Can someone who isn't part of team negative give a run down on Justin Braun's last few years? I don't watch too many sharks games
- bulet13

He seems like a solid unspectacular stay at home guy, doesn’t put up many points
32 yo 3+ M cap hit I think

41 for a one dimensional defensive dman who played like poop last season.

32 years old and under contract for one more year.

All hail Fletcher. (frank)ing pathetic.

Added another Dman - one of our young Dmen is going to be traded.
- RustyPipes

I'm definitely getting that feeling too...

Perhaps the Hayes negotiations haven't gone as planned, and focus has shifted to trading for a 2C instead of trying to sign one.

ghost or myers will be on the go next to find top 9 players

Giving up a 2nd for a rental is kinda strange. I know we have a lot of picks but we could used that second on a good defense prospect

This makes me think we target defense with no11 but I think we should go forward depending on how draft plays out. Or maybe we trade down and grab a second rounder to replace this one

If its ghost it better be top 6 and ifs myers it better be top 3

Another 32 yo R handed D
I fear for ghost

Good bye Ghost, hello Kadri. See ya Kevin Hayes. I said yesterday we have a new 2C before Monday.
We now have 3 RHD and 5 LHD. Ghost plays the right side a lot. Perhaps Wilson had more to say to Fletch about Ghost than he has more in there.

I’m kinda missing Hexy right now
This Braun deal smacks of a desperate overpayment at the TDL that they did many years ago.

Fletch said Myers will be starting in the flyers top 6 and that they're bullish on him. Don't think they'll trade Ghost either. I think Braun replaces Hagg and Morn is 7D

Ghost will likely be a goner now, for a forward (Nylander or someone from the habs?) I’m feeling queasy

Yep, what a waste of 2 draft picks, sad

Yep, Sam Carchidi

Braun is a solid stay-at-home defender and should fit on #Flyers’ second pair. Another trade of a Dman seems in the works.

Garbage. Clearing the decks for another team to create cap space. 41st pick for a one year rental.
- PLindbergh31

the GM makes a deal with another team in a cap crunch and doesnt use it to his advantage...that is a little alarming to me

If ghost is traded for Kadri I’m going be sick

Rangers trade for Trouba and we get

1. Softer
2. Older

Good times!

Fletcher keeps helping all of these teams with their cap problems without getting much in return. He should be dealing from the position of strength, not the other way around. Last year easily the worst for Braun. -14 on a good team.

Allegedly the Jets offered Nik Ehlers to the Canes for one of their RHD according to TSN.... could be they made the same offer for Ghost?

What's weird is that were helping San Jose sign their better players and we had to give up picks to do it... Not sure I like how Fletch isn't asking for picks in return to take on cap dumps

Bob McKenzie seems to think that Kevin Hayes will sign with the Flyers.

Don't worry. All the delusional kool-aid drinkers will be here soon to rationalize this trade!

if Hagg is part of a different deal, that deal brings back a 2nd, maybe they are shuffling the deck, still doesn't make much sense. Has to be something bigger.

Trading Ghost would be a mistake akin to trading Brent Burns, which is something Fletcher already did so hopefully he learns from his mistakes

Bob McKenzie saying talks with Hayes still going strong and sense of optimism

You guys must forget the flyers have one of the deepest farms in the entire league (top 1 or 2) for the last several years. Its time to start trading for CAPABLE vets that can play now so we can start a winning atmosphere and make a cup run
