rekker Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 4 minutes ago, Brocklovich said: The dream scenario would be Hutton / Tanev + Sutter +???? Maybe Jake? But their is no way philly gives up Ghost for so little. The rumoured package from Montreal of Byron + Shaw is better overall for them. Ghost would be a decent add to the blue line though making him & hughes the offensive dmen just means they need to add some grit and the defense looks ok (to me anyway) I just dont see Ghost as the type of D we need to add. Kind of like needing a new vehicle and buying a two door coupe because it was avaible when really you needed an F150. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Horvat is going the other way I want Provorov not Gostibehere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 18 minutes ago, Hutton Wink said: Not sure how many times he has to say "NOT trading young players or picks". Rather stunning the eagerness to trade even just-drafted players, especially ones who are progressing better than their draft position. You cant really trade for a legit top 6 forward or top 4 Dman without giving up a young player or picks with the pieces Canucks currently have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a short list of players he won’t trade unless it is a ridiculous clear win. Horvat, Petterson, Boeser, Hughes Demko, Virtanen, Juolevi, any picks beyond this season including next year’s 1st.... if those assets can be used for a young player under club control who is part of our future... of course he is going to do it. The “untouchable core four” need a dramatic overpayment to consider moving them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher and Vigneault seem to be on the same wave length - the team with a few moves should be ready to compete now. So that is "every other team" thanks for the clarification .

He's not going to trade key prospects and picks unless it's for equivalence, and in Philly's case that's not what they want to begin with. They're trying to take that next step into competitiveness like we are, and that isn't done by shipping out established players for picks and prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 core untouchables in my eyes that benning shouldnt trade petey boeser horvat gaudette virtanen juolevi hughes demko and our 10th pick the rest are all up for grabs. tanev sutter eriksson spooner schaller baertchi markstrom hutton goldobin stecher account for 35 mill in cap if benning unloads a bunch of these guys for picks or a few dif dmen we can also take on 3 vet contracts that expire next yr like marleau callahan mcdonald for picks lightning leafs def can use cap relief we may as well use our massive cap space to aquire more picks and ufa panarin and karlsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young players on ELC who are almost ready to make an impact are very valuable to playoff teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I’m a huge ghost fan. He has a really quick release with his slap shot. to phi: gaudette, Lind, 2nd round pick 2020 to Van: ghost having ghost and hughes would give us a legit puck mover on 2/3 of the D pairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm... do we not need more than one LHD? Or is the plan for Hughes to play 60 minutes a night. If the deal makes sense and makes the team better...pull the trigger.

Dixon Ward Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 2 hours ago, Pears said: Flyers will probably want a RD since they’re weak at that position. Maybe something like Tanev (AV familiarity), Goldobin, Madden, and a 2nd? I would not give up Madden and a 2nd. We can get a FA for free. That is too much for a PMD who is questionable defensively. Remember, there is a reason he is available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mephnick Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Sutter + Hutton + 1st for Ghost Ghost is young and locked in to a good contract. If we drafted a guy as good as Ghost with our 1st we'd be thrilled. You can't overvalue a draft pick that may turn into nothing. Sutter and Hutton give Philly the depth for a run. Then we just hope Gaudette or Madden is for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need RHD and better puckmovers. Ghost is a small RHD who is a good puck mover, but we can sign Edler for a couple of years and give up nothing and he is a better all around d who puts scores some points. I just don't think he is good enough to give away a bunch of hard-fought assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gostisbehere would improve our 5 on 5 and our powerplay drastically. We could have Ghost run the top unit with the big boys and then Hughes can make the second unit a good unit too.
