Sujet: Filling needs but leaving room for Frost amp Farabee
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>I just don't see COL needing to keep EJ as a 3rd pairing guy. Girard and Zadorov down the left with a 3rd pairing guy seems more than fine. As for VGK, I think with the way UFAs are going now, they should be able to find a solid one when Stastny is done. Moving Eakin and Haula isn't enough savings from the VGK teams I have done. If they are going to lowball Karlsson, he could be open to an offer-sheet as well.</div></div>


Oh, I was thinking EJ, Barrie, Makar down the right so that Makar can get easy matchups early on and take advantage of that. I guess I'm also expecting them to lose Barrie, but even if they don't, you need as many good defensemen as possible to be successful IMO. Having four good ones (the righties plus Girard, I'm not a fan of Zadarov) just makes things easier for everyone.

Regarding Eakin and Haula, they'd be moving out 6.6M by doing that. Karlsson is at 5.25M currently, and scored 0.81 points per game in his Vegas career. If I had to guess, he'll go up to 7M or so; Evolving Wild's model has his projection at 6.682M AAV on a 5 year deal. They could save more money (7.725 instead of 6.6) by moving Eakin and Miller FWIW. There happens to be an Eastern Conference team with cap space and the need for a center and right handed defenseman :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>COL has too many D. </div></div>

The thing is, EJ (along with Barrie and Makar) is one of their good ones. I guess I just don't really see a reason for them to trade one of their three good ones but you never know.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>As for the VGK trade, Haula has 1 more year until UFA status and Vegas is going to sign Gusev which makes Haula redundant (unless they want him for the 4th line...expensive 4th liner!).</div></div>

I guess I'd expect them to move Haula and Eakin over Haula and Karlsson to clear cap space. Obviously it's not as much savings, but they Karlsson is probably the best out of the three so I'd think they'll want to keep him however possible. Plus, Stastny only has two years left on his deal going into next season so they'll need to keep a good center around (along with Glass) for when he retires or doesn't resign.

Sujet: If D gt C realistically
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zubrowka</b></div><div>Took your advice, and bumped it up to a third. The premise with the Yotes dealing anyone like Demers is how badly burned they were with injuries last year. It really killed their season. They may want to shed salary of injury risk players (who are still marketable) in favor of UFA forward signings or trades to address their scoring woes. I'm convinced they will do this with someone regardless of whether the Flyers partner with them in a trade. .</div></div>

It definitely makes sense, but I'd think they'd want fair value for Demers so the better pick is probably more realistic. Plus, there's definitely going to be competition to get him as you mentioned so a 3rd over a 4th probably makes this deal more attractive to the Yotes. That being said, if all it would take is a fourth and Hagg then I'm sure plenty of us will drive Hagg to the airport lol.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zubrowka</b></div><div>Just leaving AMac where he is as there's no need for more $ now in this build. He's fine as depth. </div></div>


Fair though I have two thoughts there:

1. I don't expect them (or see a reason to) carry 8 defensemen.
2. Sending him down opens up more cap space to either use later on in the year or use now to bring in another forward in the event that they don't think Frost is NHL ready.

There's a good amount of space without sending AMac to the AHL, but sending him to the Phantoms should give you like 2-3M more to play with. I'm not sure if someone jumps out as an ideal candidate, but it gives you more flexibility to improve the roster.

Also, the Phantoms are likely going to need some bodies on defense IIRC; none of the European skater prospects are coming over from what I've seen so they only have 4 or 5 defensemen heading into next season as of now. That could obviously change, of course.

Sujet: RNH and Trouba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Care to elaborate...</div></div>

Couple thoughts from a fellow Flyers fan:

1. Signing Talbot to that deal would be fine. Not great, since he's struggled the past two seasons, but fine for his purpose.

2. Provorov is probably a bit low dollars wise on an 8 year deal. I'd think he'll get 7M+

3. Sanheim and TK bridge deals are good and realistic, though maybe a tad bit high for both.

4. Send AMac to the AHL to save yourself some cap. Could buy him out too, but there's plenty of space without doing that.

5. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Winnipeg trade because I don't think Trouba is as big of an upgrade as most people seem to think. He gives up a lot of shots and scoring changes IIRC, which is kind of the opposite of what Fletcher wants. That's not to say Trouba isn't good, mind you; I just don't think he solves the problem.

6. Kind of doubt Frost makes the team out of camp, though I wouldn't hate it. Sending AMac down should give them like 4-5M in cap space, which could be used on a forward to play with Nolan and JVR.

7. I really, really hope we never have to see a Hagg-Gudas pairing again. It's painful to watch. Maybe just swap Myers and Gudas for the start of the year? I kind of hope they move Hagg, TBH.

I know it seems like I'm picking this apart, but this is one of the better ACGM posts on here and, while not a dream off-season, this seems somewhat realistic IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jflo819</b></div><div><i>I think you overpaid a bit for Schenner, and not sure VV and Bellemare both sit out - but other than that, nice job. Interesting to see what they do with Lyubimov - don't think he starts from day one.</i></div></div>

Schenn just scored 59 points and his comparables (age plus points) should put him in the 4.75M-5M+ range with 5.5M probably being the "max" for him. I do agree that Lyubimov probably doesn't start from day one, but could if a trade is made. I suspect that the fourth line will be PEB - Gordon - Read/Weise (whichever one doesn't get the RW3 spot).

Only other change I'd expect is that Ghost and Provorov most likely won't play together. I would expect one with MDZ and one with Gudas; though I guess they could put one with Schultz and the other with Streit if they want MDZ-Gudas to stay together.
