[Proposal] Retool & competitive


Recommended Posts

Edler + Higgins to Philly for B.Schenn, Morin, 1st/2nd.

- Philly gets a top pair dman and 2nd/3rd

line winger which they can use with all their centres. Nucks get a young centre, top dman prospect and a 2nd/3rd. Chose Schenn over Couturier b/c Schenn is the point producer while Couturier is the defensive specialist. Already have that in Horvat so a offensive centre would be best instead of having 2 redundant players...Schenn has a lot more flash than Sean.

sign Matt Niskanen 4 years, $4.5 mill per.

- 27 years of age in his prime, solid dman and a great replacement for Edler.

resign Kassian 3 years $1.5 mill per, Tanev 5 years $2.5-$3 mill per, Santorelli 3 years $1.5 mill per, Archibald 2 years $800k per, Dalpe 1 year $800, Weber 2 years $800k per.

Santorelli - Schenn - Kesler

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Matthias - Horvat - Kassian

Richardson - Schroeder - Hansen

Dalpe/Archibald

Hamhuis - Tanev

Niskanen - Bieksa

Garrison - Corrado

Stanton - Weber

Lack

Markstrom or veteran backup

Shinkaruk, Jensen, Gaunce, Fox, Molin all playing Utica and developing.

I think we're overpaying. Higgins is a pretty underrated consistent player on a great contract.

If he's in the deal I think it should be a 1st round pick.

If they really want edler then no less than B Schenn will do. Throwing in Higgins to gain the rest of that package isn't a good move for us IMO. Even through our rough patch this year Higgins has played pretty well. He's one of the last guys I'd want to get rid of if we're to make a rebound next year.

So let's pretend edler is willing to waive after this season. Why not just go Edler Schenn straight up or close to it? Edler's inconsistencies and schenns age balance the deal IMO. Don't need to hit a home run package for edler but a young star in the making could be a good thing to move forward with. Win win and no one gets fleeced.

If it happens to be that they're just salivating over Higgins, they can part with a first round pick for him. Otherwise we got no reason to trade the only guy who's shown up for games during the worst collapse in years for us.

Exactly. If Higgins is going to go MG better get full value for him, he's one of our top guys this season.

Yeah I don't want Schenn so bad I'm willing to cough up 2 good roster players signed below market value with term for him and a guy that may never make the show.... If morin was someone blue chip like Griffin Reinhart, now your talkin. But he's just not in that class.

I still think edler for him straight is us overpaying as well. Would be sick to get a deal like

Edler 2nd

Schenn 1st

Gives us 2 firsts to work with this year and hopefully at least mid range with philly. You could take a guy like Fleury with our first pick and take a chance on a Ho Sang or Ehlers with the second. After you safely boosted the youth pool with Schenn, you can go afford to take the chance on a huge payoff kid like Ho Sang.

Added Higgins to free up a roster spot for the other youngsters. Jensen isn't even on the roster cause it's so packed so with Higgins, another youngster wouldn't be on it. But yea, can adjust the pick to a 1st possibly depending on how much we can get Philly to buy into the deal.

Higgins is a left winger our prospects are better on the right(Kassian Jensen grenier). I'd see us keeping higgy and trading Hansen if anything, unless shinkaruk is completely ready.

I get what your saying though, we have burrows Higgins Hansen all holding top six jobs. Kassian Jensen waiting to get it there. A major surprise in Santorelli, how do you not resign him. Also just added Matthias.

MG has some tough decisions to make. Ideally the kids just take their jobs and push em into a completely stacked bottom six but it hasn't happened yet. You'll know we got a beauty prospect when he's able to out work alex burrows or Chris Higgins and steal his job haha

From my side I wouldn't give up that much for Edler. Higgins is irrelevant to me. His role would be greatly reduced on the Flyers roster. He won't average 19:22 a game and he won't get 232 shots in a season. Odds are even with Schenn leaving Higgins would be competing with Raffl and Laughton just to get a spot on the top 9.
