All the Flyers have to do is win outright. Not over yet.

Im pretty sure they have one to lose if certain things do our way.

Yup sanity is in short supply in these parts.

Nikita Zadorov just scored a top shelf beauty after they missed a pick by Maatta to get him free.

Now tied 3 - 3

Decent but not great.

power play goal he had no chance, one goal popped up in the air and nobody knew what happened and went in, the other he went down to early and couldn't recover.

You're family blocked hockeystreams?

FWIW Heres my plan to fix the Flyers:
1. Buyout Bryz and Briere
2. If they hit the jackpot and get the 1st pick grab Jones.More likely if they pick between 5 and 8 grab Nurse.
3. Trade their 2nd, Gus and Cousins for Bouwmeester; St Louis wont want to pay him since they have to resign Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk.
4. Sign Ray Emery and Brendan Morrison; this team can use some fire and leadership
5. If he can get healthy trade Mez for draft picks, if not LTIRhim
6. Resign Gagne
7. Resign Hall & Rosenhill for depth

Lineup:
Hartnell Giroux Voracek
Morrison Couturier Read
Gagne Schenn Simmonds
Talbot Laughton Rinaldo
spares:Rosenhill & Hall

Bouwmeester Schenn
Timonen Coburn
Grossmann Jones or Nurse

Spare: Gervais

Goal
Mason & Emery

Thoughts??

Expect Bouwmeester is in St Louis and is not a UFA after this season. I won't touch the rest, it's not worth the time.

A. They didn't refuse. Jagr and his agent didn't want to wait and took a good offer when it came their way.

B. We have a top 5 power-play without him. If he were here what would he improve besides the locker room presence?

Also if he were here no way Jake has the breakout season.

I fully support not re-signing Jagr, and am glad they moved on from him.

Why is that? If he came back at the same price, I have no issue with giving him PP minutes. Our 2nd PP is lacking a bit.

In all seriousness, the crux of this one is good. My favorite is the bouwmeester acquisition Bc st Louis hands are tied. Jbow plays a style that lends himself to having many more years in the NHL. And his cap hit will come down a bit

St. Louis has been a rock defensively. 2 shutouts in the last week

Brendan Morrison though? How old is that dude? Does he play for van still?

And emery I like. And drafting a d like nurse or ristolanen is spot on.

I don't think St. Louis gives him up for Read and Briere, unless the pick you are giving up is this years 1st. If you want to handcuff St. Louis then throw an offer sheet at Shattenkirk.

I'd like to move on too. Iginla might be a long shot but I'd love to have his leadership in this lockeroom. He still has lots of tread

Because it was time for the younger players to take a bigger bite. And if growing pains needed to happen, let it happen and get it over with. Wanted no parts of bringing him back. He was good for a year. But it was time to move on.

whatever will be, will be...

At this point, something's got to give. To me, it's looking like it's 50-50 that he'll be back. I think they can win with him. But he has not played that great, either.

If he did fall asleep in a meeting, I can guarantee he'll be bought out
