[Flyers Clips] Friedman on PHI/CBJ/#4 via 32 Thoughts: “Columbus wanted something big. The #12, the 32nd pick, and Colorado’s 1st next year, and what I heard was that was too much for Philly. BUT, the two teams were expected to speak again, today, (Friday).

Friedman also says in the clip that teams believe that CBJ “is motivated to do something big” and “would like to make a splash.” So that indicates that this isn’t the normal phony “We might trade down” rumors we hear every draft.
For me, if the price to trade up with #12 and get Demidov is only two late first round picks (Florida and Colorado’s), you 100% pull the trigger. We can recoup extra 1sts in a Laughton trade or even a TK trade. (Acquiring Demidov would absolutely change the long-term need for TK)
If my time running franchises in EA has taught me anything it’s that this is a slam dunk no brainer of a move.
But in all seriousness love that Danny is trying to move up and I think this is pretty reasonable an ask
I didn’t see you also posted this haha. I even refreshed before posting mine. My bad!
We agree on it tho. Go get that 4th pick, Danny!
