I don't care if he's another left-handed dman, I'm taking him if he's available at the Flyers' pick... even over DeBrinkitty.

You assume they maybe picking in the top 10.

I'm less draft knowledgable than others, but in my readings, I'd say that if the Flyers draft anywhere in the top 20-22, they can get a phenomenal player. Of course there will be risers and fallers before June, but I'd say that right now the draft is that deep before it maybe drops a tier.

Flyers won't be able to draft him, but watching Michael McLeod skate has made me lick my chops.

2 players that intrigue me are Kieffer Bellows (Boston U commit) & Tyson Jost (North Dakota commit)

I'll be impressed if the flyers get anything for gagner. I'd imagine it'd be a deadline deal to have the softest cap hit for the other team?

they can't eat any more salary so it makes it tough

almost have to take an equal $ contract back

Just wish they'd pick a direction. Playoffs or tank. Pick one.

Looking forward to pick #12

The rest of the East is so Goddamned bad...I've settled into competitive and watchable and I'm happy.

I agree with this, I see how things are at the TDL and if I can move players I know I don't want or want to bring back and get some picks I'll look at it.

Pick #12 is going to be a phenomenal one. After the top 7-8, the next 7-8 are almost interchangeable honestly

A team would need about 700K of cap space to acquire Gagner at the deadline.

Gagne's cap hit is $3,200,000. NHL Season is 186 days. At the deadline there will be 40 days left in the season.

3,200,000/186 X 40 equals $688,172

You ask for more & at worst accept 2 4th rounders.

I guess. He's have to be insurance or something for a teams top 6. He won't crack any playoff team on his own and no one will have him in a bottom 6 role. I don't think that's worth 2 4ths but I know nothing
