Michkov's game kind of reminds me of Peter Forsberg's game albeit a less physical player than Forsberg. I'll say 20 goals and 30 assists would be a good first season for him. Gonna be interesting to see how he and Luchanko handle the more physical regular season games.

My god. That would be great if it comes to pass that he’s remotely like foppa. I’m going into the season with an open mind about Jett. Hope he proves me wrong but I think keeping him up is a stretch. 9 games isn’t the end of the world though.

Stolarz is actually a pretty decent goalie.
- WhiskeyMan


Yes. I agree. He’s not bad and probably the best option For the leafs. It’s a real
Opportunity for him seeing that woll can’t stay healthy.

As long as they don't Sbisa him... burn the year, play him out of position and then send him down mid-season lol.

Set all that aside for a minute... the trade is an overpaid 32-yo redundant underperforming bottom-six forward for a skilled mobile, puck-moving 25-yo RHD of the same cap hit.

Fit be damned, I'm making that swap, especially when I have Cates otherwise literally sitting in the pressbox opening night.

Not talking about trading a high pick or some major piece of the puzzle for the guy... we're talking about Scott (frank)ing Laughton here.

As you said earlier not going to be traded.

Also wasn’t he a scratch for the leafs last night? Or is he hurt?

Yeah. That I am not for. If there’s any doubt send him back and let him play at wjc u20 etc.

Was scratched. For some reason they like Connor Timmins better than him. Leafs gonna Leaf.

Could be a nice buy low opportunity for someone.

And yeah, it won't be the Flyers.

It was a joke but I could see them pushing him over to the wing or something.

(then again, only having 6D available on the road trip... who knows )

Also move Risto to wing and put Seeler in goal and we might have something

LOL if they stuck to the actual canon the trooper would have been destroyed as soon as the anomaly was detected.

Also Briere comes across as very weak. Hilferty pushing the team/culture initiative like he is leading a group of office workers.

Very entertaining.

IF the Flyers managed to trade Ristolainen, this is called hypothetical and I don't care if you don't think it would happen.

Sanheim-
York-Drysdale
Zamula-Seeler
Johnson

Here's a healthy defense core, who would YOU want the Flyers to target realistically to slot in the top 4?

No they are not going to get Makar or Hughes.

Are you seriously saying that "The Room" alone is not enough to get one of those two defensemen? What is wrong with you? The leadership alone is worth 2 firsts in THE SAME DRAFT!!

What veteran #3 defenseman on the downside is available? Start there. Then the Flyers will pass said player off as a top pair guy.

Would Columbus move Werenski?

Unless Columbus does a complete re-start (not even a rebuild), I doubt it. I see Provy being available

Columbus os very far away from contention. Don’t see them doing much while he is under contract. In time I think they have to explore moving on.

Provorov would be an upgrade to the top 4.
