I like this deal. Its the kind of low cost big swing this team should be taking. You get a skilled 24 year old player who is basically on an audition contract for a 4th line center and picks.
it’s been a pleasure going over to HF Boards and watching MJL get his ass handed to him by pretty much everyone haha
Bill, can you do something about these alts that keep popping up?
We’re one of the smallest teams in the league, plus I’m not a big fan of this kid, but he is definitely skilled and we need centers.

Finding big guys is much easier than finding skilled guys
Why I believe Zegras can make Tippett expendable is due to cap allocation. If Zegras is re signed after this season, it will be for more then his current cap hit of 5.75 million. In 2 years, Michkov will be signing his second contract and potentially Foerster signing his third contract. Granted, Tippett at 6.2 million in a rising cap is not bad, but right now arguably the current top 9 forwards is- Michkov, TK, Zegras, Foerster, Couts, Brink, Tippett, Cates, and ???? Couts contract will be hard to move. TK and Michkov basically untouchable. Cates contract can be moved as well as Brink. However, not sure Tippett is a forward who really can play a 3rd line role. Also, forwards such as Bump, Grebenkin, and Luchanko will probably be ready for an NHL role within the next 2 seasons. Just a numbers game with Tippett. Interesting roster construction decisions are ahead.
One of Tippett, Brink, and Pelletier won’t be here much longer. Foerster might even be trade bait but we need larger guys like him
It’s hard to know what’s an alt when someone initially registers, although it soon becomes obvious with their posts. Banning a fake account or a full IP ban are easier here than at HB. The problem being that Mike and I handle all content here in terms of editing for others (mostly for SEO purposes) as well as writing our own. So we’re not on the boards to monitor as much as we’d like. Not enough hours in the day, especially with the two of us juggling multiple writing gigs. But if something specific is brought to our attention, we try to address it as promptly as we can. So you guys are invaluable as our eyes and ears as well as people to let people know we’re here by word of mouth.
Bill would you have rather has zegras or rossi?
really hope they do not rush to sign him to an ext. there is no need as need to see a full year first. if he produces (and not healthy) like he has the last 2 years you need to walk away or sing a 1 year very cheap deal.
hope this doesn’t cloud their judgment on taking hagens if he is there, though briere has loved him for 2 years.
It is close for me over preference between Zegras and Rossi. A rumor recently was VAN offered #15 for Rossi and was rejected. I would assume it is safe to believe acquiring Rossi will require more valuable assets. Makes sense considering Zegras’ injury history. The team that acquires Rossi will be married to him for the long-term. He prefers signing a long-term deal over a bridge deal apparently. The Flyers can move on from Zegras as early as the trade deadline. I liked what Poehling brought to the team, but the reality was this was probably going to be his last season with the team. I do agree with Briere acquiring Zegras over Rossi with now knowing the package to acquire him.

For what we gave up for Zegras, Zegras
