Well they only gave him one year, where Read got 3.

But his coach said he;s a good playmaker & solid defensively

It means that the Phantoms have a talented kid, albeit a small one, to help them next year

Bad season aside, Coburn's trade value is still pretty high.

High enough to get a young blue-chipper out of a PO-bound GM I'd wager -- Nick Leddy, Cam Fowler, Jamie McBain, Tim Erixon, that sort.

The shows aren't inspiring a desire for me to blow upwards of $10 on a kindle copy and be put to sleep. My thing with that genre is, if dudes with armor and weapons are walking around, then a regular sequence if mayhem needs to occur otherwise set it in a coffee shop and be done with it. FYI I'm a major R.E Howard fan, puts all these works to shame

Why wouldn't they just go hard after Bishop or Bernier in the summer as long-term solutions? UFA-to-be Mike Smith would fit their system perfectly as well -- almost plays the puck as well as Marty.

Speaking of Bishop, the Flyers would be wise to bark up that tree asap.

- Tomahawk


I think Smith is somewhat of a product of Tippett hockey, (cough Bryz cough).

Bernier yes, Bishop I'm not sold on just yet to be a full-time starter.

Didn't they sign him to an ATO? Not full season?
Edit: never mind. 1 way deal though?

As long as they find ways beat Pittsburgh so i don't have to hear my annoying Pens homer friends cackling.


An example of their wit via a homer's facebook page:



What do the Flyers and the Titanic have in common?

They are both at the bottom of the Atlantic!

and

When they hit the ice, they are screwed.

My witty retort:

Nice to see you recycling! Wouldn't want to see those old Pens jokes from 2002-2006 going to waste.

Do they talk about how great they are constantly in the books?
Edit;: I m sure eventually that ill get around to at least trying the first book. I'm pretty open minded with most things literature.

There are two undrafted players at Miami that I think Holmgren should look at closely. Although the signing of Flanagan might make them think twice about one of them, since he's also a smallish forward.

The forward is Austin Czarnik:
Represented the United States at the 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship, handing out two assists in pool play for Team USA. CCHA Player of the Month for October, as well as the CCHA Offensive Player of the Week (11/26-12/2) ... tied for fourth in the CCHA with 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) ... tied for the national lead with three short-handed goals ... has 10 multi-point games this season, the most recent being a two-assist effort against Alaska (2/2) ... has three multi-goal games this year (10/20, 11/3 and 2/1) after recording just one all of last season ... leads the RedHawks with 22 assists and a +18 rating ... one of just six RedHawks to play in all 36 games.


The other is goalie Ryan McKay:
Named to the CCHA 2012-13 All-Rookie Team ... CCHA Goaltender of the Month for both December and February ... HCA National Rookie of the Month for December ... leads all of college hockey with a 1.17 GAA, the next closest player has a 1.49 GAA ... also leads in save percentage (.957) ... has made 17 starts, compiling a record of 10-4-2 ... started the season opener against Colgate (10/12), leading the team to a 3-0 shutout victory ... only allowed one goal total in his first three starts ... his 3 shutouts this year tie for third in the CCHA and 12th in NCAA.

Czarnik and Flanagan seem like similar players, so I'm not sure we need them both, and Czarnik is even smaller than Flanagan. But I think McKay is the real deal. Seen him play several times and he always seems to make the big save. Also, since most of the other goalies in the CCHA have already been drafted, it seems like a reasonable idea to sign the kid that is clearly the best goalie in that league, and quite possibly the best goalie in all of college hockey.

That will have an effect on the off season. Because he is signed to a one way deal, the Flyers will have to carry him on their off season Cap.
