Hakstoll doesn't determine if Weise is in the minors. That is Hextalls call.

Until Hextall approves that transaction...

Thank you, but thanks for letting EVERYONE know. So when he gets picked at 18 we won't be surprised.

I don't think you can move MacDonald. I don't want Gudas being our veteran guy we rely on when one of the youngsters struggles. MacDonald can be a solid guy for this team.

MacDonald seemed to be a guy that would play with one of the youngsters when needed to get them comfortable.

If we are talking Lucic I would rather just resign Simmonds to a similar deal. Lucic is so over rated. His contract makes AMac look like a bargain.

Or maybe I'm throwing everyone off the trail.

You gotta be crafty like that to be an official hockeybuzz mock draft GM.

Watch, listen, and learn.

If you keep this up, you could move ahead of Farwell as Flyers best GMs.

Maybe. But right now he is 2 years and 10 million. If you moved him are you really going to get someone to replace him for much cheaper? Right now his deal seems fine to allow youth to gradually be inserted in the lineup.

No, I'd have to trade a lot more than #19 and #50 to land a player like Lindros.

What about this. I know it might look bad but hear me out.

To Edmonton: Simmonds and Vecchione
To Philadelphia: 10 and Lucic

Yes Lucic has 5 more years at 6 million but basically it's like resigning Simmonds in a way. You also still have a big body, physical presence and probably a super motivated player after a down year. Edmonton wants to move him to free up space. They also get a solid player in Simmonds to replace Lucic and a bottom 6 guy in Vecchione. The price is the 10th pick for the Flyers to take on the Lucic deal.

Now Flyers pick at 10, 14 and 19. That's plenty of ammo to move up, stay and take best player available or even get a youngish NHL vet. You could even trade back and get even more assets like early 2nd round picks.

Does it work or is the Lucic deal just too bad to want to play with. For me I don't see it as that bad as i think that is where Simmonds will end up resigning around.

Lucic becomes AMAC which I want no part of

BREAKING NEWS:

According to league sources, the proposed trade between the Flyers and Panthers has not been officially filed by the league office. Philadelphia's incompetent GM has contacted the league office with their intention of rescinding the trade offer.

More to come.

I thought that too but with the cap continuing to rise I don't think it hurts as much. Plus the big thing is getting the 10th pick.

Just like that trade you were never actually going to make.

All deception. All part of the plan.

I do.

But what am I paying them? Also keep in mind Provorov is probablt getting something like 8 years and 7-8 million. 2 more years of MacDonald isn't a bad deal with where this team is right now.

This year you have Provorov, Gostisbehere, Hagg, MacDonald, Sanheim and Gudas.
Maybe they move Gudas maybe they don't.

Next year you have Provorov, Gostisbehere, Hagg, MacDonald, Sanheim, Myers.

things can change with trades but MacDonald at 5 million now really isn't a big deal anymore.

Weren't they hot after Weal when he was looking around? Maybe they'd do 19 and Weal

Vancouver was the team that Weal met with before signing with the Flyers.

You re-sign players to contracts.

You resign to the idea of re-signing bad players to contracts. Additionally, you could resign from the position in which you may, at times, resign to re-signing a certain player
