Since I’ve been enjoying my day off with a few cocktails and we just saw a sign/trade, I figure I’d throw something out there to see if you’d do it.

Anaheim : Hart and DeBrincat

Ottawa : Gibson and TK

Philly : MacTavish and Ottawa 2024 1st

Reasoning - Cat seems to want out. He’s going for free agency. A sign and trade to play in Anaheim might make him happy. Plus, he’s gonna play with a top notch center there.

Ottawa gets a goalie who is proven, but needs a change of scenery. TK is a nice consolation since they might lose Cat for nothing.

Anaheim will have two top centers in Zegras and Fantilli. They need scoring wingers. MacTavish on the third line isn’t as appealing as Cat on the 1st.

Just spitballing. I’ve had a few drinks, so it’s probably not that feasible.

That Couturier contract was such a colossal mistake (even without the back injuries).

I see your point, but don’t trust the flyers with long term deals. Somehow it’ll go wrong. Also, I’m just not convinced he’s the guy yet.
- Dkos


Those are the factors. Is the return offered in a deal too good to pass up? If you're not convinced he's the guy. Then you should trade him. That's the decision the Flyers have to make. The Flyers should base who they decide to trade on the level of return and if they feel a player is a long term piece

Just a few? McTavish is a budding superstar. He just had a 17 goal 43 point season as a 20 year old.

You come on and instead of confronting me directly like a man, you make BS posts referencing me. Then you have to gall to give advice out. If you don't like what I post or are in disagreement, then speak up and offer a counter point. Or you can join the other trolls and instead of actually addressing my opinions, which you can't do intelligently. Which is why you take this approach. Since we're giving out advice. Have a thicker skin and understand that disagreeing with someone's opinion, is not bashing people. Disagreeing is not against the code of conduct. However your previous post and this one is. So my advice to you is to lighten up and embrace that you aren't as smart as others and know less about the sport of hockey than others. Be mature about that and maybe make an attempt to learn something.

Haha love this! thanks for the good laugh. The best part is you still haven't answered the question. I asked the same question a few months ago. What specific younger players do you suggest they play instead of the scrubs? Who would benefit from ND's 8 minutes? Unintelligent people like me would like to know.

Why do you think they would only play 8 minutes?

I’d do it from philly point of view. But I’m a huge mactavish fan. It’s actually a pretty fair scenario.

Typically 4th liners get 8-10 minutes a game. Nic D was getting more earlier in the season, but his minutes decreased later in the season.

It was the perfect day to have a few for sure! It’s always fun to throw out trade ideas and see others do the same. Kudos for sharing the fun!

Interesting….MacT would be a helluva get…if you move guys like Hart and TK, that is the type of return you’d want.

Watched game 4 tonight and for some reason I was focused on the crowd. What a bunch of degenerates. D bags walking down several rows to bang on glass during play. Bunch of middle age dudes with backwards hats. People violently screaming at the officials.

Totally took away from the energy of the crowd overall.

Congratulations, you are officially a troll. You can talk hockey, or you can talk about people.
- MJL


Love this! You call people fools, idiots, misinformed, embarrassing yourself, etc, but then you label those you don't agree with as trolls. Keep up the good work Himmler! I hope you are having a great day while wearing your Hexy jersey and playing with your Coots bobblehead.

Nailed it!! Hexy is unemployed for a reason and the Coots contract was a callosal blunder, but let's keep sticking to our agenda. There is no doubt in anyone's mind (except one person) that this will end up being a horrific contract. Vegas had 30 blocked shots tonight, but that is an archaic way of playing defense. Perhaps someone actually needs to a watch hockey games?

That team needs to be relocated in the worst way. Them and the desert dogs. Buttman needs to stop with the BS in the sun belt. They aren't real hockey fans and don't understand the game. That was a disgrace at the end of the game with all the rednecks throwing sh!t on the ice.

Except for that makes absolute zero sense. I simply passed along what I heard from someone that actually was involved with contact to actual people involved.

Just like the g to Ottawa family scouting schools there and that la exactly what happened.

See how that works.

So dumb the Johnny wife poop. I never gave opinion. Big difference.

I am no Panther fan and the fans who threw stuff on the ice need to go, first time I seen that happen The fans down here are largely good fans, mostly transplants from the NE or Canada, a lot of converts. Then you have the younger generation, real fans, hockey is a lot more popular down here than you might think. I have coached in the youth league for over 15 years, played in the mens league for over 25 years, hockey has grown down here, like Buttman or not, SFL and Tampa have good hockey and good fans.
