I don't like the price for Braun but one area that was not good for the D corp was experience and I mean D that expects to be in the playoffs every year, even cup experience. We now have 2 D who expect to be in the playoffs every year.


the Shark posters have good things to say about Braun

Im thinking theres a deal in place with Toronto. They want to retool their d and make cap space. Maybe one of those d en is getting flipped? Ghost nd nisk/Braun for Kap and Zaitsev

Too hopeful?

No way Morin would clear waivers. Not a chance.

How does that help Toronto's cap? Yes, they want to retool, but they need to lower their cap, not add to it.

And zero interest in Zaitsev.

Thankfully HEX harvested a ton of picks prospects newbies and loners. 👍
- Landsbergfan


Outside of the first round - and may be second round (in a deep draft year) - it's a crap-shoot whether the prospect will play a day in the NHL. Sure, people can site a player or two that we're late round stars. But, this is a fluke. Over the years, the Flyers have done just as well signing non-drafted players.

If it were up to me, I'd always keep my 1st rounder and trade all the other picks to get another 1st rounder. (of course you can't do that... But, you get the point).

Hagg + 11 for Ehlers, too much? Fair?

You can’t look at this move or Niskanen’s acquisition in a vacuum.

Not enough in my opinion. Might need another piece from us.

That or Morins starting in minors. Given the lack of time morin has played over last year or two. I expect a big trade is more likely
- xShoot4WarAmpsx


Morin would have to clear waivers to go to LHV. Very small chance he would clear. He stays on the Flyers. Meyers has one more waiver exempt year however.

Yeah Morin would be scooped immediately. He still has enormous upside. Not even saying he's like Chara but big man will take some time to develop into his potential. Look at Ottawa and the Fishsticks trading Chara before he really came into his own.

Absolutely a young dman is gone. I expect ghost or someone traded. I guess the idea is trade from that area of strength to help out the forward corp. problem I have is sending a 2nd and 3rd for a one year rental coming off a terrible year? Terrible.
- Hextall271


Don't we normally go into camp with a few more defensemen. And, watch the young guys fight it out in camp. I don't think its a foregone conclusion that a young guy is gone - at least not anytime soon. Maybe after camp? Over the past weeks' trade.... We haven't change the number of defensemen; two picked up, two gone.

then a 2nd and third for Braun is just awful. We better be getting a stud up front and I'm not talking Hayes.

I would assume a potential trade from a Toronto perspective would center around Ghost for Nylander.

Isn’t a second and a third what the Sharks offered for Gudas two years ago? I’m not crazy about adding salary for players at the age of 32 and throwing away draft picks for them.

The last few trades have been a nightmare in my opinion but hey, according to Feanor, I’m disconnected.
