Someone will want him. There was some scuttlebutt than Minny might be interested, so here ya go.

Maybe a 3rd is slightly optimistic, but I don't think it's unreasonable. Big body depth scorer with a history of performing when the chips are down, as Boston should definitely remember. Plus he's a Massachusetts kid for what that's worth.

I mean... 6'5, 220ish physical RHD. He's ass, but that's never once stopped a team from picking these types up at the deadline. Picked Tronna because they feel like a team that could use one of those.

The numbers speak for themself this season. 23 games, 2.78GAA .916 sv% on a bottom 5 team this year. At just 900K he's got to be one of the top options available for teams looking for Goaltending depth heading into the playoffs. A 3rd is totally reasonable, and Vegas could definitely use an upgrade on Brossoit.

Why I think it works from a Flyers perspective: they seem willing to be sellers this season, and I think they get a lot here to help long term.

Comparing it to the Toffoli deal, Bernard-Docker is a former 1st round defensive RHD with top 4 upside, who is ready to step into an NHL lineup. I think it's totally fair to put his value as comparable to the 1st MTL got from CGY which could be early 20s.

Jarventie is a 19 year old 6'3 winger with a powerful stride and a really good shot. Still really young so he obviously needs to fill into his frame, but he's already playing well in the AHL (0.56P/GP) as a teenager. Again I think it's reasonable to put him roughly comparable to Emil Heineman who is older and still in Europe.

The rest of the deal, A 2nd is definitely more valuable than Pitlick and a late pick, because Konecny is more valuable than Toffoli.

Posted this the other day, and it was met with a positive response from fans of both teams.

Getting it done at the deadline vs the off season seems like the preference for Dorion, as he wants to be able to build chemistry and momentum down the stream and into next season.
