HKSR Posted June 3 Posted June 3 (edited) TRADE 1 To PHI Conor Garland To VAN Helge Grans 2nd Round Pick (CLB - 36OA) Angry Elf is gone!! But we traded him at his highest value. We acquire pieces to flip for the blockbuster below. TRADE 2 To FLA Helge Grans 2nd Round Pick (CLB - 36OA) 1st Round Pick (VAN) To VAN Aaron Ekblad ($1M retained by FLA for the last year of his contract) Transforming our D core to an elite Top 4. TRADE 3 involves moving Mikheyev for a bag of pucks with whatever means possible. Suter-Miller-Boeser Hoglander-Lindholm-Pettersson Podkolzin-Blueger-Joshua PDG-Aman-Karlsson I feel like Podkolzin would learn a lot playing with Joshua on a regular basis. Hughes-Hronek Zadorov-Ekblad Soucy-Juulsen Look at that top 4 group! @Elias Pettersson I guess we'd both have to change our avatars here Edited June 3 by HKSR 2 Quote
Reg Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Thought we already had traded away our next 2 first round picks. Quote

Elias Pettersson Posted June 3 Posted June 3 @HKSR Believe it or not, Garland is my boy now. I don’t actually want to trade him. I’m totally happy with buying out Mikheyev so I don’t have to change my avatar. I don’t think Philly would be interested in Garland. If we do go after Ekblad, then I’d want to trade Hronek to get a top 6 forward. IMO, Willander will be on the team in 2025. Quote
Fen1010 Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Why would Philly do this? They are rebuilding, trading away a top D prospect and a draft pick seems counter productive for them. Quote
higgyfan Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Other than acquiring Ekblad (which makes an expensive, but very good defense), I don't see any changes in the top 6. The bottom 6 looks weaker (Podz has not proven himself as a 3rd liner) and Karlsson has only played in 6 NHL games. Maybe switch PDG with Podz, but then you have a 4th line with little NHL experience. I really want to see a tougher top 6, with more offensive upside than what we saw in the playoffs. Especially if the team is going to lose the secondary scoring on the 3rd line. Quote

I agree, I don't think PHI do this trade. They already have 13 forwards signed, only have $6.7m in cap space next season and need to add 3 Dmen. Don't see them trading a young Dman + a pick in exchange for a forward. Quote
