<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>They have a very long window ahead of them. Bourque, Stankoven, Johnston are going to be key core pieces to the offense and will all be better than Benn and Seguin currently are. Add to that Hintz, Robertson, Heiskanen, and Oettinger and you have one of the best cores in the NHL. In my opinion this means they wouldn't be looking to trade for players that are all downgrades. Again, Laughton could be a target for Dallas if they find the cap space but it wouldn't be a trade involving 4 players a side.

Also Heiskanen plays both sides and primarily right. Lindell is not playing first pair LHD so that means that left side is wide open for Harley to climb if he proves himself worthy</div></div>

I was actually just looking at their prospect pool and it is insane how deep it is. They really did build it the right way. They were very fortunate getting Jake hintz and Robertson with lay first or 2nd round picks. Just really good scouting by them. They also have Kyrou on RD coming up. They will probably win the cup in the next 5 years

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>The trade is heavily in favour of Philly. Harley is a far better prospect than Zamula and/or Lacz. Marchment is a great player, just had a down year. Same cannot be said of Risto. Miller is more effective than Risto even. Laughton is the only good piece for Dallas in that deal. I don't see a way a trade beyond Faska + pick for Laughton works</div></div>

Laughton looks to be getting a 1st or a 2nd all on his own. Faksa is a cap dump compared to Laughton. Especially after a very strong worlds tournament. Risto was much better this year. Especially in the second half of the year after he learned the new system. Marchment played out of his mind on Florida last year on a stacked team. Might have been a fluke that he cashed in on. His contract might not age well. And as I said, Dallas still has the first round LHD they drafted last year and with Esa and Miro on the left and locked in long term Harley won’t have much room to climb the depth chart. And if I swap in Allison, all of those guys fit their current contention window very well.

This is more of a push to win now kind of move. And after getting so close this year they are gonna try to win sooner rather than later while Benn and Seguin are still producing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>No reason for Dallas to make that trade. Laughton would be the only piece they would actually want. They won't be trading Harley</div></div>

Dallas is up against the cap with all the big contracts they’ve given out to Miro, hintz, Robertson, Jake, on top of the Benn and seguin deals. They have no room to move. And they’re gonna have to pay Harley soon too. They do have the big dman they just drafted in the first last year too so they are very deep on the left side and much weaker on the right. Risto helps with that. He is always talked about being a force on a playoff team. He’s never had that chance. Dallas got really close and won’t want to run it back as is. This trade helps them. Laughton is definitely an upgrade over Faksa. I would even replace Laczynski with Allison as part of the negotiations

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>With respect: I think it depends on Couturier's health.

Seems like Frost is working out as a potential 2C/3C and between Nylander, Konecny, Tippett, and Farabee... The Flyers could do some damage next year with a center line of Couturier, Hayes, Frost, Laughton</div></div>

They have literally said they are rebuilding and building the team the right way. Even if Couturier comes back to 100% next year they cannot go into the season expecting that. They are not going to make the playoffs next year. They have already said as much. The plan is to shed long term contracts and get younger. Couturier is the exception because even if they wanted to trade for him, no team would trade for him. But everyone else is on the table. Torts wants to subtract players that don’t fit what he’s doing. And hitting the reset button.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Why San Jose is trading down to take depth players and a cap dump who won’t play again I have no clue</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunnymcfoo</b></div><div>Yeah, that trade with San Jose would never, ever happen. First, SJ isn't trading back. Second, Vlasic has a full NMC and there's no compelling reason for him to go to Philly. It's just not happening, friend.</div></div>

I actually meant to add the 2024 FLA first as well (fixed). My thought process was that they get out from under Vlasics contract in its entirety ( if they ask him to waive and he agrees) in return they get a couple pieces for their own rebuild and take on the Ellis contract that they can just LTIR. Then they also get another 1st. For moving down 3 spots in a draft where they are still going to get a very good player. Briere might just want to be aggressive
