A tad controversial trades, but I like them.

Monster overpay for Honka!

Dallas would do that trade. Losing Honka would hurt, but Simmonds would be the perfect add for the Stars top-6. Dallas also has the defensive prospect pool to limit the loss of Honka. I like the trade. Honestly, you can remove the 2nd round pick, and Dallas still does the trade.

Honestly I think Dallas should add but yeah I could see a deal here.

I was honestly considering doing a straight up 1-1 trade for Simmonds/Honka, but the prices for a young RHD who is near NHL ready is high. Plus, despite scoring 24 goals, Simmonds is coming off an injury plagued and relatively ineffective season.

Honka hasn't proven anything yet. I don't see why we need him. Myers is going to be better than Honka. Also, I don't think we would need Tierney and could just put JT mIller at 3C.

So if you take away those 2 deals we now have a 3rd line that looks like Frost/Miller/Simmonds or Raffl/Miller/Simmonds which I think is way better than what you currently have.

Yo Simmonds for Honka like yes I take that in a heartbeat. Thx for the steal. If only this was reality

YOU DID WELL OTHER THEN THE SIMMONDS TRADE

Wait.... Flyers are giving up Simmonds AND a 2nd to fill a position not of need? Would need Nichushkin or something else to make that trade more enticing or Simmonds for Honka and a 2nd (probably still wouldn't do that).

Not sure if 21 to 14 is enough for Tierney's RFA rights, but I like where your head is at with those RFA rights trades. Definitely ballpark.

I understand your point about Honka being unproven, but he still has value to Dallas. I'd rather make it a 1-1.

Personally, I think JT Miller is a better winger than center and Tierney would solve more issues then signing John Tavares. Plus all of the guys I looked at are in the age range of our younger core players.
