Our power play could use a legitimate sniper but have to be careful about over compensating for a one dimensional, streaky player

Cam York is someone we can build around!

In reply to Dave.

I wasn’t saying Sergachev was a like for like replacement for Pronger. He’s only 22 and he lets everyone else slot in a better place. My point was we keep jerking around on the margins in free agency and trades for D-men since Pronger retired with generally poor results. See, for example, Grossman, Luke Schenn, Streit, MacDonald, Gudas and, most recently, Niskanen and Braun.

So I am arguing to go get a foundational guy we can build around in the future and Sergachev fits that bill for me. If you think he’s just another offensive defenseman and don’t see top pair potential in him, then, well, we’ll see in a another year or two. I see Provovov and Sergachev potentially giving us a top pair that could rival any of the best pairs we’ve seen over the years.

Fletcher will get fleeced if he trades for Laine. Howevever, I would try to trade for Laine by offering Flyers 1st pick in upcoming draft, plus Cam York, Jake Voracek, JVR, and Claude Giroux. If Giroux won’t drop his no movement clause, the whole trade is off and Flyers just buy out the last two years of Giroux’s contract and put him out to pasture.

Sorry but hate this, even if it rids of us JVR and Ghost, our new Lecavalier and MacDonald, respectively. Much rather see them go after a stud D-man than a sniper if cost is no issue. Snipers come to the Flyers to die. Replace Pronger once and for all already and the offense will follow from having the D better locked down. It may be impossible, but I’ve said previously that Sergachev fits that bill. And I would be willing to trade any of our cheap prospects/players to get him (since TB won’t take salary) including Patrick, Farrabee and Morin/Zamula. And if TB were somehow interested in Ghost or even TK in a trade involving Sergachev, I would listen.
