Phil_314 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Not Philly-specific, but I really hope that management can smarten up and move guys like Beauvillier and Myers as pending UFA assets to contenders instead of dumping longer-term contracts that they signed themselves. Let that big bucks fall off the books elsewhere (or do Pearson for DeSmith type trades) instead of straight cap dumps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL buyout, Dickinson, etc. They've been forced to pay quite the price in order to try to re-balance the roster so far. Management should feel forced or heavily influenced into the situation you are hoping for. Don't think Garland is a Canuck at this point if other moves weren't made. I'm hopeful so also biased, but could speak to them having that approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Will never be worth the cost of trading him so we might as well keep him. I'd part with a 3rd, that's it, or take a bit of bad cap backwards but even then, he's better than most 5M cap dump players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I mean if they want new Beau for free to be able to flip him at the TDL? sure. But burning more significant draft assets doesn't make sense for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Eg. Garnet Hathaway) Flyers GM Briere was a small player…perhaps he sees value despite Garland’s stature Frankly I would do this swap. Gets us out from under that money earlier and we free up cap for the next two years that Garnet's signed, and we add another big physical guy while they can add more skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Garland's agent: Philly is willing to take on my client. Allvin: Yes, we already know this, but we're not adding valuable sweeteners to do that. Try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Philly willing to take on contracts. That's great. But it always comes at a cost doesn't it? And what is the cost that Philly would be asking for? Probably our 2024 1st round pick. And with no promise that we will make it to the postseason, no way am I trading that 1st. If we miss the postseason again, that 1st would be extremely valuable to us, and we wouldn't have it, cause it would be Philly's now. No thanks. To me, that's not a gamble worth taking.

Popular Post RWJC Posted October 11, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) People are going think I’m nuts but I’d ship Garland (no salary retained), Rathbone and a 1st round pick to MTL for Arber Xhekaj and Michael Pezzetta. I would love to have a guy like Xhekaj on this team for the next decade in our D rotation. He just stood up to Ryan Reaves after a cheap shot hit to his D partner, and although it wasn’t much of a scrap, he manhandled Reaves a bit which was quite impressive.

Armia’s a bad cap hit though for this and next season. Defeats the purpose of any trade between us and them unless it’s a 1 for 1, but again, solves no problem for us other than to save 1 mill per and for less of a player then we gave up.

No thanks First of all, I doubt Philly would trade their 1st rounder for Garland. However, if they were willing, yes please! Think about it. Philly's supposed to be a tire fire this year. That's highly likely to be a top 10 pick, maybe even top 5. However, for those same reasons, Philly would probably say no as I said. lol Edited October 12, 2023 by The Lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no way should we pay that price, hell even a 2nd to offload Garland. Unless it's a damn good RD coming back. But yeah I did not mean us get a first..

Garland's not even on a bad contract really. He just needs the right location to shine in my opinion. I'll go misread something elsewhere now. lol Edited October 12, 2023 by The Lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
