On today’s show, Russ and Rachel discuss the big Trade for the Flyers sending Ivan Provorov to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a three team deal that included sending Kevin Connauton & Hayden Hodgson to the LA Kings, and getting the 22nd overall pick from the Blue Jackets by way of those same LA Kings. The Flyers also acquired Cal Petersen, Sean Walker and Helge Grans from the Kings, and two 2nd round draft picks. We take a first look at the new Flyers players, grade the deal, and talk about how it fits into the rebuild as well as what it means for a potential Carter Hart trade.

What are the chances for Musty at 22 in the mock? 😜
I thought they had to wait until the playoffs ended to make trades.
From what I've read so far about the trade, if Carter Hart gets traded now because of the goalie coming from the Kings, that would certainly be a downgrade at the position. Unless Carter is traded for a goalie, like the Lions and Rams traded QB's a couple of years ago.
You guys have won me over for best flyers podcast. Half hour and right to the fucking point. No bullshit. They cannot draft reinbacher first in this draft. You can’t pass up on Moore imo. I didn’t like him at first, but watching this playoff he can skate on any team in this league.
Could have sold off last draft like Chicago… probably gotten back more and drafted higher this year:/
Finally! Something to fire up Flyer talk. I noticed the starting goalie for the Panthers in the Stanley Cup was yet another Flyers org. castoff. Give Felix Sandstrom 50 games and see what he does. We hope to be competitive by year 3.
Cohen is probably the type of guy who goes outside when its 75 and breezy and says "yeah its nice out but I like 80 better." The value was great and exactly the type of move Briere needed to make and dude still puts a negative spin on it.
Great show Rachel. Not gonna lie… Russ finding a way to hate every single thing the flyers do is annoying. I’ve been watching for awhile and never said anything until now. It’s obvious he has old pain with the team, but good god man
I like the way Russ looks at many sides of an issue. He tells it the way it is.
If I Trade Hart I am looking to Montréal for 31 or 32 draft Pick Floride a second and a prospect Logan Mailloux or Joshua Roy
Its ironic maybe Provorov Will Play with David Jirichec😂
New Seeler or Braun
Deangelo Will not finish the year with the orange and black sure
The key of the Trade is The first round pick and the Swedish Defensemen Grans
Russ what about the young Swedish Defensemen in the trade
Errson and Cal!
Draft picks are great, but for the most part are magic beans. You get a bunch. Plant them in the system. Let them grow. Then you wait and see what happens.
What do you draft? You take the best available player. You might want or need a defenseman, but a winger is obviously the better player. They skate, play both ends of the ice and has great IQ, you take the wing. At the very least, as they develop, you trade them for your defenseman.
As for the team’s direction, they’re poised to tank for Hagens or Misa. So say hello to your new Philadelphia Sabers? Or Arizona Flyers? At least for the next five years.
John knew what was happening, why does these ppl act like they know it all and put words and all in others mouths. Trust me the amount of time John spent with Danny at the end of the season John knows what’s going on and the entire game plan. Danny didn’t just do this and throw it on Johns lap like here, your welcome now do something with this. And he doesn’t get it that it’s a rebuild, like this is how rebuilds work, but in his eyes it’s a problem not bringing back really good players.
