<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Not to pile on but the guys above are right. You don't have to like the fact that Guentzel wouldn't have been on the radar for Cutter but it is factual. You're also trying to diminish the value of a 21 year old top 5 pick because of one injury, not injury prone, just one injury. Personally don't think there's a single team that would trade Drysdale for Guentzel if their roster was youth focused and that is a key point that teams look at.</div></div>

In a vacuum I have no doubt in my mind that Guentzel holds more value than Drysdale, but, like we’ve all said, it all depends on the direction of a team when factoring the value of a player to their long term plans.

OP seems to insist that PHI could have simply flipped Guentzel for assets that better fit their timeline, but we all know that’s not how it works. This isn’t chel GM mode. Why would PHI take the extra step toward acquiring assets that fit their timeline just so PIT can have Gauthier? It just doesn’t make sense for a number of reasons.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickCH79</b></div><div>Flyers are in a weird half-rebuild position, they aren't going to trade anything they don't have an abundance of, scoring forwards is one of those so I highly doubt Tippett is for sale unless the flyers fall off a cliff

Main pieces for Sale would be Seeler, Staal, Risto, Walker, and Laughton (probably). I'm fairly certain they won't sell anyone else. Also they Flyers would have too many goalies to take on Samsonov, at this point he'd be behind Hart, Ersson, Sandstrom and Petersen</div></div>

Agree, but its also about Tippett's demands as an RFA, and the return (a 1st, 2 3rds, a high prospect at a position of PHI need: Center, and a solid midlevel LW prospect). As far as Samsonov, he would never play, it would a pure dump to get back a 3rd and more because they have the cap space. Seems like a fairly good return based on the current depth of flyer forwards, but maybe not enough

I think Laughton also is a good shout to the leafs, but proabably just for a lesser package of 1st, Voit and Samsonov cap dump, but again maybe a bit light.
