With NIL money being a thing, at first I thought the issue with Martone not being able to attend camp if he chooses college was one of those (now) archaic college financial rules. Makes more sense if it has to do with classes being in session. You don’t want players missing too many classes for non school sanctioned events.
I hope he chooses to go to Michigan State. I would rather be patient, and get him on the Flyers when there is no way he can be kept off the team.
if he goes to college can’t imagine any scenario where he isnt a one and done. unless he pulls a cutter…..
wonder how much he would get in NIL funds. owen Mclaughlin, flyers 7th rd pick, left North Dakota for BU. he got over 150k. whats the max for martone?
Chinakhov requesting trade out of Columbus. Pick up the phone Danny.
Why? Seems like he’s roughly in the same range as a stack of guys we already have.
1) Foerster won’t start the season healthy, so it provides an immediate stop-gap (and lessens the temptation to rush Martone),
2) He’s flat out more talented than Brink, bigger and faster,
3) If he can stay healthy (big if) he’s a 20-goal guy who has a decent all-around game,
4) He shouldn’t take much to acquire.

Penn State is reported to have offered him 250k

Sounds like you would do Brink for Chinakhov straight up. Would you? Chin’s cap hit is $2.1M, so they’d have to juggle a bit to make him fit even if Brink is the price. The Flyers already have a few guys with recent injury issues. Not sure they want to stockpile that. They do have other young guys they can get a look at if Foerster’s health remains an issue. As an aside, an infection after an elbow injury sidelining Foerster? That’s sounding like a staph infection which is pretty damn serious. Hoping it’s not that. That would be a problem. Remember Kalinski from a few years back? I would have no issue with Briere doing due diligence here.

hope he goes to college to play against bigger mature players.

1. they have other players in house to look at excluding martone.
2. hasn’t proved that yet.
3. that’s the rub
4. no idea. off load tippets contract…

They probably overpaid on Tippett but I don’t see any reason to dump him. He has three consecutive 20 goal seasons. Last year, his goals did drop but his assist numbers were status quo. I have more concern with his consistent minus numbers actually. He’s among the least of my question marks going into this season. I’m OK with a middle six winger who seems a lock for another 20+ goal season. Hopefully, he can find another level. He’s in that low 300 game slot where it’s getting to the point where he is what he is.

I don’t think you would even need to trade Brink to get him. He could probably be had for a mid-round pick.
The cap-space shouldn’t be a problem. I doubt they’ll keep 3 goalies and 8 dmen on the active roster. And LTIR is there if they need it.
And LTIR is there if they need it.
They might need LTIR for Chinakhov soon enough. Hahahaha! Again, I have no problem with Danny picking up the phone and kicking the tires. 186 combined NHL/AHL games in 4 years is worrisome though. That would be my biggest concern there.
I am probably most definitely in the minority here. But I would play Dvorak with Zegras and Michkov, at least try it at first. It gives those 2 a defensively strong 3rd, and Dvorak can take importasnt faceoffs when needed. You can take some of the pressure off Zegras from a defensive standpoint and allow him to take faceoffs depending on the situation or importance.
I’ve always subscribed to the idea of “pairs” when it comes to NHL lines. Then you can mix and match the 3rd member depending on game situations and hot/cold streaks.
Zegras Michkov
Couturier Konecny
Cates Foerster
etc.And then add the 3rd to those pairs depending on the game situations/matchups/hot and cold.
