Thread: My new Thought on the Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Well, on top of what the reports are saying, where Dean has never once been mentioned, it makes no sense for the Blues to trade Dean in an overpay. But actually, I wasn't saying definitely as in this is an established fact. I was saying it as in hey dude, you definitely need to take him out of the deal.




Where are these "some reports"? I've seen exactly nothing that says any of what you claim to have seen or heard. The latest report says Sanheim may not even be part of the deal, so I have no idea where you got the idea two STL 1sts or a 1st AND an A- prospect were ever in play.</div></div>

Sadly I have glued to my phone since the initial tweet from Strickland hit this afternoon. Between him and Rutherford for the Blues and Sanfilippo and Di Marco for the Flyers the beat guys were tweeting new stuff every 15 mins or so for a while with several different names, picks, prospects.

Thread: My new Thought on the Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jwg314</b></div><div>Why do you guys keep adding more unnecessary pieces to the trade? It’s pretty straightforward what the deal has become, it’s just not finalized because Krug doesn’t want to go to Philly. They can have Brown because we’re not keeping him, but Dean Sanorukov and the 2nd shouldn’t be added. Also, they’re retaining more than that on Hayes.</div></div>

There is nothing straight forward about the deal other than Hayes, Sanheim, a first from St. Louis and Krug needing to get sent to a 3rd team. Multiple players beside them were brought up. Sone reports said two first from St. Louis, some said a first and prospect, etc. Until the deal is finalized and reported in full without a bunch of speculation its impossible to say the deal is a relative known.

Thread: Playoffs or bust
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>badoob</b></div><div>Brierre is going to be kicking rocks when he realises that "first for Laughton" deal was a once in a lifetime overpayment for a 3rd liner that likely doesn't get offered again.
One of the picks involved here is the 15thOA. This is a fine payment for Konecny. Flyers fans need to come down to Earth.</div></div>
I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell everyone who just runs their mouth without considering any facts, do your homework.

Kevin Fiala just went for a true A level prospect in Brock Faber and the 19th overall pick. He was also a RFA who didn't re-sign in Minnesota and was being actively shopped. The Flyers don't need to trade Konecny and aren't selling players for pennies on the dollar just because they are rebuilding. Konecny goes for a similar deal that Fiala trade AT MINIMUM or they keep him for now. So if you honestly think 15 is going to be enough to get Konecny you are 100% wrong. 15 and a future 1st is not even as good as what Minnesota got for Fiala.

As for Laughton, you were wrong before you even started running your mouth. Fletcher was offered a first at the deadline two years ago and turned it down to re-sign Laughton. So the Flyers have been offered a first or a first plus for Laughton on more than one occassion. So your once in a lifetime hyperbole crap is factually incorrect. Second, and this is where you really need to do some research and quit exposing yourself for being a fake NHL fan, players as good, slightly better, or even slightly worse than Laughton go for a 1st round pick and more all of the time. Quite often they are even pending UFA's and end up being rentals where as anyone trading for Laughton is getting him for three years at a fair price.

So, to summarize all of the real information I just put out there, you are factually incorrect, have zero clue what you are talking about when it comes to the Flyers, and your offer is total junk that Briere would never accept. Have a nice day.
