Read Dobson is looking for $11 million/yr on a multi year extension. Could be the reason Romanov is available for a trade.
Plus they’ll likely draft Schaefer. Seems they’re in a Buffalo-like position (Dahlin, Power, Byram) with more D than they actually need relative to everything else. The Flyers need everything so they’re more balanced . . . or something like that.
Well he just went to Seattle for a 3rd and a 4th.
That sounds about right. He’ll help Seattle. He would have been an upgrade here but the Flyers have too many other priorities and cap space isn’t an unlimited resource.
dumba would be in the flyers top 6.
You want to add $8.25M to their cap to get a third pairing guy and a third line left wing? Add the new York deal and they’re near cap strapped while still needing a goalie and a Top 4 Dman. Dallas’ bad contracts are their problem.
doesn’t matter what you think. flyers very likely think otherwise. they want size. can clearly see him being a target
I also wouldn’t go after him either as you know they will then give him an ext.
maybe even an expanded deal where dumba also comes back with a pick. zamula goes the other way. kills 2 birds with one stone for dallas.
Dumba didn’t even play for them in the playoffs. Taking bad Dallas contracts isn’t my idea of a rebuild. Why would you want to do them any favors because the Flyers wouldn’t be helping themselves?
marchment a flyers target? brink even up? flyers dying to add “size”
I don’t think Marchment is what the Flyers need. His cap hit is $4.5M for one more year and I’d rather see the Flyers spend that on D or a goalie. Dallas has to make a couple moves to free up cap space. Give the kids a shot at filling out the forward slots.
According to a report from RG, the Flyers have shown interest in 25-year-old New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov, a pending restricted free agent known for his physicality, defensive reliability, and emerging offensive instincts.
He would be a Top 4 guy here but you’d have to give to get in a trade.
Still think Briere should trade one of the later 2nd round picks to VAN for Thatcher Demko.
Yes, this should at least be under consideration. A better option would be finding this year’s Kevin Lankinen. If he’s out there, get him for $1M a year and extend him when he delivers.
you are a dope. where did I claim I know more about the gangster of love? what I said in a round about way it is comical you mentioning that plyer in the same group as the others.
Gadjovich is absolutely in the group of players who played in the finals and won the cup. This is not complicated. Yes, I did find it amusing that he dressed so much so deep in a cup run, but telling as well. I know some hockey purists think it’s Cro-Magnon hockey, but it still wins cups.
imagine mention Gadjovich with those other players.
Maurice saw fit to dress him in every conference finals and finals game this year. Briere is one thing, but are you claiming to know more about hockey than Maurice now? He’s only got two cups and 27 years of NHL head coaching experience.
here is hoping the flyer acquire him. What do you think it would take? is he better at his job than ND? A ND upgrade would be a smart move no?
Hahahaha! The Flyers should wait until he turns UFA and guarantee him power play time. That should do it. Seriously though, size, toughness and meanness still matters. The Flyers need that too. FLA had Bennett, Gadjovich, Tkachuk and Marchand. EDM had Perry, Kane, Nurse. If you watched the playoffs, you didn’t see the Ice Capades. A lot of hitting and all around chippiness.
60 PIMS must be the most effective enforcer in the league. Wonder if Florida would consider moving him, as he can’t add value to the flyers lineup. can’t underestimate that cup experience.
Gadjovich is very effective in his role.
looking forward to the flyers emulating the panthers and on the path to future success.
Fun Fact: Florida dressed their enforcer Gadjovich for every game of the conference finals and the finals!
If Sanheim is your #1, you are not a playoff team (which is pretty obvious at this point).
Jones is getting the most ice time in Florida, Bouchard and Nurse are the top pairing in EDM. DAL has a fine overall D but I’m not sure any one of their guys is all that much better than Sanheim, maybe Heiskanen. I like Slavin in CAR. Those are the Final 4 teams. The top teams have solid D corps, not one great guy.
their core is/was built on their draft picks. that is a 100% fact.
go flyers become the next panthers. you can do it.
why be a fan? I am at the point where I enjoy watching them fail more than win. that is what they have turned me into. all about the entertainment
Ekblad and Barkov are core players. That’s two guys. Lundell is an outstanding depth center who still has some upside. Now he’s a guy who could help the Flyers. They did use draft picks and players they drafted to get other key pieces together. I still wouldn’t come close to saying FLA was built on their draft picks.
flyers are incapable of making smart moves or being a leader.
when you look at floridas drafts the last 8 years years they have received virtually no help from said drafts. makes their run even more impressive.Then why be a Flyers fan at all? The devil is in the details and they have to score big with #6 and, at the very least, one or two of the other picks they have in the first two rounds. That will be on them. At least you admit I’m right in that FLA’s success has been built on firing on all cylinders in terms of player acquisition but the current team is not loaded with their own high draft picks.
