Sujet: Abandon Ship
Rare high-effort AGM.

I do think that if we're abandoning ship, there'd be no reason to make trades just for the sake of making trades, we should be trading players with actual value for futures.

The Hayes trade makes very little sense for both teams and is unrealistic due to Hayes' contract, but for the flyers why would they want to trade Hayes if they're abandoning ship? His 7m would help hit the cap floor given we actually abandon ship and he's a great leader/locker room guy for the young players.

A Laughton trade is also questionable due to the leadership he provides along with how undesirable he is (I'd want him as I think he's very underrated but I don't think any GM of another team would say the same). Same type of situation as with Hayes.

I think it'd make a lot more sense to trade guys like Konecny and Provorov. Although they're young enough to stick around through a rebuild, they carry high values and can net a 1st+ return each. Trading them would also help us stay near the bottom of the league for the sake of good draft picks and also allow us to take on bad contracts for more forward-looking assets.

Sujet: Three 1st Rd pks for G and Risto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AtlanticCityZack</b></div><div>Ok it’s bad but state why.

Our GM doesn’t want Giroux and Risto is a pretty weak argument, these players are both worth 1st rd pks as rentals.

I agree this trade won’t happen. I never really considered G to Minny bc I didn’t think they were legit contenders. But they have the Cap and they have the assets for the Flyers to retool.

3 1sts for the Wild is pretty steep, especially when there is a serious question if they can win w/ their goaltending situation. But this franchise is going to be in cap trouble for the next 2-3 years so going all in this year might be their best shot. But again for 3 firsts and Kulikov that is prob too much. Maybe 2 1sts and a 2nd though? The framework for a deal seems logical in Minnesota, but I doubt Giroux will waive his NMC for Minny, just not a strong enough contender.

Morin was just a contract for Minny to eat. Considering they’re getting two premium players, they can eat having Morins contract in their organization.</div></div>

1) Giroux has already stated that he'd be open to being moved to Colorado, preferably, but otherwise either Minnesota or St. Louis.

2) The asking price for Giroux, <strong><em>WHO IS A RENTAL</em></strong>. Is a 1st, a prospect, and a young NHL player.

Note that it doesn't stipulate that prospect needs to be a top prospect coming back. Just a prospect. Same for the young NHL player.

Here's my counter offer.

Connor Dewar (22 yo)... young NHL player.
Daemon Hunt (B+ Prospect), 2nd pairing potential... can play boths sides.
2022 1st

Drop everything else.

A rental, no matter how good, isn’t getting either Rossi or Lambos. Not going to happen.
