Of course it is part of it which is why saying that Desjardins and LeClair weren't what they became at the time of the trade didn't add up. Now we can get back to the reality of it and the point I was making. The odds of duplicating a trade of that outcome by trading Marner is highly unlikely.

They weren’t what they became at the time of the trade. It does add up. The whole point is that a team can be better off trading the better player.

Chychrun for Sanheim straight up. Flyers then flip Chychrun at some point this season for additional asset(s). Discuss

LOL, you act like you had the scoop. Just something you heard from the media and parroted.

How many times does he start with “you heard it from me”

The ego.

Unless you’re obviously joking or a complete ass, you don’t start sentences this way. Everyone will immediately turn on you.

Does anyone honestly expect the Flyers to trade up tomorrow? To make a hockey trade between today and Saturday? Or are the odds more likely to be they make their picks, make a couple minor trades like swapping 2nds and 4ths? Are expectations high or low as far as the excitement level goes?

They can but it's doubtful that trade is out there for the Leafs in trading an elite player in Marner. It's most likely a losing proposition and throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Sounds great for the Flyers but why would Ottawa, who are trying to create cap space, trade for a guy with an even bigger cap hit and term?
