Taylor Hall being traded to CAR. Trades are hard, folks. Tough to give up talent. Wait now Rantanen going to CAR, what the heck is going on.

Trades aren’t hard. It’s excuse used by the ballless and clueless gm’s

Well, CAR upping in the ante in the East. Flyers have a bunch of role players that should be available. I have no idea what path Briere is trying to navigate.

Danny doesn’t even know.

So Rantanen traded. Was weak scared GMDB even in on an elite player in his prime? I doubt it.

Fedotov doing his part to help the team get a higher draft pick- absolutely brutal goaltending. Luckily, the GM likes his roster too much to move anyone out.

We shouldnt be on Rantanen. Hes 28 years old. Even Pettersson at 26 may not fit our timeline.

The Flyers do not have the players Carolina gave up, specifically a 1C.

According to Bob Mckenzie mid season draft ranking has Ivan Ryabkin at 19

So there a possible number 1 center later in the draft
Beginning of the year he was top 5

Also if we picking say 14th then he will be available if Mckenzie is correct

Actually, does it even matter anymore at this point? The Flyers front office is a dumpster fire. They don’t know what they’re doing.

Yea The Flyers probably have to move TK to Rantanen and at the point theres no real point to doing it.

CAR is moving Kotkaneimi and Necas to get Rantanen. Seems risky on CARs end as hes a UFA. If Avs added a C does that mean Mittlestadt is on the move now?

Just wait till Briere goes and tries to fix the goaltending problem by trading for John Gibson. Fedotov plus other assets. ANA moves a tough contract and Fedotov is completely off the books after next season- plus gets more assets.

What is the Flyers timeline? Do they even know?

Agree they shouldn’t as he is a free agent to boot.

All I know is this could put Colorado out in the 1st rd in the playoffs keeping that pick in a better spot for us

Well what’s that tell ya?

The Flyers’ front office has no talent to even trade. Also tells you that these draft picks aren’t worth that much either. Please bro, please stop blindly defending this dumpster fire of a front office.

Really wake up

We have 6 picks in the top 2 rds, and 3 in the first rd and all we need is 1 to hit as a number 1 center

We have some upcoming talent on its way next season or season afterwards and players coming off the books

Yes we have players who we need to get rid of but it's not as bad as you make it out.

You sound like chicken little the sky is falling

I think Mittlestadt has to be on the move. Colorado now has two top centers. I would think Carolina had to discuss contract with Rantanen's agent before making the deal, otherwise I think they are crazy.

Possible, Jack Drury is part of the trade- bottom six center.

Unlike you I have zero faith they can draft a top end center where they will pick.

They have a lot of upcoming middling talent. One would think it would look a lot better after missing the playoffs the last 4 years.

Carolina traded a 1C and a combined 78pts for a great winger with 64pts. Plus add the chance that Rananten walks, and this seems like a very risky trade to me. Ballsy, but risky also.
