What are peeps thoughts as to what should be added, subtracted, drafted, and anything in between. Figure condense it in one spot.
– What centers will they go after and actually acquire? Would they be dumb enough to trade #6 for a Bo Horvat type of vet center? If Tavares and Duchesne get to free agency do they offer them an overpay on 3/4 year deal?
– Who will they add goalie wise? There is no chance they roll back that group in any way IMO.
– Do they do anything with the defense? Only 4 locks to me in Sanheim, Seeler, York, and JD. Excluding RR as he is out.
Have at it peeps.
I am not especially optimistic of the Flyers landing a true top-flight center this offseason. I have heard there is interest in Gabe Vilardi, moving him back to center from wing. But how doable it is to acquire him, I do not know.
If they go the FA route, they will end up with the second coming of Kevin Hayes. Outside of draft picks, what talent do they have to offer other teams via trades that wont weaken them at a position?
I can see the Flyers trading for Marner’s rights and then offering a max contract. My hope is they acquire a young center with the potential to be #1 someday. If that is via trade or in the draft I am fine with it.
Plenty of vet goalies that fit the Flyers needs I would think.
I am fine with letting the D marinate this season. I am sure they will try to upgrade. Just not sure they have the ammo to get a top tier guy.

I have zero faith they can find that via trade or UFA.
Now the next tier or 2 down they may be able to add talent. The name de jour like Rossi or Zegras would help as clearly they lack talent. Just because you cant add the top #1 center does that mean you dont look to improve with hose 2 or similar players?
No to Rossi. Can’t have BOTH your projected C1 and C2 (Luchanko) being sub six-foot, when you also have Drysdale, York and possibly Andrae as top six D.

Does Luchenko have the talent to be a true C1 or is it just he would be the Flyers C1?

Think the flyers and flyers fans will be so disappointed when the Jett doesn’t pan out as a #2 center. IMO he won’t.
As far as size what if you had 2 big wingers flanking them? does that change anything? As far as Rossi I am take it or leave mode. Seeing they need talent at sthat spot, he checks that box.
Wish I had faith the flyers can find underutilized or distressed assets to make good deals.
Bill, do you think the Flyers take a home run swing on McQueen to get that size/skill package, or do you think they are still gun shy over the Patrick debacle and McQueens injury history? If they could be sure he was healthy you can’t pass him up. But the back problem is a problem. NHL.com mock has them taking McQueen.
That being said, out of Hagens, Frondell, Desnoyers, O’Brien, Martin (I see at least 3, possibly 4 of these 5 being available at 6), who do you think they choose?
If all available my choice is Hagens, he may be smallish but I think his talent level is highest. He is also the one I think will not be there at 6.
Out of the rest I would probably want Desnoyers.
How do you feel about taking a swing on Ryabkin with The Edmonton pick if still available?
make a play for Matthews…..could they even put together a good enough package?
The deal would START with all 3 firsts from this year’s draft. Then start adding until Toronto stops laughing.

#6, TK, Sanheim. Then what else? Assuming they still have thoughts of wanting to win.
Let Marner walk, bring back JT.
will be interesting to see if the leafs fans turn on Matthews.
