Ekholm and Hynes for anyone else plus a 1st round draft pick

No question. Solid player. He would help teams including the Flyers. However it seems as though some Flyers fans think he would significantly upgrade the Flyers to true contender status. He wouldn't. Add in the effect on the expansion draft and really it's a no go for me.

Right. Who do you protect? Sanheim or Myers. Tough call.

There is everyway Philly is involved. If Fletcher sees this a window to be a contender, then the trade will happen. No matter what you or I think. I would be willing to part with Zamula, Frost and 2nd to get this guy. Him with Provy would be exactly what they need. However, if I am going to get a dman, I am calling Arizona for Niklas Hjalmarsson.

Probably takes a 1st instead of a 2nd. And then we have the expansion draft to worry about. If you can only protect 3, who do you leave exposed: Myers or Sanheim?

Both. That’s why I don’t make the deal.

And the Flyers aren’t protecting 4 defensemen. You lose two people you can protect if you do that. There is too much talent that you don’t want to expose, and G and Hayes have NMCs, so after Provorov, Sanheim, Myers, and Ekholm, your list gets short quickly.
