By adding a guy like Eichel allows you to move other assets to acquire a top flight d man. Again I get what your saying and I am a huge Provorov fan, but Eichel is a superstar. Provorov although a budding star is not in that hemisphere.

Losing battle. Anyone that says they wouldn’t trade provy for eichel straight up isn’t worth debating eichel is top 5 talent in league I could see if we were talking lindstrom vs eichel. Provy will never be in that hemisphere. Flyers fan way over value own players.

Yea I’ll trade Provy for Eichel any day

See that’s the rub....to me Eichel is as good as everyone on your list not named McDavid.
- landros 2

I would put him well above Pastrnak.

so exactly what skill set is he missing that will never allow him to become elite?
Hockey sense?
Work ethic?
Athleticism?

All fan bases do.

Its always a good idea to ask fans (reasonably knowledgeable) of other (non-trading) teams for an unbiased perspective.

This is the year the Flyers draft a surprise superstar in round 5...

- ClaudeFather

haha I can't wait to see what's added when we draft the next non perfect player.

If we lose Provorv, we roll with a top pair of Sanheim and Myers and a second pair that involves two of Hagg, Ghost, Or Braun.

So no, not trading Provorov (especially as part of a package) for any forward not named Draisaitl, McDavid, Point, Pastrnak, or Matthews.
- jmatchett383

Eichel all day over point and pasta. Maybe Matthew’s too. At worse eichel is 4th. Provy isn’t even top 4 d let alone league. I don’t care what d you roll with if eichel offered for provy straight up no way that’s ever turned down

I would venture to guess you won’t find one none Flyer fan who wouldn’t do that trade. I probably over value Provy as well but to me it’s an easy choice.

Kyle Turris getting bought out by Nashville, would you contemplate signing him to a cheap 1 year deal to play 3C?

There's a reason nobody here works for an NHL team in any type of management capacity.

If the Flyers lack confidence in their current prospects then maybe.

I wouldn’t even go that far. As an out of town flyers fan I get tons of feedback regarding flyers due to being in a real hockey market. And a 10 minute drive to Canada. Honestly it’s embarrassing the lack of knowledge spewed by flyers fans from philly. Not all obviously but the loud ones. Coming from a base that hockey isn’t anywhere accessible other than podcasts. No talk radio on flyers no newspaper print. It’s really sad. I don’t see Philly as a real hockey city. It’s a niche following there. Yes all teams have people that over rate own players. Homers if you will. And I don’t blame flyers fans from philly. I mean team in playoffs on game day and all that’s on media is poopty 6ers getting swept poopty eagles practice that day. poopty Phillies woes. Really pathetic actually

That you know of

Hes 183 lbs. Hes not small. He just might not be able to reach the top shelf at the grocery store but he does not get physically outmatched. Anr by the time hes in the nhl I see him gaining at least 10 more lbs. For everyone complaining we don't have speed or skating this kid is absolutely dynamic.
- Tfaehner

just watched some of his highlight videos. He looks really short. Kind of looks like Briere did. Shortest guy on the ice wearing the largest shoulder pads

There’s a huge difference between elite talent (play) and generational. Provy is very good. Could possibly be elite at times. Eichel is generational. Top 5 in league. Night in night out. It’s not a knock on provy at all. Again straight up that trade gets made all day long. Not that it would ever be offered. Not even by chirrelli

Flyers should try and trade to get a 3rd to select Jeremie Poirier then convert him to a forward.

Update: Never mind, Calgary took him.

Another smaller d off the board. League has totally shifted. Speed quickness quick thinking current trends. Love the 2nd round pick we made. Love the York pick. Add to provy sanheim Myers zamula in a few years this team gonna compete for cup for a decade. Barring stupid try to win in next 2 years bs with g and Jake. Prayers fletch doesn’t go that route
