2023-24 Roster Thread #9: Spring time is upon us

[FlyerNutter]

Need a coach who brings out Marner’s best, not tries to turn him into Marchand. Which is what this org would do.

Even if they waited until he was a FA, the return on the asset investment will likely not live up to the contract.

Seems likely that what’s being built here is something similar to that of the Wild. Kaprizov, and a bunch of generally meh around him.

Giroux was a dominant player in his younger years, is it realistic to even expect that from Matvei?

Will they be able to find the “new” versions of Couturier, Jake, and Ghost?

they can't find their way out of a wet paper bag

trade couts for marner. trade marner at the deadline. let couts be a ltir deadline and playoff show pony for tml. win win win win.

Now that’s certainly an idea doubt TML does it due to the term but that’d be dope

Marner is 27. He's someone you only consider bringing in when you're on the verge of contending and missing that final piece, not when you're building towards it.

By the team we're contending, he'll be a 30+ year old 2nd line winger while being the highest paid player on the team.

I’m a Marner fan but full agree here. Same reason I don’t want them giving TK a bag if Michkov doesn’t come over this summer

Either way they'll spend the money I fully expect some dumb decisions.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Theres going to be interest in guys like Laughton, Hathaway, Risto, and Seeler this summer from teams like Toronto who think they need to build a more "playoff" type teams. This would be a great oppurtunity for Danny to start winning many of us over my showing hes willing to go against the flyers norm of valuing replacable guys like these over the important assets they can return.

Those assets, plus what TK could return, they could position themselves to go after a Marner, Zegras, or Brady Tkachuk if theyre indeed available.

 

[Curufinwe]

Risto literally has zero record of playoff participation, let alone success. And is coming off major surgery.

 

[Rodu58]

but Risto is built for playoff hockey, according to him
