"On the wing for the foreseeable future, they have young top-six players like Michkov and Tyson Foerster, and then Travis Konecny will be there for the long haul after the veteran winger signed an eight-year contract extension. Throw in skilled Bobby Brink and other prospects like top guy Porter Martone and roster hopefuls like Alex Bump and Nikita Grebenkin, and the Flyers are loaded on the wing."
"First of all, Tippett's calling cards are his speed and his shot. He is one of the quickest skaters in the entire NHL, grading out in the 98th percentile in max skating speed and the 99th percentile in how many quick bursts he had up the ice, according to NHL EDGE tracking data. Toronto needs one of those players -- they have only appeared slower this season."
The Toronto Maple Leafs seek a top-six scoring forward and Owen Tippett emerges as a candidate from the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers are rebuilding but possess a surplus of wingers, including Matvei Michkov, Tyson Foerster, Travis Konecny, Bobby Brink, Porter Martone, Alex Bump and Nikita Grebenkin. Teams are reportedly evaluating Tippett as a potential trade piece, and Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving is urged to pursue him. Tippett offers elite speed—98th percentile max speed and 99th percentile quick bursts per NHL EDGE—and a powerful shot. Tippett is a 26-year-old winger from Peterborough who could provide long-term security.
