So what leve should we be expecting them to produce at?

Like at a Corey Perry, Steven Stamkos level?

Or like a Rick Nash, Zach Parise, Jason Spezza level?

well Crosby's cap hit is 8.7, so that's a start

Rebuilder (Carolina/Vancouver):
Giroux:
Top-6 Center (J. Staal/Horvat)
Top-4 veteran defenseman (Faulk/Edler)
B-grade prospect (McKeown/J. Subban)

Jake:
Young top-6 forward (Skinner/Virtanen)
2nd + 3rd

Middle of the pack (Montreal/Anaheim):
Giroux:
Top-6 young forward (Shaw/Silfverberg)
High ceiling prospect (Fucale/Theodore)
2nd

Jake:
Top-6 forward (Desharnais/Cogliano)
2nd +3rd

Contender (Tampa Bay/San Jose)
Giroux:
Young Top-6 forward (Palat/Hertl)
1st
Prospect (Koekkoek/Meier)
Jake:
Young Top-6 forward (Palat/Hertl)
Good Prospect (Koekkoek/Meier)

Okay, now everyone tell me how I'm overvaluing them.

I'm not sure Bergevin would do Desharnais+2nd for Jake....that's steep.



If we were to trade Jake to Montreal, may I posit, the demand should be something like Chucky+Sergachev for Jake+(2nd? B prospect?)...anything less and no thank you.

Anyone know if they will be streaming the prospect game?
- J35Bacher


I'm curious myself if there'll be a stream on the Flyers page or something...

I'm watching the Sweed PP. H.Sedin would be Jake. D.Sedin would be Simmonds. Ericsson would be Schenn. Can Voracek run a PP like Giroux or Forsberg from the right half way?

If we trade Jake, I'm hoping its for the next potential Giroux and/or a more pure shooter to play with Giroux straight up.

I don't want to trade Jake Voracek, I don't....but if we do, I'm selling high. I do believe a Giroux, Simmonds and Schenn line can hold as a top line but Jake is a pretty big piece to this hockey team.

In order (right now) Giroux, Couturier, Mason and Simmonds are more important in terms of what they offer to win a hockey game ahead of Jake.

I applaud the amount of detail in your answer and the examples for each category. Was not expecting that, so thank you. Out of all of them, I think I'd go with Giroux to Tampa or Sharks deal

Does that order remain the same if Jake doesn't have a down season last year? Or if he repeated his previous career season?

If it's Canadian dollars, that's not too outlandish compared to the Flyers.
- jmatchett383


They have been taking American and Canadian the same not discounting so I ended up having to get it exchanged..and no the cans up here are 10 oz. Horrible. And it's served warm not cold.
