Shayne Gostisbehere deserves another chance

A 60-point season, a large contract and a power play specialist walks into a bar.

Well it will be interesting to see how the defense stacks up this season, I just hope were not behind the 8 ball on trying to plug a hole all season.

Unless we make a big trade our defense wont be stacking up to well.

2018-19 Brayden Schenn won the cup
2019-2020 Luke Schenn won the cup.

At this point it doesn't have to be huge. I just want at least 1 physical guy who plays great D and can play against other top lines. I think we have enough offense from the back end. At this point Savard looks like our best option but I don't see Columbus doing that.

Travis Hamonic fits a role of a solid defense first player but he didn't want to come to Philly

Well if he don't want to come to Philly and get his name on a cup then I guess fuck em lol.

 

[lasgop8]

I still think we need scoring depth.
That was our issue in the playoffs.

This is true. Scoring depth and defense were two big issues.

Im starting to think we may be in on Laine

I really truly hope not. I think he would cost us too many important pieces at this point. I mean what would you be willing to part with? Ghost would just be a starter. Somewhere I heard this was a deal that would involve sending Konecny their way to.

Maine would be pretty expensive contract wise and not too mention like you said, TK? I love Laine, but shi t not at what the cost would be. If rather go all in on Elias Pettersen. Lol, not happening.

That would be nice but at what cost?

Man that would be tough to lose TK. Think they may go for a Ghost and JVR swap for Laine.

I like Pettersson and his offense but he is really small.

I doubt it but it would be sweet if they did.

Patrick accepted his qualifying offer. 1 yr - 874k. Could be a huge steal if he plays next season. Only Myers remains unsigned now.

I'm asking the same thing here..

Something doesn’t make sense about the Flyers' risky (but exciting) defensive group | Sam Carchidi

Will adding puck-moving defenseman Erik Gustafsson help the Flyers replace the retired Matt Niskanen, or is another move in the works?

I still believe Ghost will be traded, or at least that the Flyers are doing everything they can to trade him.

Agreed. I expect to be sad when it happens too, because I don't think the return is going to be anything special.

With the cap situation of most teams, 4.5M is too big of a hit to take a flier on a guy rediscovering his game.
