I don’t like the Flyers as trade partners nearly as much as quite a few posters. I am too risk adverse when it comes to Patrick and I just think he will suffer from concussion related problems and never realize his potential. Voracek makes absolutely no sense as he is 31 and has 5 more years at $8.25M. He is nearly a Decade older than Tkachuk and makes more money than him. Frost, Myers, 1st is the type of return I expect if the Flames are trading Johnny at the deadline of his last season not when he has 2 years left on his deal.
It won’t happen anymore but Konecny is the guy we would need.
I see a Johnny deal being more about tomorrow than right now. Taylor Hall would be signed to change the right now and Johnny is used to ensure someone substantial is coming in a year or two when Tkachuk is needing a new deal.
