Yeah, but what are you willing to give up for him?

Ghost.

It would have to be a bigger deal as Ek is alluding, and if we can take salary off their hand to soften the blow that would help the situation. Also Filpulla could help us at our C spot for a stopgap next year.....something like

Bishop, Filpulla, 2018 1st

Ghost, Neuvirth, 2nd, B prospect?

Only concern is the ~6M contract...We would have to swap contacts with tampa and I don't think they are in a position to do that unless they take the 5M of Streit...seems like this one will have several parts moving if it goes down to help the numbers on both sides...they have a large group of RFA to resign for next year as well...

If Bishop wants to sign for 2 years, 3 max, then fine. But anything longer at a massive cap hit makes no sense, especially with all the blue chip goalie prospects we have.

Drouin better be coming back with him.

I was with you until you said "Ghost."

Edit: You are aware that Bishop is a UFA at season's end, right? Just making sure.

That's the thing. You almost need to have a deal talked about if your making a move for Bishop.

Curious what Duclair's value is right now. He hasn't been lighting up the minors. If the Flyers could get him I would put him right on the wing with Couturier and Voracek until Konecny is back.

I think maybe showing there was a reason you wanted him might be a confidence boost for him to get him going.

Would Leier for Duclair work?

Maybe. Definitely a reclamation project type of move.

There a couple reclamation projects out there I would maybe try to get over picks. Both have about the same percentage of making it. I just like the fact the player might have an idea how to fix it, just needs a change of scenery.

Curtiz Lazar
Anthony Duclair
Stefan Matteau
Jake Virtanen

Guys that maybe need a change and might not be expensive adds.

You want to trade a productive Leier for a struggling Duclair in hopes that the trade serves as a confidence boost?

I think Virtanen broke at the WJCs a few years ago. Duclair would be worth a late pick/B- prospect.

It's an Ek rumor, don't know why anyone is getting worked up. I mean, come on, how has Byfuglien looked as a Flyer for the last 5 years or so?

Yes.

I think Leier is a bottom 6 type player. My feeling is the organization has a good supply of them. Duclair I think has more of a chance to be a 2nd line type winger and more offensive skills.

I really liked him his draft year. He just can't seem to find it or just something is up in Vancouver.
