<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BleedOrange23</b></div><div>I don't hate the deal for Philly. I think Frost might be moved because Philly wants a 1st. People need to stop bringing up about Frost being scratched. It was at the beginning of the season, because Torts was mad he held out and wasnt playing hard. Since they met about a month ago Frost has been probably the best all around player on the Flyers. Johansen isn't happening, he and Torts have not had the best relationship in the past and I doubt the Flyers would want that cap hit. As far as Olausson, I don't know much about him but Behrens or Gulyayev would work too.</div></div>

Sorry, just seemed like a reason they would be willing to move him, and yeah Johansen maybe should be moved separately, just figured since the Flyers are rebuilding but also sorta competing, taking on a player to get extra assets would make sense, but yeah completely forgot about their history in Columbus.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>johum7</b></div><div>Frost likely isn't on the move. Been one of the teams best forward since Christmas and they wouldn't be looking to take on a cap dump in his place. Olausson serves no value either (not that he has none - Flyers have too many RW in system)

Edit: most of Frost's scratches come from Torts have zero leeway with him and 1/3 of his games played he's been stapled to the 4th line with a revolving door of Laughton/Poehling/Hathaway/Deslauriers</div></div>

I'd imagine he could easily move to the LW, as a left shot, but if not it could be Behrens or maybe Gulyayev, I just assumed they would rather the forward since at defence they have York, Andrae and Zamula on the left, and Drysdale and Bonk on the right, but never bad to have insurance.

And yeah the Torts treatment is the reason I would target him, but that's the problem with guessing on value, cause I would think if Briere valued him more he would've asked Torts to give him better opportunity the whole time, but I don't know what's going on behind the scenes so maybe he tried.

And yeah the Johansen contract is slight negative I think (Just cause I think they could move him at a retained price and get something for him), so maybe should separate that part out. I just felt the flyers would be sorta sellers, since they are technically rebuilding I think even though they are in a playoff spot, so taking on a negative asset to get something would make sense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>For three reasons

1) Petry has shown signs of regression this year - ultimately it could be because of a hard season and not being able to be with his family given they reside in US, but I stil lconsider this a red flag

2) Petry has 3 years of term compared to Pavelski's one. One year of declining asset is tolerable (see Radulov for instance), multiple is a huge risk and far from ideal.

3) Unlike Petry who has been struggling this year, Pavelski is playing statistically the best hockey of his career. Granted things can change rapidly (and they have considering Petry was just doing the same around a year ago), but when we take this into consideration you can look at the reason number two again. If Petry had one year left on his contract, I'd much rather take him, because the risk of his contract becoming a nuisance is muuuch smaller.

Petry can, and I wouldn't be too surprised if he will prove me wrong, but I don't see the point for DAL to risk it. Risks outweigh the benefits for me here. We could be paying to suffer, in a sense.</div></div>

I get what you're saying, although comparing the two doesn't do anything, it's about the direction the team wants to go, if Dallas shouldn't risk it than what's the point of not selling pavelski, but I guess if they just want to maximize the potential of them being a constant bubble team. Maybe I'm underrating the risk, but risking 3 years of a bad contract(which I personally think is unlikely to happen) for the potential of 2-3 years of a top pairing dman makes sense for Dallas imo if they want to compete, but I guess it all depends on how you value Petry.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Ultimately as long as DAL was in the playoff race they would've never moved Pavelski and broken that first line of theirs which have been one of the best league-wide. Not that I'm against it or anything, I really wanted to keep him around and especially with a one year contract there's no huge risk of him starting to decline and lose value.

That risk however is very true with Petry - and hence I'm against going after him. Dumping Petry to Dallas might make sense for several reasons starting from the need of RHD and the fact our GM likes his veterans, but as far as I'm concerned I wish it won't happen.</div></div>

I do think you are probably underrating Petry a bit, why is it more of a risk for a 34 year old to decline than a 37 year old? Not saying he's gonna be worth it for all 3 years, but I would be surprised if he's not very very good. There are so many positive changes that will happen when he's traded, mainly getting to live with his family and being on a better team will almost certainly improve his play, and there's a good chance that he goes back to being a top pairing guy for a year or two imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>I disagree with that. He is far too inconsistent and streaky and doesn't play a 200 ft game. It sucks to see him go but there are better places to spend money. Plus, his contract puts the team behind the 8-ball when Mac, Newhook and Byram all come up for new deals the following year.</div></div>

I think you are underrating Burakovsky a bit, this is the first season as an Av he hasn't been on pace for over 60 points (He's on pace for 59.6), and yes he's inconsistent, but when he's on he can create goals from nothing (He had 17 points in 15 playoff games in the 19-20 playoffs). Also, I don't have much worry with the new deals, Mackinnon's already said he'll take a discount, so just give him all of Johnsons money, and while I'm not the biggest fan of bridges, I think it makes a lot of sense for both Newhook and Byram. There is also a real possibility that all the players I resigned cost less, I leaned on the high side, but I could easily see one or two taking less than they're worth (Also he's 21st in even strength points per 60 over the past 3 seasons)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Oh no. Kadri will be gone. He will be signing for aggregious money that won't age well.

Having said that, finding a 2C with one or two year left in a deal maybe a rabbit hole worth going down. Pr at least a 3C that can play up the line up a little..... say a Sean Monohan at 50% retained? Imagine that gets done on the cheap.</div></div>

Sean Monahan is a no, he's not great anymore(tbh honest was never that good), injuries took away best attribute his shot, so I wouldn't want to take a chance on him, but I don't mind the idea of someone who can let you give Newhook some easier matchups. but I would be a bit worried about not giving Newhook any skilled linemates, so I would want them to add a skilled player to play with Newhook and Lehkonen in this case
