PHI: Morin, Filppula, Weise, STL 1st round pick

MTL: Galchenyuk

Value wise I think this is very similar to the Schenn trade but the Flyers role is flipped

Philadelphia gets rid of a NHL ready d-man who speaks French which we all know Montreal likes. He's outgrown the AHL and due to lineup decisions and the amount of young defensemen we have he's wasting his time in the AHL. Filppula is a rental who could potentially be resigned. I believe he would be the second best center on Montreal behind Drouin. Don't believe he'll score as much as Drouin but he'll make up for a good chunk of that this year. I threw I Weise because he was great with Montreal so he could always go back there and do good. Not much risk there. And then the first round pick to make up the difference. Getting rid of two forwards and getting one back not only lessens the log jam but they get more talented

As for Montreal, they are getting rid of a guy who is performing to their expectations but who is still young and has potential. They'll be improving their defense. Not really smart to get rid of offense when they need it but they are getting a little bit of offense in return

Overall, I wouldn't want Philly to get rid of Morin since he's really different than their other young d-men. I also don't think Montreal should give up on Galchenyuk right away. But I wanted to take a crack at it anyways

@MTL4LIFE I totally get you disagreeing with the proposal because everybody has their opinion. I've been wrong in the past, will be wrong in the future and could very well be wrong now. But I just feel the need to correct your reasoning. First off, I'm hoping you meant something else, but the Flyers did not receive the best player in the Schenn deal.

He is better than Lehtera and will most likely be better than the individual first round picks. Secondly Morin isn't an AHL player. He's NHL ready, everybody says it, look it up if you want. He's just blocked by the other young defensemen Philly has. You don't want him sitting in the press box thus the reason they sent him down. Saying he's an AHLer is like me calling Galchenyuk a 4th liner because he was on it last game. You were 100% correct about the first round pick.

IMO you were 50% correct about the other 2. Weise is a cap dump but the destination is key. The only place he did good in was Montreal. Maybe it's a team thing. But if you have no interest in taking a chance on him it's very understandable. As for Filppula I wouldn't call him a cap dump. I believe he got like 42 points last year. Would have got a couple more if he played every game.

For 5 mil, it could be an overpayment but far from a cap dump. Galchenyuk got 44 points last year (I think) but was on pace for 59, which is better but not exactly blowing Filppula out of the waters. Filppula also adds a two way game though. Besides, it's not like Chuky is lighting the lamp this year. 1 goal to Filppula's 3.

Not saying he's the worse player but just try not to use the term cap dump as loosely. Especially considering he has 1 year left and could be resigned for cheaper. But everybody has their opinion so I'll leave it at that.

Mtl4life how did the flyers get the best player in the schenn trade? Please, elaborate. i don't know why montreals so offended from this offer, galchenyuk isn't worth a 1st alone.

got his ass whooped there LOL

Not a bad trade, if the habs believe that morin can become a good d for them then it would be worth it, filp is a good player who as you said is a rental, so that 5 mil won't be a problem, weise was great for the habs, if they want to take a chance on a guy i say he'd be the one. AND a first, just saw that. yeah this is definitely a fair deal. Good going Flyers!
