer gets moved. Another shoe to drop soon i bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Still think more to come soon, They have a break after the game on the 19th. This still gives them a chance now to call some kids up. They have 13 forwards and 6 D men active with Mcdud on IR. But this could be room to activate Morin soon.

OccamsRazor Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 I guess worst part is how they couldn't get more for a guy LA didn't want to expose to waivers and Ron traded for and he couldn't even make the lineup over Varone...meh...buh bye Jordan....

vis Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Good. Waste of a roster spot. Essentially they traded him for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I mean, he didn’t really have a role on this team, but I would have thought you could fetch more for a 25-30 point guy than a 6th rounder and ECHL player. Whatever, just moving out bodies I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Who the hell is Jacob Graves Yeah that is really gonna scare the core players ........ SMH EDIT: I guess I got my answer .....

ruxpin Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Jesus, Arizona, take the Weal. I know folks are stunned we only got a 6th and a part-time hockey player. But anything more than a Cracker Barrel coupon is a steal. I'll forget Weal by morning. That said, what a goofy place for Fletcher to start. Whomever it was that postulated this is about a roster spot (Morin) is probably right. Because if this is message sending, Fletcher would be better off setting the drapes on fire.

Whatever, just moving out bodies I guess. Not sure it was about getting a return, but rather opening a roster spot. Also, doubt this was a “shake up” trade (not saying you think this; some other fans seem to think so). But...hopefully a more significant trade comes soon...

OccamsRazor Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well I just fully read the Eklund article I referenced above on Mark Stone...which I love. However this part kind of makes me nervous... My source went on to say the Flyers are heavy in buyers mode right now and are offering up prospects and picks plus 1 or 2 roster players for Stone and the would love to get Craig Anderson as well in the deal... ..sure there are some picks and prospects I would trade but depending who/what they are scared me...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hmm... Jordan is now a Weal E. Coyote.... Another misfit player Arizona is hoping fits in better with them. For better or worse, I see the Yotes giving Jordan a Weal chance at becoming a full time top six guy.....Yotes don't score much anyways, so it can't hurt. If Jordan does the same with Arizona as he did with Philadelphia, then it was no Weal loss as the player they gave up is minor league fodder. If, however, Jordan does better, then the Yotes can do cartWeals that they got a nice player for cheap. Damn, I am Weally good at this.....

OccamsRazor Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 So I would prefer to ship this years pick but since it's maybe a top 5 pick I will send them a 2020 1s round pick and... ...whatelse? I would love love love to have Jake be a big piece going back the other way... ...but what else would it take? Lyon or Stolie to help them fill a void in goal. But it may take a little more....

Howie58 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'd say this is roster clearing. It's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Philadelphia wants a young, talented core that can grow together, unfortunately, it means starting some where like this..... start with the kit before moving on to the kaboodle... The team will likely try spinning it as "retooling on the fly" (DEFINITELY pun intended ), but depending on how well things pan out not only with the players they will try keeping goes, but how far ahead their divisional competitors get, they just might have to go full blown rebuild.
