That Ellis trade is rough for the Flyers

instead of the current isles trade, what would philly want for sanheim? just a first? they need LD not RD

I see where you're going with it, I just don't know if the Islanders would be super in on Ellis - they already have Pulock at $6.15M and Dobson due for an RFA raise (probably $3.5-4M) on the right side next year, and adding another $6.25M for Ellis through his age-35 season is not where they want to dump assets into.

I love both Atkinson and Ellis, but I'd rather just keep what we have given the cap situation.

Im assuming Bettman Is just arbitrarily making the Oilers give up a 4th?

Assuming that is a Giroux trade with the Avs I'd decline.
