Is there any chance that a team trying to get to the salary cap floor, takes the Ellis contract off our hands? I guess there is always a chance, but what is the likelihood? Is it too costly? Too many years left?
Guessing there’s little to no hope the Ellis contract is traded, because 1) how many teams still need to get to the floor and 2) the Carey Price contract is far more attractive (as of September 1) as a team can get a 10.5M hit vs. 800K actual salary.
Plus, as Bill already mentioned, the Flyers don’t want to give up assets to move that contract, nor would it make sense for a “rebuilding” team to do so.
As pointed out, what would be best isn’t an option.
I really don’t think he’s any more ready for the NHL game now than he was at the start of last season, and it’s hard to develop a player at the NHL level if he’s only seeing 10-12 minutes a night, especially if he’s not playing in every game. There’s a lot of potential for a black eye this front office really can’t afford right now… question is, can they resist the temptation?
While having him play in the juniors isn’t really going to benefit him either, this really comes off as a lose/lose situation in terms of Luchanko’s development.
@bill-meltzer and this is why he’s the only one who posts here.
Is it that difficult for you to ignore him?
