I mean I guess the Flyers are the team that gave up real assets for one of the worst dmen in the league- so I guess they could be had in a trade like this.

Sure but if you want Hertl we'll need Norris in return + a 1st and another prospect.. Just the way that will work.

As much as I love Brady Tkachuk, you're paying him like he's Alex Ovechkin or Jack Eichel.

You're also paying him almost 3 million per year more than his brother Matthew.

That's a bit much, don't you think?

Philly declines. Why would Philly trade a top 6 winger for futures when they are in a win now mode?

not with one year left...

I think thats the price to lock him up for 8 , if hes only signing 3 years id say only 7 mil

Yes. He's our most popular player, our best forward and we don't have to trade him so any team acquiring him will be paying a price. That's the way it is sorry.

theyd still have a good top six and this could potentially make them deeper if brown reaches his potential

It's definitely not a good trade, let's not get that confused. White is a fine player but probably tops out as a 3rd line guy on a good team. The Brown could reach his potential is kind of hilarious at this point. Philly would have to bet on him being like a Paul in Ottawa, I don't think that has any value to them.

popularity is irrelevant just ask sens fans lol, you guys are gonna have a tough time resigning him anyway

Call back at the deadline then. Price is sky high right now

What I love about the hertl deals is team want to pay rental prices but then guarantee an extension.

love Brady but would rather trade him if he wants to be paid like the Kucherov/Point/Vasi/Ovechkin/etc



Damn, that'd be a package for Eichel

Norris is off-limits unless it's for a big time player. Hertl is pretty good and I'd pay a good price to get him but wouldn't give up a key piece to get him as it would be pointless then. Picks and some prospects in positions that are a strength for the organization (like Brannstrom, Thomson, wingers, even goalies). Of course, Hertl would have to extend with Ottawa because that would also be pointless then.



You're right here but just want to note something about Logan Brown

With Covid (not playing in 10 months) and all his injuries, Logan lost a lot of playing time, he only played 1 NHL game last year. The last time he had the opportunity to prove himself in the NHL, he was still 21 y/o... so considering all this, it's like if he was still 21 y/o. It's a good gamble for any team looking at a "reclamation project". I have watched him a lot and he's way too talented to not figure it out so a team will end up being quite happy about this. And I think it won't be Ottawa
