Connor McDavid has 13 points in 8 playoffs games

Not sure I agree...22 year old kid with a 30 goal season on his resume and a unique physical mix of skill, power & speed. Definitely needs to grow up a bit to maximize his potential, but I think a change of scenery could help him blossom.

You'd be buying based on potential though. The Jets would be expecting a return that matched his full potential.

Probably not even that. They could easily just sign a 3rd-line checking center to compliment their kids if necessary.

Their greatest need is in net... Pavelec is terrible and Comrie is some years away.

grabo is going to be on the market in the off season. Guy is a two way beast. Although hes kinda useless on the caps this year.

Flyers can't hlep them there...some interesting UFAs, though...Hiller, Halak, Vokoun, Elliott.

Maybe they trade for Riemer.

Scheifele + Petan (and Little under contract for some years) probably doesn't make B Schenn strong bait for them.
- Tomahawk

Maybe but it would make them very deep at center, and give them at least 2 guys who can compete and grow into a 1st line center spot. I think BSchenn would still be attractive to them.

Thats not really something the Flyers can help them with.

I still think they need help at center. They have some young centers, but its not a position of strength by any means.

If the Flyers win tomorrow, they clinch a playoff spot.
- Jsaquella


Does one point clinch a playoff spot? Best Devils can do is 90 points now, if Flyers get a point tomorrow that gives them 90 and they have 6 more regulation wins than NJ

Whose that really tall d-man playing for Rimouski, I think he is having a pretty good playoff run scoring also, no?

Theyd be buying BSchenn based on his potential, too. That is also very high.

Yes, but part of that return would have to be a guy who they're acquiring, whose value is based on potential, as well.

Brayden Schenn has to be the centerpiece, there's likely no way they want Vinny and I'd be against trading a winger like Voracek or Simmonds to get another winger, when the idea behind it is to clear room in the middle

I think they need two...I'll double check and get back to you

Yeah, they need 2 points. That means that NJ and Toronto can't catch them, even if they win out, and the best the Caps can do is tie them at 91, with the Flyers owning the ROW tiebreaker

Jagr is freaking amazing, fortunately no one was at the back door for that shovel across the crease.

The tallest D they have is Morin who is listed as 6'7", next up would be Loic Leduc at 6'6" & Beau Rusk at 6'5"

And Morin has 8 points in 6 games all wins (4 goal, 4 assists)

Beau Rusk is an amazing name. Loic Leduc aint too shabby, either.

I just think the asking price will be very high.

I think its much more likely the Flyers pry a defenseman away from them. I don't see a team with weak forward depth trading their most gifted forward.
