Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: Worlds, Phantoms, Memorial Cup, Hayton & Sandin

Hayton definitely sounds like a Flyers pick. Character, IQ with some skill to contribute. I saw him once in person this year and he was driving the bus when Frost wasnt on the ice. That being said, Katchouk and Timmins were at WJC.

Thoughts on Faulk?

Relatively young at 26.

Expensive...d-man, prospect and draft pick? Obviously extremely broad.

Depends on what that package is.

Gudas, Rubstov and 1st (nope) or 2nd (maybe).

Im not sure id take the chance on him after a disappointing season. He did seem to finish strong though. Price would have to be right.

Staal would be another Cane Im interested in strictly from a team needs perspective. Not sold on 5 more years of that contract though.

Tough to decide, really depends on what goes the other way.

I'd rather not trade for a dman who will block Sanheim and Myers path to the Flyers PP.

Unless a major change happens, Ghost is supplanted on PP1 and Provorov on PP2 with 1 spot on PP2, possibly.

So your PP-Blocker right now is Provy.

But do his shorts say juicy on them??

Could trading Jordan Weal fetch us a late 2nd or early/mid 3rd for this draft?

I'd like to think some team would do that, although doubtful on the 2nd, 3rd sounds more likely

I always forget about Weal, very forgettable.

I dont think the timing is right to trade Weal. Wait until after July 1st at least to see who youre replacing him with.

At the moment this is your depth chart. So see where upgrades can be made and then sell off extras.

Giroux Couturier Voracek
Lindblom Patrick Voracek
Weal Laughton Simmonds
Raffl Lehtera Weise
Leier

Provorov Macdonald
Ghost Hagg
Saneheim Gudas
Morin Myers

Elliott
Neuvirth
Lyon

I'd love to find a taker for Weise that doesn't involve a cap dump coming back. Or even a 1-year cap dump.

I know they haven't made the club yet, but I would find it surprising if 1 of NAK, Vex, and possibly Vorobyev is not on the Flyers roster come game 1 of 18-19 season.

I would not hesitate at any time if offered a 2nd or a 3rd round pick for Weal.

I would drive him to wherever he is traded for a 3rd.

I would do a second in a heartbeat. Depends on the 3rd. I would rather give him one more year to try and put it together. Overall, last year he had a disappointing season, but there were a few stretches of games where he was very good.

Breaking: Flyers have traded forward Jordan Weal to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a 3rd round draft pick in the 2018 NHL entry draft.

Agree.

I also wonder if Weise doesn't have a strong camp and guys like Vecchione and NAK play really well would the Flyers waive Weise and gain a little cap flexibility.

"Look, Dale...we're going to waive you. If you pass through waivers, just refuse to report, and we'll work out a mutual termination with you. Say...for $2 million a year for the next 2 years."
