Quoting: CD282
LOL. You should do a reality check on that. Ceci has been fantastic for Edmonton and you think he's worth a cap dump and a C prospect... lol. Keep your garbage.
I never said it’s a fair deal or that Cody is bad, Cody put up very similar stats to Justin Braun this year for Philly… Very solid and responsible player. Maybe not a true top pair guy but is doing the job well, for now.
You keep undervaluing Fed though, I don’t know if you’ve actually watched him play, or just looked at numbers, but he is a very composed goalie who faced a ton of odd man rushes and his size, speed, and agility are very impressive.
Like I said, I wouldn’t take this trade. I would like to see him have at least 30 games this year with the Flyers terrible D and see if he does better than Hart. Then make a choice later. This is nothing against Cody, fantastic player. Just don’t want to give up a guy who very well could be a starter if he is able to adapt to NA style of play.
I also think if the Flyers move JVR they will be sending picks to a 3rd party team and eat salary…
Something like ARZ takes a 3rd and 5th to eat 3.5, Philly retains an additional 1.75, and all of a sudden JVR is a 25 goal scorer at 1.75 and has very good value. JVR is not a bad player by any means, solid middle 6 player who is still very smart, just 7 mill is way more than he is worth.
So while I don’t want to do the deal, I am just saying I think I can see what OP had in mind
