Thread: Flyers Actually Rebuilding
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Body_by_Gritty</b></div><div>I respectfully disagree, I think Danny B would take this without a 4th, despite Torts losing his mind. If they’re actually committed to rebuilding you sell 29 yo Laughton while people are still willing to overpay for him. The additional pieces are needed as 11 is not a late first and honestly probably wouldn’t even be enough.

Additionally Philly will currently be over the cap next year and will need to shed salary - likely a Atkinson buyout - however if you can free up $3-5mil and get great value back for the rebuild, open up slots for developing players and not have to buyout Atkinson it’d be a huge win imo</div></div>

We actually won’t be over the cap hit. Ryan Ellis is a leach similar to Carey Price who is on LTIR and instead of retiring continues to remain on the team. I understand what you are saying though. I just don’t know if Danny Briere would give up these batch of player for anything less than a first with a higher draft pick or prospect attached.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DumbHockeyTrades</b></div><div>you get rid of the 2nd line player and a middle 6c for an elite first liner, you do it</div></div>

Travis Konecny has 68 points in 76 games. Marner has 85 points in 69 games. Konecny has had Morgan Frost as his center, and sometimes even Ryan Poehling! Marner plays with either Nylander, Tavares, or Auston Matthews. Each of those guys is an elite caliber player. Even though TK plays with bad players, he continues to put up impressive stats. He is a terrific penalty killer who led the NHL with 6 shorthanded goals. Marner had a shorthanded goal this season. I am not saying Konecny is better than Marner, but he is no second liner. He is a star, who plays both on the Power Play and penalty kill. Morgan Frost is a middle six player though. You are correct there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>PHI says no, maybe Koneckny (at 5.5mil for 2 yrs) and a early 2nd AND 6mil in cap space though might be enough....

But PHI doesn;t want a smallish RW who almost all Leaf fans want to get rid of for equal value. (and chances of Marner resigning for a pretty minimal raise in a new city are pretty minimal)

PHI needs C's and a top 4 dman, who aren;t old, and therefore probably not good trade partners.

And I doubt Liljegren takes a 275k raise, or those UFAs signing cheap to a team that annually disappoints, or 2 goalies that have never played 35 games in a season will work and you;'re over the cap anyways</div></div>

Agreed! But Marner also wouldn’t work well with Tortorella! Marner’s but would be benched for the majority of the season if he let players just skate past him like Pasternak did! Marner does not fit into the Flyers two-way scheme, and Morgan Frost is a center, which is a position we need.
