Good news for Flyers...one less Defenseman on the market.

Thats a great deal for the rags. damn.

Good for both, I feel

Phoenix is going nowhere, with or without Yandle, and that's a good haul

But getting Yandle to play with that squad...eff eff eff

What a tremendous deal for the yotes

Thrilled duclair is not a ranger prospect anymore.

Yandle so overrated

Gotta give credit to Slats for going all in. I do like that d-man pool continues to dwindle. How good of a prospect is Duclair? Better then Krieder a few years back?

Also going to NYR is defenseman Chris Summers, and ARZ getting another pick (might be a 2nd)

EDIT: nope, just Summers to NYR

Final deal looks like Yandle & Summers to NYR for Duclair, Moore and 2016 1st rounder.

1. One more reason to dislike the Rangers. They're going to be a handful for the Metro for a while now.
2. It seems like an even enough deal on players but AZ keeping half the salary is what tips it in the Rangers' favor imho

3 straight seasons without a first rounder is going to hurt

- AllInForFlyers

Yotes paying half the freight, and the main chip Rags are giving up is a player drafted after the Flyers selected Z2.

Draft's not the only way to build a team

3 straight seasons without a first rounder is going to hurt
- PhillySportsGuy

That's how it is right now. They could deal to get one in the future if they feel it's a problem.

yes but that has no bearing on the individual deal in question

that deal is bullpoop

I like it more for Arizona. I like Yandle, but I could see Duclair being a 30 goal scorer, Moore is a big, nasty defenseman, could be a solid 4th guy and is only 24. Arizona only eating money for this year and next.

The Rangers only have one 2nd rounder in the past couple years. If they gave up a 2nd rounder too, they'll only have one prospect from the first and second rounds over 3 drafts.

You offset some of what they're eating by moving Summers, too

save us

Mixed emotions, pretty obvious the team wants to shoot the 3 ball. Carter-Williams didn't show that much improvement in accuracy. Its a great trade, if the first rounder is this year. If not, Western Conference is pretty stacked, can't see the Lakers improving that much to be a playoff contender. Probably looking at a 1st rounder in next year's draft about the same place they drafted MCW. I understood the deal, I think he sold a little low actually.

Hinkie better pick the correct PG at the top of the draft this season, and obviously Embiid is going to make or break him.

solid analysis as always

thoughts on who you want in this year's draft?

Didn't see this move coming. With the Rangers already Girardi, McDonough, Boyle and Staal on their blue line, looks like the Rangers are going all in.

Summers is 27, taken in the same draft as Giroux. He's filler.

I dont think the Flyers are going to contend for a few years, so I'm happy the current Rangers are taking away from the future Rangers. Same with the Pens.

But again: They got Kevin Hayes for free

Stepan's an '08, Brassard's an '06, Kreider and JT Miller are both as young, or younger, as Couturier and Schenn

McDonagh's an '07 -- he's the same age as Jake

Their good players are as young as ours, or younger -- would you rather have Kreider or Baby Schenn?

The narrative that they can't withstand losing picks would only matter if they're old, which they most definitely are not
