It’s not misleading IMO. Those deals, especially the Panarin and Trocheck deals should have included a 1st on top of the prospect. Because at the end of the day, they’re just that, a prospect. Drury showed his hand in every deal (when dealing players away) and the results speak for themselves. If ANA has a down season, do you think they won’t get a 1st at the deadline for Kreider?
We’ve depleted our draft capital and traded away valuable assets for Pennie’s on the dollar bc Drury announced to the entire league he wanted these players off his roster. No one is paying a premium when they know Drury wants them gone at all costs. Usually a bad business strategy to let the person you’re negotiating with know your plan.
It just amazes me that we always have to add, always have to give up a 1st, always get a crap return. There’s just always a reason why we lose on all these trades.
Kreider Trouba Kakko Panarin Trocheck. Not a single first round pick came back our way. Yet Drury has no problem throwing 1sts all over the place to get guys on expiring contracts, 30+ year olds etc etc.
He can careless about the future of this organization and is only worried about saving his own job, bc if this all fails he won’t be here to see it anyway. He’s the worst GM in the league, I can’t think of a team that’s had a worse 5 years since he’s taken over than this organization. From yearly cup contender to last place in the East and a bottom 10 prospect pool to add to it with little draft capital.
He’s put this organization in a very bad spot for the future.
1 for 1, I guess I do it bc of the positional need, but if we start adding picks/prospects then it just wasn’t meant to be. Next.
It’s an interesting trade, 1 for 1, not sure I do it. You’re trading more of a known for more of an unknown with higher upside.
If I had to I think I’d do it because the upside could be massive to go along with the desperate need for centers in this organization. I’d feel a little better if we got something added, but I think the 1 for 1 is fair.
The goalie signing was the definition of stupidity.
That Leo Carlsson offer sheet is interesting. That’s a steep number, and if the Flyers are good, (4) 20+ first round picks is worth it IMO.
ANA has to match that, but it’s tough.
It’s not usually a good time to trade (3) 1st round picks after you just finished dead last in your conference.
I don’t like gambling with 1st round picks years from now.
Foolish move that could come back to absolutely kill us.
In 2030 Zib and Milled will be 37 years old (if they’re even still here), Fox will be in his 30’s and we don’t have a deep prospect pool. Why on earth would you send a 1st round pick with so much uncertainty surrounding this team for a middle pair dman. Foolish and dumb.
It screams of desperation from someone trying to save their own job and could care less about the future of this team. Because if those picks do come back to hurt us, Drury certainly won’t be the GM at that point so what does he care. Foolish and dumb is an understatement.
The return on Trocheck, eh. Durzi is a big injury concern last 2 seasons and the 3rd round pick is a joke. I like the prospect, but he failed to hit a home run on this one also.
Dumping Borgen for a 2nd and 3rd is a solid move but then Korpisalo is a head scratcher.
These moves seem like moves just to make moves rather than a plan.
The dorofeyev trade is fine, but I worry about that pick in 2028/2029 for the same reasons I don’t like the Pettersson trade.
A bunch made it here. Then TJ had a mental episode and everyone left. Started a discord or something so no one comes on here anymore.
