It wouldn't be fair, I guess...to fill up their list by putting every Flyer on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers fans have a way of overvaluing everyone they have on their roster lol! When I proposed trading Kapanen or Nylander for Phil Myers last year everyone sh_t on the idea here in the forum and called me crazy. I bet that deal looks pretty darn good right now.

I bet that deal looks pretty darn good right now. It's still early days. Myers is struggling right now. That could change. He's a 6'5" mobile RH Dman with a howitzer. Relatively rare thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you wait for Myers to fully develop (which could take another 5 years) or do you go for a Cup right away? Last season it looked like the Flyers window was open. Maybe it was too much too soon. Having a Kapanen or Nylander puts a game breaker on the roster now and gives your team another line that can score. Where would the Flyers be with another TOP 5 forward right now? I don't know.

Not really because the Flyers still need defensemen of the two way vet type. Right shot to be specific. And we'll the Leafs have none to offer. So sorry next year maybe....

Your team does seem to have faltered as of late. All the more reason to shake things up with a trade. 38 minutes ago, GratefulFlyers said: Excuse me but ... win what exactly? This team went to the final four last season. You're probably ONE impact trade away from another 10-0-0 run and a return to the top of the division. Just need to shake up your roster. You play in the division of champions (Caps, Bruins, Pens, etc.). Rising to the top of your division means you're a Stanley Cup champion in waiting. All you need to do is get into the top 4 and that's basically equivalent to being a division winner anywhere else. By the end of the season, I predict the Flyers will have turned it around and will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the NHL.
