That would be the second-best thing -- if only because not listening could end in dismissal.

Homer needs to go all Les Grossman (1 N) on Snider:

No but Nashville and Carolina both said they would be open to trading down as long as it wasn't too far. At 4 you are definitely getting one of Barkov or Drouin and there are rumors that Tampa loves Nichuchskin at 3.

I'm afraid to know what it would take to move up there though.

Buffalo also thinks they are going to get something of value for Ryan Miller.

You don't think the two 1st and Miller isn't enticing to Patrick Roy?

Justin Schultz would be enticing.

Going Crazy here.. Flyers going to make the biggest noise ever in draft history. Trade Schenn and 2nd to Edmonton for 7th and Shultz. Trade 11th overall, Coburn, and 2nd next season for Carolina 5th overall. And 7th overall, Meszaros, and Cousins for 4th overall. Laughton for Runblad. Read for Bernier.

Draft Nichushkin and Barkov.

Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek
Nichushkin-Barkov-Simmonds
Gagne-Couturier-Talbot
Raffl/McGinn-Holmstrom-Rinaldo

Timonen-Schenn
Grossmann-Shultz
Gustefsson-Runblad.

Mason
Bernier

Now I would be willing to be patient with this team....

p.s. they would also be so bad that they will have the 1str overall pick next year in Philly!

How can anyone take this post as anything but ridiculous? Don't you know that Gustafsson is spelled with an "a?"

Miller is a declining goalie with a big mouth. There will be a glut of goalies on the market this summer. Plus Buffalo sits just outside the elite talent of this draft. I doubt Colorado would even consider dropping below 5 overall.

Sign me up 1000 times for B. Schenn + a 2nd for J. Schultz + 7th overall.

Yes, but not for the 1st overall.

How about if they throw in Steve Duschene, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci and 15 million dollars?

3/8" or 1/4"?

I was thinking 6/5s

Per Twitter, the Flyers have acquired Mark Streit for a 4th round pick.

Flyers trade for Mark Streit.

Edit: won't get him signed.

How DARE you!

"The Flyers organization has dramatically reversed courses in their master plan too many times in the last decade. Rather than over-reacting to a bad year in a shortened season, they would be better served to continue to add building blocks instead of looking for that huge move that will magically put a team that probably isn't ready for a return to the Stanley Cup Finals back into immediate title contention. "

Bill, I fully agree.

I love how Streit is one of the only UFAs that Ek doesn't have the Flyers having a hand in and that's who they make initial play for.

Same problem we had with Hamhuis a few years back?

It potentially adds another #3-5 defensemen. I think it is a precusor to have #5, #8 or #41 dealt in another move, if he is signed.

You have to be a big man on the blue line to get your name spelled correctly. He got Grossmann so I'm cool with it.
