No, they also need to acquire elite talent at center. They desperately need a #1 center.
You expect them to do all that this off season? Acquire a top center, Dman and goalie? They’re drafting their elite talent at center with the #6 overall draft pick. It’s unlikely whoever that is will be a #1 center this coming season. Somebody who knows hockey would know that.
Having taken a closer look, Gavrikov, Lindgren, Dumoulin, and maybe Klingberg (injuries) would be Top 4 guys here. That’s what they need. A defensive Dman who can play 20+ minutes. It’s doable.
Maybe Gavrikov can help though he is 29. None of those guys moves the needle in any way. They are not top 4 players who will be here if the flyers ever become contenders
Wouldn’t be shocked to see them acquire Justin Faulk.
No, they also need to acquire elite talent at center. They desperately need a #1 center. When was the last time they did that? So apparently it is complicated for you. No, they don’t have to get to the bubble. That would be the worst thing they could do now. They need to acquire elite talent through the draft. The best way to do that is to draft high. This is not complicated. You do understand that who a player slots behind, doesn’t affect the level of player that he is. Hague is not a top 4 level NHL defenseman. He is poor defensively and offers little offense. He is not a smart move for the Flyers. Develop and play the young kids. This is not complicated
They are not going to put themselves in a position get high picks. You need to accept this fact. What you want them to do will not come to fruition.
What young kids should they be playing as the cubbard is pretty bare. Grans is about the only one at this time.
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.

Who do you suggest they pursue in free agency? What about via trade excluded Hague.
Hague is an RFA, but among UFAs, I’d have to give this some thought. There’s a few guys who I think would be upgrades on the Flyers even if the term is only a year or two. I don’t think they’ll go after Provorov. Hahahaha. But, they need a guy who can do what he does.

Get back to the board when you have something even remotely productive to add. You offer nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
so it was tails today? got it. you’re probably the one making all these duplicate accounts…
who do you think is the best prospect the flyers have?
Some will and some will regress. That’s hockey. The Flyers were, by far, the worst team in the league in save percentage. It wasn’t even close. It’s imperative at least THAT gets a lot better this year. A goalie who can stop pucks and a Top 4 Dman will help that a lot. There are guys who can do that who are available and are plug and play, no waiting for development.

Do you think other teams will improve or just the Flyers?
