I wouldn't, just based on how the Flyers are built -- the odds of them not taking a center at No. 2 are, to my mind, pretty slim, and they can afford to wait for that center to develop, if need be

I used to be really wary of Schenn, but he's moved past those maddening bouts of inconsistency. He's good for 50-60 points for the rest of his deal, and he fits what they're trying to do. No problems with him here, anymore

I swear everyone else I see on hockey forums incorrectly puts "weary" in that spot.

Bobby Mac saying they may move Drouin to center a la Giroux.
- Feanor

Huh. I'd have to see it in action -- he's got the vision and the hands, the passing ability. But I don't know about the skating/backchecking/compete that you need to have to play center down low

Not saying it won't work. Curious to see that -- he's got the hands to make bad players look good

Ha! I know it can be irritating, but I try to be grammatically correct, more often than not

Schenn still doesn't contribute nearly enough at 5 on 5. Can't argue with a guy who gives you 50-60 consistently but if they could swap him for a similarly aged guy who is more productive at 5 on 5 I wouldn't be against it.

That said I'm fine keeping him too.

But around the league -- and yeah, it's frustrating -- a lot of guys just don't kill it at ES.

It is hard to score consistently in that league at evens. It gets harder and harder almost every year. Again, my memory isn't the sharpest today, but in my spin around the league last year there were only a few guys who I saw really standing out at ES -- the Tarasenkos of the world aren't plentiful on the wing

That is true. I'm fine with keeping him. His next contract is going to be an interesting one. He might be due for more than what people are expecting.

Have to admit, I like Drouin more than most, but the Habs needed a freaking center, if they aren't gonna play Galchenyuk there, if they were gonna offer up Sergechev

JMO, but they have enough wingers, even if Radulov walks -- though that would hurt
- AllInForFlyers

You have to give to get. Right now the Flyers are weak at the LW position. I've been pretty hard Hextall and Hakstol within the last couple seasons but I don't have the stones trade one of Sanheim, Myers, Morin, Hagg or even Ghost either. Ghost is a major compliment to the offense and we don't know what we have in the others guys yet, until they play at the NHL level. I would probably make such a deal once we know who is expandable on a very young and deep defense.

OK, folks.

We all know how the Flyers are set up for next week, what the roster looks like today, who our prospects are.

You can do one trade, right now. One trade, big or small. It has to be realistic, within the realm of the salary cap and value sent out in return for your acquisition.

Your deal can be shedding salary, or moving a guy to open up a roster slot -- whatever you want.

What's your move?

Laughton, one of Read (at 50%) or Raffl, and 4th for Ryan Pulock

- YuenglingJagr

Ah. You think you have the Isles boxed in because they likely want to shed Halak's cash, and you are willing to sell high on Schenn's production for Barzal's potential and DeHaaaaaaaaaan's relative youth, steadiness and experience

Interesting

- jmatchett383

Huh. You think the Isles are afraid that Tavares walks if they don't make the playoffs, so you provide them with Raffl's quality depth, Laughton's potential, and Read's ability to possibly help but likely not hurt them if he plays, for Pulock's potential -- and he's a right-shot, is he not?

and this is why I am not moving Provorov for any of the deals mentioned recently. Obviously young dmen are more highly regarded

I would re-sign Mason and trade anyone not named the following.

Claude Giroux
Jake Voracek
Wayne Simmonds
Brayden Schenn
Sean Couturier
Shayne Gostisbehere
Ivan Provorov
Travis Konecny
Radko Gudas
Samuel Morin
Travis Sanheim
Phillip Myers
Robert Hagg
Anthony Stolarz
German Rubtsov
2017 First Round Pick to be named later

Everyone else can go. For one more season I think should add from the system and decide major deals next year.

2nd-overall for Mitch Marner.

Honestly I just said Trayden Schenn for the 3 Islanders I've been talking about for months.

De Haan I like, but I would do Hickey instead since he will be UFA. Halak's agent has openly feuded with Snow and I do think they would like to offload him, and Barzal is just a huge crush who I wouldn't trade if I were them.

The main idea is that the isles need to get rid of a defenseman, but more importantly, the only move I am truly hoping they make is an upgrade to their 3rd protected defenseman

Galchenyuk is pretty good at ES isn't he?
- Tomahawk

See, I thought so from the eye test -- I thought he drove play on offense when they just left him be at center, though I don't know that he always utilized his linemates exceptionally well, but that could also have been that he didn't always have what I would call superior wingers on his flanks. Chicken/egg, I don't know

Again, that's just me in limited viewings. I never saw him getting caved in to my memory

But the reason I wouldn't do him for Schenn is that I just don't think, with the No. 2 coming and Couturier and Giroux where they are, Filippula for next year, that Galchenyuk really moves the needle much more than they already have

I'd sign Ryan Miller to a one or a two year deal because I'm afraid of what they'll eventually do this off season to address the goaltending. I know that's not a trade.

I'm expecting a sophomore jinks from Provorov but I still expect him to be money in the bank in the long run.

- mayorofangrytown

Nope, that's good -- and I freely admit that I'm putting on a brave face about the goaltending, because if I'm being honest, I am sorta terrified at what they're gonna get next season
