Sujet: MTL Side of EDM Trade
I think you can get a deal done without adding the burden of the James Neal contract. I also see it very unlikely EDM deals out their 2020 first rounder in Holloway and a 2021 1st rounder consdeirng how few assets and future draft picks they have.

I've thought about an Allen for Koskinen + swap as well. Jake Allen has a great deal at $2.87M for next 2 years, and MTL would probably lose him to Seattle anyways. Could also see EDM retain $1.5M off Koskinen (cost of his buyout)- I'm sure he could be a decent backup to Price. Drouin's value has definitely gone down, but still think he has some good years to go in this league, especially in a EDM top 6.

If Klefbom is healthy (fingers crossed shoulder is okay), would you consider:

MTL trades: Drouin $5.5Mx2 + Allen $2.875Mx2 + one of Chiarot $3.5Mx1 or Edmundson $3.5Mx3

EDM trades: Koskinen $4.5Mx1, Klefbom $4.167Mx2, Raphael Lavoie ELC

Sujet: addressing needs in the offseason
Is there any chance Philly elects to protect JVR over Voracek? Also, would Seattle even want JVR or Voracek's contracts without any sweetners?

They're the same age, JVR's deal goes $7M to 2023, Voracek's deal goes $8.25M to 2024. JVR underperformed last year and is a streaky player, but his contract is clearly more team-friendly than Voracek's looking toward to the future. He's had a hot start, and Voracek's play has been average ( no expert but a personal take on the couple games I've watched this year). I know Voracek has been a major part of the Flyer's core for a while now, and his value to the team is more than on-ice but if JVR keeps this up would you rather have the extra $1.25M in space and $7M off the books a year earlier? Flyers have some big contracts expiring in the next couple years including Myers and Lindblom the same year as JVR comes off.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEarthmaster</b></div><div>Agree wholeheartedly on some of the long-term singings being questionable. I'm not sure how much you can really say guys who are in their mid twenties like Sanford and Sundqvist are still "developing"- at this point they most likely are who they are- but sure there's a lot of young talent on this team with potential. Even so, those guys aren't surefire even in the "prospect/young player" sense that guys like Dunn or Thomas are. I don't see any of those guys except maybe Kyrou being a top six forward in the future. I don't want to miss out on the best years that Tarasenko, Krug, O'Reilly, even Perron have left because we were waiting on guys who may or may not develop into something more. I'd rather spend (minimal) assets and get the help now, even if we've got some old guys on the team (as you point out- we're already screwed in that department, what's one more?)</div></div>

Agreed, Steen wasn't even playing top 9 minutes no desperate need to replace him. I know not all of them are prospects but it's a deep forward group, and I think some could impress if given a legitimate chance higher in the lineup. I just feel Armstrong's been a little trigger friendly with making big deals, and worried it will impede the team's ability to stay relevant and keep their window open when you could have talent available internally.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>Idk why people are so high on Petey, yeah he's great but he's in the right spot. He doesn't have a point per game season yet or even a 35 goal pace. Give him some time before you call him a top 10 player, he'll be there eventually most likely but he's honestly probably the worst in that tier at this time (aside from PLD and Larkin).

Larkin should not be in that tier, he's not even as good as half the people in the tier below him. Same for PLD. I'd bump them down a tier (probably two for Larkin).

I'd bump Crosby up to tier 1, he's still the most dominant player on the ice at both ends whenever he's healthy.</div></div>

Agreed about Larkin- I probably overvauled him. I'm a big PLD fan, he's a beast and he runs that CBJ offense
