[Rumour] 31 Thoughts: "there’s been plenty of groundwork done"

[cannon7]

Patrick's stock has already taken a considerable hit, but it continues to plummet. Don't think any semi-competent GM sees him as a cornerstone of a rebuild at this point.

Offer them Hanafin and you’ll perhaps catch their attention.

I don’t see them as particularly good trade partners, other than both would like to make some trades.

Philly would likely like to trade some older forwards for some defensive help, or perhaps a new goalie. If they could somehow dump Voracek and Giroux and pick up a Tanev and a Markstrom, Philly might be a playoff team. But they’d really like younger versions of Tanev and Markstrom.

Carter Hart says hi? He's been completely terrible this year, but no one should be writing him off.

Pay Seattle to take Voracek / JVR, find a real #1 defenseman with that cap space. I'm optimistic that the team will be fine after that.

I don’t think Philly will ride into next season with Hart as their #1, too risky, he’s been that bad this year. He a great start, but he wouldn’t be the first goalie to disappear after a great start. He does have a decent pedigree though, so his odds of a recovery are not bad.

Let me know where that #1 dman store is, I’d like to get a couple for the Flames too. Maybe get a discount for a bulk buy. Is it next to the #1 centre store at the Mall? We need to stop in there too.

Flyers LW:

Farabee

Where does Gaudreau fit? The Flyers don’t have problems at forward, they desperately need an upgrade on defence, especially RD. Are the Flames going to move Tanev or Anderson?

End of the day when we looked at the Hurricanes depth chart I didn’t see an immediate need or fit for Hamilton but that was a team looking to make a shakeup deal.

I always thought when Philly overpaid in term and money to bring Kevin Hayes in it was with a thought he could help lure the hometown superstar to the Flyers eventually.

Who knows JVR could be a Seattle player or could be part of the return to Calgary? The same as Farabee

He's still only 22 but then again we went through that with Bennett always hoping that next year he would come around. The reality is that top 5 picks bust all the time and it's a matter of coming to terms with that and accepting the player for what he is as a bottom 6 player or trade him while he still has value and move on.

Hart is the number 1, and future number 1 tendy on philly. They need a strong backup or 1b due to his age.

Tons of good options to pair with Hart (in no particular order): Rittich, Rask, Halak, Andersen, Rinne, Reimer, Raanta, Mrazek, Ullmark, Grubauer, Driedger, Dubnyk.

One of the older guys probably makes sense, but Rittich or Driedger might go for a show-me deal. I wonder if BOS goes hard for Driedger?

Hamilton could be a UFA. Otherwise I've long suspected they might spend a big package on Seth Jones, or Parayko or Pulock.

CAR has always been pretty stacked at LD, and evidently they didn't want to commit to Faulk as their RHD anchor.

Maybe a good landing spot for Rittich?

Only if he thinks he can steal a number one spot.
