CoachX Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 seriously, what is the market for TDA in the off season? Seems like keeping him until the deadline would raise his value, assuming he played well. But given his attitude, he would probably act like a little bytch til then. I'd ask for a 2nd and settle for a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I don't think you're getting anything for him unless he plays well leading up to the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 32 thoughts came up with a great phrase on Briere that I think we can use as a nickname if he keeps making deals like this. Big Brass Balls Briere. So from now on feel free to refer to him as 4B or 3B Briere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 HNIC saying Briere's getting lots of interest in Laughton. How do people feel about moving him? Not my first choice to move, but wouldn't bother me if we got a good return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 I hope the plan is to walk away from Lemieux and Bellows. They need to make room for some more kids i want Desnoyers Foerster and Brink on the Flyers next year. Someone needs to go...free up the money...but more about space than cap space. I feel Danny is going to be smart and at least weaponize the cap space towards the deadline well next season. Purge get as young as you can let them learn on the job for the year. There will be blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats Danny B's conundrum. Is his value going to increase with Torts in the picture? Probably not. I think you risk everyone's worth with Torts around. The guy is a car bomb waiting to go off. I didn't watch enough to see if anyone got better last year. As much as people had a hate for Mike Keenan, everyone who played for him was better for it, even if they disliked him. Not sure if Torts brings that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider him overly valuable and definitely not essential, but I don't hate him. Don't want him as a piece of a core moving forward either though. Right now I only hate Hayes. I have disdain for Risto. and I'd prefer DeAngelo gone but he's gone in a year regardless so maybe he's best to be held on to and dealt at the next deadline when teams seem to go crazy for D depth heading into the playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched them a fair bit this year and they have enough grit and play an up tempo game. He's too expensive for 4C which is where they'd want him. Sabres (again) could use a gritty 3C. I keep mentioning them because they have a LOT of draft capital and an overflowing prospect pool full of promising forwards. Hart AND Laughton in a big deal? Might make sense for both teams. Maybe Winnipeg if they move Du Bois. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bold: Yes, but I wouldn't expect a ton of prospects or even one high-end prospects for an overpriced maybe 3C. He's still better on wing, but you're not getting a top prospect. IMO he actually has more value on a rebuilding club like the Flyers than he does on a team looking to take the next step. the Hart part. I don't think the Sabres are in the goalie market, and certainly not for a goalie with average stats and the last year before his RFA when they have Luukkonen and Levi--who is pretty good--waiting in the wings. They're set. I don't see them as a goalie buyer. And certainly not for #13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
