The Flyers could use a puck mover. He's a very good one without a doubt.

His contract isn't very friendly, but it's not horrid either, like JayBo's, and he'd be a nice offensive addition to the blue-line that would certainly bolster our transition game.

I thought we needed a defenseman?

And so it begins. We're getting a head start this year because we might not be able to have the whole team on LTIR by the New Year. So naturally, Father Hockey just decides to smite us during TRAINING ROUTINES as opposed to regular season games in November, like normal.

Ya know what though?

Every year I tell myself, "Self, it's the Flyers. You can't expect them to be healthy. You KNOW it's gonna happen. Injuries to the Orange and Black, and key ones at that, are the definition of inevitable. It's gonna happen. I shouldn't even get sad. It's NORMAL."

And every time I get sad.

It sucks. I lure myself into that false sense of security because thinking lies along the lines of it's a new season.

It's (frank)in August, man

Just saw that

Gus and MAB are being overlooked, in my opinion. They're not gonna step in and replace Carle or Mez, but they're very respectable players.

EDIT: Laughton initialed an EL deal as well.

So you actually have to address yourself when you're talking to yourself? Who else do you think you would be talking to?

Ek is onto something with the Habs/Flyers rumors, but I don't think they involve Subban.

What would you guys think of adding Kaberle for a draft pick?

- LordStanley88


If by that you mean "Montreal offers us a draft pick for taking that worthless load off their hands," I'd consider it.

He's a nice stop gap for when Kimmo leaves in regards to puck movement/offensive prowess.

He's not a premiere, two-way dman. The world knows this. Anyone who wants to argue his offensive contributions needs their head checked.

Kaberle on this squad with all of our offensive weapons up front could be deadly.

- mochoson


I'll pass on Kaberle, as he is signed through next Season. If he was on the last year of his deal, then maybe.
