To who, for what?
- MBFlyerfan

Best news in this horrible year...don't care where or for what. They need to start looking for a steady, rugged veteran defenseman and find some forwards who can hold on to the puck. That'll happen over the summer. They need to find a way for other teams to find them hard to play. No doubt, they are a long way from being a contender for the next few years.

NHL Radio announcing now. Retaining 50% is irrelevant since he is UFA.
- MBFlyerfan

Obviously, so why would anyone want him through trade? No way we are retaining
- ClaudeFather


Because a trade can involve moving salary the other way

How many games did Myers actually play with Provy on the top unit, 5 ? Less?
- ClaudeFather


Myers has played with Sanhiem for 331:50 and Provorov for 110:30

Flyers eat half of Gustafsson salary and get a 7th round pick in 2022

So essentially the guy signed by Fletcher is worth nothing.

Sam Bennet for what amounts to two 2nds. To FLA. I would have liked him on the 4th line, for that price. Physical, good skater, decent fighter....

All they’re gonna do is made a trade for some old D man that isn’t enough ala Mark Streit because Flyers

Yup. I was optimistic, but that was a bad deal.

IMO we have internal options for 4th line. Also can fine cheaper 4th Liners in FA worst case screens too.

I made the awful mistake of assuming the rest of the d-corps would at least play up to or at least within the ballpark of their 2020 level. They've all been so bad


- Tomahawk


Exactly. even Provorov has been sub par. It's the total environment and the fit. I believe that Provorov would be a better player today if he didn't have to be the Flyers lead defenseman since he was what 20?

Its not that no one wanted him. No one wanted the Cap hit with term on it with a flat cap for the next few years.

Myers was awful in his own role tho, had nothing to do with playing on the top pair. The D core just regressed and add in the loss of Niskanen, close the book.
- ClaudeFather


Sure it did. Having to play even a small number of games against top lines with the dysfunction of the team defense and attention to detail, did harm to Myers as a player. That same situation cause Carter Hart's technique to completely breakdown. It's mental.

Those 5-6 games with Provy did not ruin him, he was going to suck regardless of that proven by his play away from him (which was the majority of the time).
