Do you seriously think the Flyers are going to give two 1st round picks in the middle of a rebuild just to dump bad contracts that won’t be there when the Flyers come out of their rebuild? I mean it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out this makes no sense

I'll never understand the thought process (and I use that term charitably) that basically runs "DuBois is garbage, so we'll give the Kings garbage for him, so then we'll have garbage DuBois on our team, oh boy, oh boy."

I know that Vejmelka and pick 49 aren't exactly garbage, but DuBois had a better year than Barrett Hayton (pro-rated) or Ryan Johansen (with Colorado).

I dunno. I'd take that without hesitation. Kerfoot, sure who cares. But his contract is done after only a year and the Kings get a goaltender they can work with plus a couple picks, along with nearly 4 mil in cap space. Not to mention being free of PLD. Where do I sign?

Off topic but what's the price of Risto with retention?

There was supposedly a market for Risto with $1.5M retention at deadline before he got hurt. My guess would be a 3rd or 4th with $1.5M retention. Probably a late 1st or early 2nd if the team wants the full 50% retention.

I’m pretty comfortable that Sweeney would politely decline while thinking in his mind !&$@ off.

If they rebuild no. If they have a FA plan that management likes yes. I have no idea, no one does. What do you think is better for the Flyers? Rebuild fully or go for it. I don't know what I would do but I do like a lot of what Phili can do with different veterans but with that said, I can see them go through the draft. Then I would let the contracts expire and just wait a few more years to get playoff ready.

Dubois might not be garbage but he is expensive....I would like to point out to everyone...this was a fun fantasy involving a team with cap space getting the top so-called "best team cancers" on one team and getting some futures to get them. Of course no team would trade for more than one of these vets..I would not take any of those guys at the price I proposed.

Swayman a cancer? That’s not one thing that has ever been said.

DuBois is expensive. My guess is LA would prefer to not have him and allocate his salary to another player if they could do it over again.

The fact that we are talking about DuBois having a better year than Hayton or Johansson at 8.5m is the issue as opposed to the player.

Swayman was not meant to be in the cancer list...actually just a great player pick up

The front office quite literally sold at the deadline when we were already down 3 defenseman making us lose 4 defenseman and probably tanking us out of the playoffs all for a 1st round pick. And has said at every interview this year the rebuild is just starting and you aren’t sure what direction the front office wants to go? Briere just said 2 days ago they aren’t looking to splash in free agent or trade away picks 😂

We will see..Philli doesn't have the best rep in that department. The flyers rebuilding would be a lot of fun on here

Best rep in what department? They just overhauled their entire front office last year so I have no clue what ur trying to say.
