I'd be surprised if Reinhart didn't re-sign with Florida. 🤔

Chatfield would fit in perfectly as Yzerman is trying to build a team of Michiganders apparently... Maatta would be a casualty to clear some cap room. The 4th could be a 5th. I was going to give Fabbri up for free, but the 2 bags of pucks are pricey enough to warrant a 7th. Have you been shopping lately?

This also does not address the goaltending issue but upgrades D and adds some firepower up front with the dream signing of Reinhart who answers every question for Detroit!

a squirrel can dream SharkTank, a squirrel can dream. Maybe Sam wakes up one day and says I hate hurricanes (the weather), I want snow, and I want to pay taxes so get me out of Florida!

Hawks likely aren't interested in Fabbri but another team might be.

I only picked Chicago because they had cap room... I thought the 2 bags of pucks would sweeten the deal lol They are the real prize in this deal!

For Chicago to be interested its going to be at least 4 bags of pucks and a dozen rolls of stick tape.

damn it... tape is expensive. I mean we might do that given how much the ozone above Detroit is suffering due to his hair gel usage. lol but ya it really is just a contract movement. perhaps San Jose would take him off our hands for 3 bags of pucks

We really don’t need defense lol we need top defenseman which he isn’t but we don’t need depth defenseman

BUT he is healthy!!!!

York played 82 and Sanheim played 81 games... then the Flyers dressed 11 other defenseman. But there aren't top D available that wouldn't cost an arm, and a leg... plus... you can draft a top defenseman with your *checks list* 12th overall pick...

No way we trade two bags of picks for only a 7th!!!!! Siht is expensive nowadays.

Actually though, in on the side of I don't think Chatfield is a fit here. He's a bottom pairing defenseman and I think we really need a top 4 RHD. Petry or Chiarot could play that third pair easy enough. I know we can't afford a top 4 cause Reinhart sitting though. Something to think about.

Reinhart is not worth $11M.

This is a bad dream.

Honestly I don’t think Fabbri would be the Hawks first choice but if they strike out on other options and need to add another contract for salary cap purposes I could see them taking him for free.

Okay! Fabbri for Free! Sold!!!

😂

57 goals, 27 PPG, 5 SHG, 94 Pts, Avg > 20 min on the ice, and 4 games away from the Cup with 12 pts in 15 games.

I based that off of William Nylander's new contract and Braydon Point's contract from last year.

Yeah and Seeler played 71 and Walker 63, which was all possible before his trade. The only real injuries were Drysdale and Risto.

Would just rather play Zamula and see more from him than trade futures for bottom pair D who's turning 30. Maatta would be decent option in different situation, but right now Flyers ain't match with him.

You conveniently leave out Seeler that only missed the last two weeks of the season and Walker who was traded. Drysdale was acquired mid way through the year and Risto tore his bicep which is a freak injury and not common. You act like we have no defenseman lol and who cares we aren’t competing anyway and don’t care to pay ur guy for you

All in a contract year. I smell Johnny Gaudreau all over again.

probably, but we could also play the game of would he have sucked under a different system? different city? different teammates? he's never been a driver, but was expected to be one in CBUS. either way, we shall see what the real GMs do... that's why we're the armchair GMs

Couldn't care less what the Athletic has to say. Are they listing him as a Center??

people are so serious. I "conveniently" left out Seeler because he missed 2 weeks hence didn't play the entire season, and walker who was traded and hence didn't play the entire season. I also stated in my thing that it can really be any team.

Maatta isn't going to magically make Flyers (or any team for that matter) a playoff team. He's a depth guy, he's a solid defensive defenseman who is reliable, and a lot better than Staal and Johnson. That's literally it I thought oh hey Philly struggles with injuries - Philly has 2 grandpas that need to retire, they could use another 5-6 guy instead of Staal/Johnson, and someone healthy instead of Risto and Drysdale. Either way, Maatta is ONE person, and can only play ONE slot, so my though process of replacing the 2 old farts with him still works. Either way, thanks for your opinion, and I will continue armchair GM-ing and you will continue armchair GM-ing.
