I really don't get your arguments at all...
Argument 1: Flyer shouldn't trade multiple assets for a top offensive talent, because he wont win them a championship. ok. we know. who is actually thinking they are championship team?
Argument 2: No team (specifically CHI) will take JVR. hmmm, well last year no tam would take Voracek. However, the Flyers can leverage the #5 to include JVR, or no deal. The biggest dead weight on this team, in terms of talent and cap, is JVR. Having the #5 can definitely get JVR out the door
Argument 3: The team is better off with Provy and TK. sure, just like they were last season. You cant get without giving something
Argument 4: Keep the #5 and draft a guy who will be ready IN TWO YEARS. I'm pretty sure you are convinced CF couldn't find his asss with both hands and a mirror, but you want to trust him with drafting the right guy. JVR and Patrick say hello
You have been a staunch supporter of all the young guys in the system. I can get on board with that. But you don't want to move any of the existing players on the roster. The Flyers have come out and said they need top end talent. Thats an acknowledgement that dont think they have it. You can get it in the draft for sure, if you are good at drafting. But you can also get it by making trades. If you trade a valuable pick, that might possibly be a good player, for a guaranteed already really good player, that makes your team better.
