The Flyers got, by far, the best player in the trade. If Zegras can stay healthy and return to earlier form, this is a steal.
I know we keep hearing the Flyers really want to extend York, but it sure looks like the “For Sale” is out there. Just have a feeling he could be traded for another RFA- ho ideal who that could be. With a rising cap happening, if the reported York @ 6 million/yr long-term is a pretty good dead for the Flyers. That will be the going rate for 2nd pair Dmen. Sure seems to me they really would like to trade him.
If it’s an RFA trade, I’d take a closer look at Romanov but not sure the Isles would like that with Schaefer soon in the mix and Dobson wanting to get paid. That might be the reason for his rumored availability. If they do trade York, it opens a hole on an inadequate blue line. The Flyers need to add there, not subtract. York does need to step up. He may have an upside but I don’t think he’s proved $6M+ value. He’s a top pair guy here, but that’s a pretty low bar.
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.
