I would almost rather move him sooner then later. I Know we could put him on LTIR if something happened like before but I would rather keep some salary and get an asset over waiting and maybe get nothing.

I'd be in favor of moving him, but if there's no return that Hexy is comfortable with, it's not a horrible idea to keep him and see if he can bounce back.

If the Flyers don't trade for a defenseman or Provorov (or any other D prospect) doesn't make it out of camp then I'd be ok moving Streit

Question about return:

Would you move him for lesser return if you didn't have to keep salary or would you keep the salary and try to get a little more.

No salary and you get a 4th rounder?

Keep some salary and get a 3rd rounder?

So Hextall is not allowing players to say, "I didn't play up to my expectations," or, "I feel a little worn down?"

I wouldn't expect the guy to give a detailed medical report, but it seems like he's not aware of his level of play and/or being misleading on his health.
- jmatchett383

I'm sure he's aware of both situations. Just speculating on why he would be less forthcoming as he normally is on this situation.

Keep some salary and get a higher return. It's only for one year.

In your hypothetical I'd take the 4th rounder and retain nothing. Gives you more room to take on a high salary, with only a year or two left, from someone else for a good return.

However, I don't think they'd get a 4th for Streit at the moment without retaining salary.

I kind of feel the same.

I was trying to think if there are players that they would move at the TDL where they could use retaining salary and didn't want to use a spot on Streit but I am not sure they really have a player like that. The only guys I see that they could keep money to make a deal are Streit, MacDonald or Read.

Trading Streit would be a smart move by Hexy

I think so.

I understand keeping him isn't this big deal since it's the last year but I don't see a great gain in keeping him either. I just don't see this great improvement that increases his value that much at the TDL.

I would retain some money and make a deal.

Who gets the A?

Would be fine with them keeping or dealing Streit
- PhillySportsGuy

Thanks, OB

They should only have to retain salary if they are sending him to a team tight on cap space. After July 1st he'll only be owed $2m.

Who gets the A?
- Just5

whoever earns it

In that case it will be Couturier.

Even when he returned from injury and was playing, you could still see it impacted him: there were times earlier on in his return when he hesitated to shoot or take a typical rip from the point. Whether it was pain prevention or a mental fear of reinjuring it.
- arichardson22

The injury most likely greatly decreased his core strength making his shots weaker and ineffective.

They have enough mid round picks. Better to keep him if that's the best return

Not sure if this is a popular choice or answer, but I'd give it to Schultz.

i won't complain if so

Might as well give to Gostisbehere.
