That would depend how much Detroit likes Farabee. He's still young (24) and in an upward progression and like you said cost controlled.

Depends how quick Detroit really wants to take the next step if they would be willing to part with #15 for him. I would hate to see Farabee go, but I feel that would trigger the Flyers to re-sign TK.

I think a lot would depend on who the Flyers pick at 12. If they take Eiserman no need to resign Konecny even with a Farabee trade. Eiserman and Michkov would likely be joining the team at the same time and neither is going to be spending time in the AHL.

Maybe, but the problem I have is I don't like what Ottawa would offer/give. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they give up this years 1st (7th) and most likely the deal would involve either Chabot (injuries @ 8m) or Norris (injuries @ 7.95m)...no thanks. They really don't have anything else that would really help the team.

They gave up the 7th a couple years ago for DeBrincat. I think you put TK together with a few other pieces to try and get that 2024 1st. You have Laughton, Risto, Brink, Farabee, Zamula, Attard, Four 2nds over the next 2 years. There’s gotta be a deal they can make. Chychrun doesn’t seem keen on signing there so they may be looking for defense too.

Just when you think you know this game the Broooooins walk into south Florida and smoke the Cats! Guess that's good cause that would be a slightly higher pick for the Flyers. Playoff Bob is back?

Chabot is owed 30 million over the next 3 yrs of the contract. Not a surprise, OTT who isn't exactly a huge revenue team. As a comparison, Risto owed 16 million over the next 3 yrs. Not suggesting a trade.

When Bill said the Flyers were interested in Chabot. My only response was, "typical".

Another "injury prone, big cap hit, many years left" player. Just what we need.

It’s interesting going back and looking at draft profiles of star players. I was looking at the Dallas players like Robertson who had his skating questioned, Heiskanen had size/weight/physicality concerns. Makar had similar concerns as Heiskanen. Debrincat, Caufield, and Point all dropped because of size concerns. At this point in their draft year Makar and Heiskanen were ranked all over the top 10 and weren’t consensus top 5 picks.
- Schmojo


I have noticed that too. Yet I keep reading Flyer fans stating that most scouts on most teams had Makar, Heiskenen and Petterson above Patrick and that simple is not true.
The race for first overall was between Nico and Nolan. Makar was considered a bit of a reach at #4. By the draft day Heiskenen was expected top 5, but the first overall for the final 5 months of hockey was between Patrick and Nico.

I had read at the time, that Heiskenen was one of the guys the Flyers were considering, but I believe Clarke came out and said what he said as a shot at Hextall. Who would have Clarke pushed for at the time? A not so physical, Finnish blueliner, or the 6'+ Center from Canada?

Revisionist history at it's best.

How many of the first round picks are broccoli heads with names ending in den/don?

rather beat them down and set the example for future rat finks.

I am sure the white house will have a great response to this stuff...

To be fair, if any of us posted our haircuts from when we were teens and thought we were cool, I'm sure we'd all look equally stupid.
