Also, no offense to Claude Giroux or Farabee, but I'd like to see Lindblom on that top line with Couturier, he was leading scorer before his diagnosis. If he can return to that form or even close to it hes a 30 goal scorer and needs more than 3rd line minutes. Also would like to see Giroux and Frost together, moving G down would give him some more rest as he gets older and putting him with young Frost would be a cool way to bring the rookie in and have a mentor in G to show him along, similar play styles so it would be neat. They had some chemistry and played together in the short time Frost was called up this season. All in all I think this is pretty realistic. They might try to move JVR, I think they bring Elliot back, but I don't see them being big players in free agency. Cap situation is going to necessitate promoting from within and they've got guys who can step in and play.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I can see how it hurts. But PHI clearly wants to move him for some reason.</div></div>

Some reason...watching him as a fan when he's not scoring is frustrating, I can't imagine being the GM and realizing the guy before you gave him 7mil a season to score 25 goals in like 17 games and take the other 65 nights off. He's like Wayne Simmonds, he'd get hot, score 6 goals in 4 games and then go cold, but Simmonds brought more to the team than just scoring. He brought other elements that made him noticeable even when he didn't find the back of the net. JVR is not physical, fast, doesn't really forecheck, doesn't do much in the defensive zone, so literally if he doesn't tip a puck in from 4 or 5 feet out you wouldn't know he played most nights. I love JVR, super nice guy (which I think is also frustrating because you see his size and imagine if he was more aggressive and played with a little snarl how he'd be a great PWF) and I'm glad he got paid, but the Covid Cap situation is really making that contract a bit too much to deal with while improving the team. Like you said, there are plenty of young players ready for bigger roles, so allocating 7 mil for a bottom 6 FWD really isn't adding much value.

Sujet: Crazy or not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Silkysmooth42</b></div><div>Its completely crazy because its just wrong

Why downgrade Kase to Virtanen while retaining and giving up a 4th
Why Get rid of debrusk for a later pick to sign a worse player
Why sign Dillon when you already traded for Ghost
Why sign Sheahan (who cant score) when we have TOO MANY bottom 6 forwards

Not a good ACGM sorry man</div></div>

Is this a Chiarelli burner account? You must have some sort of professional hockey management experience for criticizing this guy so hard. Why sign Dillon if you trade for Ghost? Ugh, IDK, because theyre completely different defensemen and not redundant. Ghost would replace Krug's style of play and Dillon play shutdown defensively? Not a B's fan so idk about how good DeBrusk is, I just know he's a top-6 winger so I'd agree Virtanen/Granlund 1 for 1 don't compare, but adding both balances out your lineup a little better than what you have now, which is pretty much 1 GREAT line and then not much else which is Boston's biggest flaw

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptJosef</b></div><div>Patrick needs a change of scenery?! The guy has a migraine disorder. It's not as though a trade sorts that out. We're just going to have to be patient with him, frankly he has zero trade value right now.</div></div>

Migraine disorder is part of the problem, but he's also going to have problems with fans and media in this town which will attribute to his stress and confidence. I think it's unfair, but seeing Lindblom return from cancer and play put the writing on the wall for Nolan. Did you hear the organization praising him, his teammates saying anything about him? No, he's on social media posting about buying a new mattress when his team is winning an OT game in the playoffs. That shows you how invested he is in his teammates and the organization and they see that. I bet you anything he gets shipped somewhere this summer.

Sujet: Ghost to DET
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>toddbertuzzi44</b></div><div>Why do you wanna move Gostisbehere? If hes such a good Offensive Dman on a really reasonable contract for next 4 years, would that be a player you want to hold on too? Im wings fans so i really just curious</div></div>

I just think the sense is that the team is going to move on from him. Sanheim is going to play top-4 minutes. Provorov is 1st pair, so do we really want to allocate 4.5mil for a 3rd pair defender, even if he is the PP quarterback? I agree I would ideally like to keep him, but with the moves of Niskanen, Braun, Fletcher saying Myers is playing 3rd pair and he's earned it, that makes me think that Ghost slots in as a 5th D-man currently. I think in the right move, he'd be expendable, but it would cost somebody a decent price to pry him away.

Sujet: Scenario 2 - Hayes Walks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MGabes19</b></div><div>lol totally agree with Kunitz's face. And I certainly agree that it would be better to have a home-grown 4RW, but it seems like the brass has made it known that they are looking for 3RW/4RW. I am hopeful that they can sign a decent player (low key hoping they sign Panik, but I know the hockey world has very differing opinions on him), but I wouldn't be surprised by an "experienced veteran" signing, i.e., Kunitz. Let's just pray that this scenario does not play out hahahaha</div></div>

I wouldn't mind a shorter term vet, like a Donskoi, but I don't want to add a winger long term unless it's a slam dunk kind of signing. If Hayes would sign, we've already got a logjam at FWD in the next year or two, and ideally you wouldn't want Frost, Farabee and co. coming up and playing 4th line minutes long term. I like the Spezza idea of getting a shorter-term placeholder for a Morgan Frost/Nolan Patrick in behind Couturier, but I worry about his quality at this stage being an issue. Don't want to waste another 2 years middling in mediocrity and flirting with a playoff spot. Want this team to take a step forward and they should given the young talent and Hart in net

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>skriko</b></div><div>1993.....and they last time flyers won was 1974 after that the Habs destoyed the broadstreet bullies at there own game and by playin hockey .in 4 straight games...and the flyers have sucked since,,,true story</div></div>

actually it was 1975 if we're splitting hairs, and yea the Flyers have not won, but I definitely come to AGM for the "you haven't won since" arguments. Lord knows we don't hear enough of it as Philadelphia fans in every single sport. You came at my post with your backhanded snide undertone buddy, I'm just pointing out that you shouldn't be in a position to talk considering you've had the best goalie in the world (at times) over the last decade almost and haven't sniffed a cup. The Flyers at least made it to the Finals in 2010 behind Michael Leighton...who did they embarass in the ECF again? I can't remember? Enjoy the next 7 years of Shea Weber bud
