The Flyers do need a Top 4 Dman. Hague would certainly be that here but the GKs might have the best Top 4 on D in the league so he won’t be that there. The price tag is the real question and if Vegas is dangling this guy for any reason, the Flyers won’t be the only team interested.
Love Flyers homer reporters. Want to trade junk AHl guys for a an NHL level player.
Imagine having Seeler as the 7th 1 year into a 4 year deal. What a dumb ass re-signing.

If Hague is available, Danny has to be interested. He won’t be alone. I think Hague is a Top 4 guy for a lot of teams out there. To me, purely speculating of course, a Flyers D with Hague looks like this:
Sanheim-York
Hague-Ristolainen
Drysdale-SeelerIf not Hague, they need a guy who can do what he does.
No issue acquiring him though you will need to give to get. Not sure the Flyers understand this concept
I’d give up one of the later first rounders to fill that roster spot today and for a few years into the future. That’s something not every team that will take a swing at trading for Hague has.
But how many of those teams want to put in a bid for Hague? Some might, for sure. Like I said, it’ll be competitive if Hague is truly on the market. If not, back to square 1: the Flyers need a Top 4 dman for this season. It should be possible.
Hague is a 3rd pair defenseman. Hague and Ristolainen would be a disaster. I’m all for it. Need that high draft pick
lol you sound miserable.
it’s going to be ok. squeeze a pill
still sucking the Flyers crank I see. Truth hurts for some I see.

I think it was the trade for Hanifin that pushed Hague into the 5 Dman slot. He is a Top 4 guy for a lot of, maybe most, teams in this league and he was a Top 4 guy in Vegas until they got even better on D. The two slots I think the Flyers must fill for opening night are Top 4 Dman and goalie who can play in as many as 50 games and stop 90 percent or more of the shots that come his way. I would give up one of the later first rounders for the right guy who could fill one of those slots. Those picks won’t fill any slots on opening night in October.
If you think Hague is a top 4 for a lot, or most teams in the league. Then either you don’t know Hague or hockey very well. He is poor defensively and not good offensively. What would better goaltending and a top 4 defenseman do for the Flyers? Put them back in the playoff bubble? Whoopee! They need top draft picks to try and acquire elite talent. They need to tank. Anything else is just more of the same Flyers nonsense leading to nowhere and the inevitable cycle that they’ve been in for about 15 years now.

The elite talent they need to acquire is on D and in goal. They can draft scorers. You build your offense through the draft. This is not complicated. You have to get to the bubble to get back to the playoffs. Also, not complicated. You do understand Hague slots behind Pietrangelo, Hanifin, Theodore and McNabb, right? You know who is a Top 4 Dman for the Flyers at this moment? Jamie Drysdale.
