Soon I'm going to write a brief post destroying (DESTROYING!) the inane things I've read here today. Just need to finish my hype video for it first.......
- Mononoke

I have actually been waiting for your arrival. I wanna hear your thoughts on let's say 5 players who you would want the Flyers to realistically target in a trade. (based on earlier discussions this season about finding a star center)

Don't worry about what we are giving up, but we can assume Schenn and Simmonds are on the table and avoid D prospects. I trust that you won't say anything ridiculous.

I have my own list that I am willing to share if I like your answers. Go

edit: please

Pretty cut and dry.

Okay nevermind... totally just saw another view.. The first view I saw looked like he tapped the ref to get his attention (which is still dumb) but the other view he really did whack him pretty good. What an idiot.

For what return?
- Feanor

a third line forward or a prospect like a Cousins sort. I want the cap space more than anything

Well, we don't really need the cap space till 19-20 but I would retain 50% if that would get Vegas to take him. Then the Cousins-type prospect we get (to keep) could be Cousins, or Laughton.

Leier and Laughton were never getting VDV/Belle's spots.

Who is the coach?
- flyer_nutter

The guy who gives more ice time to Read than all four of the guys I mentioned.

You people are a mess! A MESS!

No, I'm a drunk. Get it right, dammit!

Do you believe Hakstol is more inclined to bench Matt Read or Belle/VDV?

Well?? We're waiting!!

You realize that Hextall controls who is on the Flyers and who is on the Phantoms, right?

Well done, Sir

Do you believe Hakstol is more inclined to bench Matt Read or Belle/VDV?
- flyer_nutter

Christ, he'll bench Voracek before Vandevelde

- Feanor

Who is Hak more likely to sit given the choice to plug in Laughton or Leier.

Matt Read? Or VDV/Belle.

- BiggE

Shhhh.

He doesn't get access to Hex to ask about bringing in Laughton/Leier. The two communicate via carrier pigeon.

Not smoke signals?

How would be play VdV if he was on the Phantoms?

Read was healthy scratched once or twice this season, but he also plays significantly more per game than VdV does. And has been a much more effective player.

Can we leave G unprotected for the expansion draft?

I'm pretty sure it's not up to us.

- Feanor

If approached.

Do you believe Hakstol would advocate for VDV to be on the Flyers or on the Phantoms.

What are we talking about anymore? You believe Read is a decent player, I think he sucks and they need to upgrade big time. Cool.

I will try and meet your demands. 5 players the Flyers could realistically target, assuming that one or both of Simmonds and Schenn are the key pieces:

Ryan Pulock (mostly for ED reasons)
Nick Foligno
Sam Reinhart
Andreas Athanasiou
William Nylander (Simmonds + Schenn)

im referring to pre-NHL/prospect type guys that might be available via trade

side note: I dont think Pulock will be available

I'm pretty sure it's not up to us.
- BiggE

correct, they can ask him to waive his NMC, but it is not up to the team

Is that official from anywhere? It would seem kind of silly to allow NMCs to be waived for expansion draft purposes.
