Gaudreau has put up better offensive numbers than Konecny, but he’s much worse without the puck. And he’s three years older. Going forward, I doubt the gap in production between the two will be huge, and Konecny will continue to be the more rounded player.
The Flyers already have Giroux, JVR, and Farabee at LW, while their next best RW after Konecny is 31 year old, declining Voracek.
As a casual fan of the Flyers, it’s not that obvious to me that swapping Gaudreau for Konecny makes the Flyers a better team. If the deal is done at all, it will only be because the Flyers are as impatient and desperate as the Flames.
