Laddie Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 What would it take to get Travis Konecny and Sean Walker out of Philadelphia. Walker is a free agent at the end of the year and Konecny has one year left on his deal at 5.5M. Having Konecny on Pettersson's right wing and Walker playing the right side on our second pairing really helps to improve our overall lineup. Philadelphia is looking for futures so is there a deal to be made which includes Kuzmenko, Garland and Prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Imo, Konecny is the ideal player alongside Pete. Unfortunately, the Flyers are still engaged in a battle to make the playoffs, so they will hang onto Travis for now. Some of their youngins are looking like NHL players, but other than that and Konecny, only Couturier and Laughton are the top players. Maybe if they start sliding down in the final the stretch, they might start looking at some trades for young prospects and picks. Funny, I think they would want Garland over Kuzy, but they would still want a very good package coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laddie Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 I also don't mind Sean Walker. I think he is a reliable right handed defensemen on an expiring contract that could really help solidify our d-core. He isn't flashy but plays a solid, physical game.

Phil_314 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Down for Konecny (equal dollar value as Kuzmenko, and he brings an energy game, though for that and his productivity we probably add), or if he's available I'd trade for Owen Tippett (he's got the size, speed and shot that would add a needed element). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 if Philly traded Konecny for Kuzmenko I think Torts would quit 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Konecny is having a massive year, PPG, loads of goals and a +10, no way we're getting him unless we traded Boeser. Kuzmenko's value is an all-time low and Konecny an all-time high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the rationale behind it, different types of players, sure...but Boeser is one of the best goal scorers in the league right now. You could argue he's number 2 behind Matthews and we're almost at the half-way point of the season with no signs of slowing down. He's only 26 so you never know, could just get better and better. I know Konecny plays a bit harder and grittier but Boeser is almost scoring at the same rate as Petey. Imagine if he continues this and ends up being a what...50 goal scorer, 90-100pt player at just 26 on a 6.6M deal. I remember in the off-season predictions, I predicted Brock to break out and score 40-50G. Obviously it was a long shot and obviously got ridiculed for it but now to think that he's well on pace to do that is insane. We really shouldn't trade pure offensive scoring talent for a PPG who brings a bit of grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will fall back down to earth next season. Konecny is a prototypical Tocchet type player. Tocchet would wet his pants if we got him. Not even sure Philly makes that deal. Konecny is a perfect player to have for the playoffs. If Boeser wants $9 million on his next contract after he hits 50 goals this year, then 100% I would trade him for Konecny...
