<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

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>You're probably right. Unless they wanna bring in one or both Kadri and Klingberg. Kadri in Philly orange is somewhat intriguing</div></div>

They could do one but not both if they moved JVR but I don’t think that’s the direction they want to go. Kadri for one wants to go to a contender. That’s not Philly. And they already have 2 centers locked up at over 7M for the next 4 or 8 years. They’re not going to bring in another. Especially since he’s not a true 1C. And neither are Hayes or Couts.
And Klingberg, they already have Ellis and Risto on the right side locked up at over 5M for the next 5 years and deangelo for the next 2 at 5M. There’s no room for him and even if they felt Ellis was going to be out a while they already have Braun too. But they would be screwed as soon as Ellis was healthy again. They would need to scramble to get cap compliant mid season and would get taken advantage of by a team in a trade who had all the leverage.
I would have preferred them go after Klingberg instead of Deangelo to start with but what’s done is done. Who’s to say he wouldve even wanted to sign here anyways.

Not that Philly fans need more of an excuse to hate Chuck Fletcher but if he were to give up a 1st NOW to move JVR to get one of Kadri or Klingberg but was unwilling to do it earlier to get Gaudreau **** would get biblical and there would be a public stoning on Broad St.

Sujet: The Torts Turnaround
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>futurehofer</b></div><div>With 11 forwards, 6 defensemen, and 1 goalie under contract for next year we have $7.3 million in cap space this summer. He was asking for at least that much last offseason before he put up 85 points. If we wanted to sign him, we'd have to move multiple other pieces to make it work with little to no cap coming back and no money retained. We'd then be in a bind next year with little money coming off the books, more dead money from the buyouts and Boldy needing a significant raise coming off his ELC.

The Parise and Suter contracts are what's killing us. It would have been worse if we kept them, but not by much. We have $12.74 million in dead money this upcoming season and $14.74 million for each of the next 2 years after that. If we had that money free, we could easily keep him, but we don't so we pretty much have to move him.</div></div>

Well damn they are screwed lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Wow, we got worse lol

No depth at all. Farabee shouldn’t be moved, he is the only player in Philly who actually looked like a stud even with AC coaching, probably has a career year next year

Sanhiem is easily our best D, losing him would mean we should just rank because no one else plays D

Konecny based on the growth chart of multiple players who he has had similar growth to, is going to crush it next season and have a career year as well.

I like the signings though</div></div>

Indications are that Chuck is going to swing for the fence. They’ve said they want to add top end talent. Well to do that you have to give up talent. Other than through FA ( which right now we can’t afford) there is no way to get that top end talent other than trading our second and third tier talent ( because that’s all we have)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Flames deal is bad for both teams, Frost is a better 3 C

Flyers decline that kings deal, too much value left on the table

Not a big fan of giving up all that in MIN, hurts our future a lot and gets us older</div></div>

I think it’s debatable. I question whether Fletcher has given up on frost. Sure he showed a little bit at the end of last year but not enough IMO. Monahan could use a change of scenery but he’s young enough to turn it around.

Flyers are lacking quality organizational depth at center and Turcotte helps with that. Provy seems to have worn out his welcome some.

Fletcher wants high end talent. So going out to get Fiala fits that bill. Getting dumba is insurance for Ellis.

If Fletcher is going after a big name coach ( like torts for instance) he’s going to try to upgrade the current roster as much as he can. And after these moves we’d still have quality coming up. With the exception of defense. But I think they draft Nemec or Jiricek in the draft to address that
