<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>glarson17</b></div><div>Philly almost made the playoffs, sharks were the wirst team in the league, maybe Philly tires to make the playoffs next season and cap space helps that. Sharks are 4-5 years to be at that point</div></div>

"We're still going to respect that timeline that we've put in place. That hasn't changed. If there's a trade that makes sense that can bring more talent, and there's a way that makes sense. Maybe it's a hockey trade. "

"I still am not quite there as far as saying that we're a contender," he admitted. "I don’t believe we’re at the point where it’s time to let some young assets go to try to get better, quicker. We're not there yet. - GM Danny Briere

And he also said they're not going to throw lot of money at a free agent to come in.

So no, they're not going to trade futures for cap space that they don't need.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dom1422</b></div><div>Yeah they fixed him by barely playing him. He went from 23 minutes a game in Buffalo to 15 in Philly on the 3rd pairing. You guys probably would’ve gotten a 4th with retention at the deadline. He’s a negative asset. Btw in this deal you guys also get a younger quality bottom pairing right shot defenseman at a very low cap hit and a 3rd.

As far as wingers go, I have a feeling you guys will trade a few of those away including Konecny. I know you guys surprised this year but don’t forget it’s still a rebuid. Anderson isn’t supposed to be helping you win, but he would add vital leadership that will go out the door this is season, and that you no longer have in Couturier. Someone who trusts Torts and who will relay his message. You might not like it, but I could see it being a real option.</div></div>

Oh I know they're rebuilding, sometimes it even feels that I'm pretty much the only one on this site who gets it. Even if they move some wingers, there are also prospects in line waiting for their turn.

And for Risto, yes they reduced his ice time and made him shutdown D, who averaged 16:40 with injuries this season. And that role change has been the working concept for him. I just don't get what makes you think Anderson brings leadership and is a guy who trusts Torts compared to Risto. Risto even said that he wishes he had Torts as his coach when he entered NHL.

Big physical RHD will always have some value. And I believe they would rather keep him and get his value higher, than acquire even more expensive 4th liner. They ain't trading the better player for more expensive, worse player just to lose some games more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dom1422</b></div><div>That’s like me saying Risto kills the deal.. A bottom pairing Dman at 5 mill? That’s no better than a bottom 6 winger making 5 mill. Risto is untradeable, like Anderson. Both are equally bad deals, but Anderson under Torts will be rejuvenated so Flyers will end up with the better player. Either way it’s two rebuilding teams moving players who don’t fit the team they’re on, with basically the same contracts. Anderson will fit Torts system better than Marty’s and Risto will fit Marty’s better than Torts’.</div></div>

Risto has actually been good for the last season and half. Shaw and Torts have actually fixed his playing. And we already have logjam on wings. Risto is also actually also tradeable, there were rumors of contenders interested of him (with like 1,6M retention), but he got injured. You can't say the same about Anderson.
