I'm seeing many out there saying UTAH will be open for business with all of their cap space and multiple draft picks. Looking to get good fast for their new City.

43 million in cap space.

3 2024 2nd round picks
4 2025 2nd round picks
3 2026 2nd round picks

Some pretty good prospects like Simashev, But, Geekie, Lamoureax||

Intriguing thought. Utah has a great foundation of young quality players and some veterans like TK, Laughton, even Sanheim if he waives his NYC, could be enticing for a new team and a new city that’ll want to compete with Vegas’ success. And frankly, SLC is a beautiful city in a gorgeous state that one would think any professional would like to live and raise a family in.

Ok MB, your mission, should you choose to accept, is to play matchmaker between GMDB and Bill Armstrong! Make it happen!

See, this where I disagree with you. If Edmonton loses Draisaitl given their window is open right now, they are going to want to replace his production. TK + Frost does that. Plus, Frost playing on Edmonton means he can produce more than he has with the Flyers. And Edmonton is getting a 1st round pick also which as you know is valuable across the league. If they want a defenseman instead, the Flyers have options. With Toronto, sure they want to replace the production of Marner but they also lack leadership and grit. Laughton + Farabee not only replace Marner's production, they also provide the leadership and grit Toronto is looking for. Again if they want defense versus a pick the Flyers have assets there to offer. I think the Flyers have the assets to make this happen. Certainly they have more assets than say, a team like the Bruins.

Draisaitl is much more impactful to a team than Marner. I would want him. But TK,Frost, and a 1st wouldn’t get it done. Draisaitl can dominate games for long periods with or without McDavid. He is a big body playing big with aggression. Teams would be willing to give up more.

You are crushing it today! Let's keep MM over in Russia for 5 more years, so that the Flyers can emulate those Sabres and Sens!! Eh what??

- Phillywhiteout


The Flyers are worse than the Sabres, and Sens

I laugh at this argument from those that support this trash heap management group.

Has Clarke accepted your offer for an hour with no lube?

Because our top line will be Draisaitl - Michkov - Marner!

Seriously though, if the Canes once again fall short, which I think they will, aren't we overrating Brindy a bit?

- jd250

Why was torts the right guy since he fell short every year since 2004? You were completely on board with him?

I think the issue is more one of roster construction. The Canes need more forwards willing and able to do the dirty work in front of the net. That’s the playoff money area when time and space are at a premium due to the change in how the rules are enforced - or not enforced. Now, I don’t know how much influence Rod has had on the roster…

Ha ha, the pathetic Suxas strike again!! I just saw a report that their ownership bought 2,000 tickets to tonight's game 6 cause they didn't want Knicks fans to get them. Yet more proof that Suxas fans are a bunch of fraud frontrunner fans! A playoff game and they can't get people to come...so pathetic!!

nah, thats not what happened....dont let facts get in the way of a good story though

Yes, TK is part of the trade to get Draisaitl. By the time Michkov needs to get paid will be 3 years from this season, and by then the cap will go up even more. Don't worry, it will all work out, trust me
- jd250

Why would the take TK and Frost or Laughton?? Just resign Draisaitl....their salary added together with TKs raise will be close to Draisaitls salary

STFU! I'm not supporting the management group. The Sabres have missed the playoffs for 13 straight years and the Sens have perpetually sucked forever, so I don't want to emulate them you douchebag!

What's funny is that you REMEMBER absolutely EVERYTHING I say EVER!! You must have absolutely NO LIFE of your own. My thing with the Russian was that I was concerned about him not coming to NA you effing wingnut! But, of course, you try to make it look like I'm wrong all the time cause you know that I'm right 98% of the time. Perhaps we should meet? I'll bring a collar and leash, and walk you since it's become so brutally obvious that I already own you.

The Sabres and Senators rosters are both better than the Flyers. The Flyers haven't done squat in 14 years.

Yeah, been hearing that for 5 years now and they both still suck. You want a 10 year rebuild and don't want the Russian to come over this summer. What do you know?

I know more than you obviously. You don't get it. They've already been rebuilding for 10 years. LOL. There is what you want and what it's going to take. Fans like you would rather make the playoffs here and there while never getting anywhere near it then sit through what it takes. Why, because you're dumb. That's what I know.

You call me dumb and yet you still insist that the Flyers shouldn't bring the Russian over this summer if they are able. You are literally the only dumbass on every social media platform that I have been on the past couple of days with this take. Congrats on that!

You are dumb and you just proved it by trying to say that I have insisted that the Flyers shouldn't bring Michkov over. That is not accurate and not my position. Flyers fans as a whole, are not the smartest bunch but you can have your fallacies.

They would have a ton of interest in Farabee. Could the Flyers pull Necas away without getting bent over? Trade would help both teams a lot.
