Marner traded for Roy…….seems a bit lopsided
It was for his rights, it was either a deal like that or lose him for nothing in UFA.
I get it….just find this one amusing
For free agents: Just because it’s the Flyers, I could see them targeting Trent Frederic.
I would be interested in signing Ryan Lindgren.
If they sign Shabanov, call it a summer for signings.
freddy reupped with the oilers last week
He’s listed as a UFA yet?
nevermind, just announce he signed
a good chance lol. he is s fucking lock. mind boggling to think otherwsie[/quote]
As it stands now yes. I was thinking if we signed Shabanov what that may mean for Brink/Pell. Brink would play over Pelletier. It’s also the Flyers. What most think should/will happen doesn’t always.
I don’t see them signing Cates and then not playing him at center. The smart move would be to not rush Luchanko or whoever is the 6th pick.I would not be too sad and would actually prefer Luchanko go back to Juniors for one more season. They rushed him last season when he was clearly not ready.[/quote]
He was a first round pick who was exposed to 4 NHL games. He was sent back down. If he stayed up I could see and argument for rushing him.
Sure, goaltending and the D look disastrous but the forward lines have some interesting potential if all goes well with the top draftees:
Cates-Zegras-Michkov
Tippett-Couturier-Konecny
Foerster-Luchanko-#6
Open-Open-HathawayI don’t dislike the looks of that once we’re into the season.
Brink and Pelletier have a good chance to be on the opening night roster.
This is why I hope they continue the stated path to build a foundation that a big name star UFA would want to join. People talk about McDavid etc but I don’t understand why McDavid would ever want to come here. At least not in the short term. Players like that are looking to win now.
And to be honest I don’t trust a player who would accept an overpay to play for a franchise that isn’t winning. We saw it with Kevin Hayes. Do you want to win or do you want to get paid? When we talk about the type of money these guys make, millions and tens of millions of dollars, is a few extra million worth not winning or having a chance to win? I mean, why do you play the sport?
How do you trust players who resign with the team then?

You would think. I would say it will be interesting who takes who now. Not sure if I would take Porter over Hagens or Frondel though.
I didn’t hate Ryan P. as much as others as the 4c. But for what they paid I like the deal. Briere showing he’s not using Chuck’s calculator.
With Cates new deal….he’s the 3c. I’m good with this.
They could easily try to move up. Do they try to move up from 22 or 31, or higher in the second round? I have no clue, but with the picks this would be the year to do it.
I would be fine trading him, but would want a d man that is equivalent or a second line center. I don’t think he could get you a 1st line caliber center unless it’s a project.
