If something's changed, maybe its a sense of urgency coming off of a non playoff season. That's a different element here. Re your earlier comments, the spirit of them would make bryz a goner for sure. It wouldn't surprise me if today's revelations from winter were yet another nudge maybe based on homer indicating to him that his current plan was to bring ilya back. Pure speculation on my part of course.

Another question that comes to mind. Would you be bracing yourself if the GM was a guy like Holland or sciarelli?

No -- don't misinterpret that. I think Paul Holmgren makes, on the whole, very good trades, and the Flyers draft well, to boot.

I'm bracing myself because I think Sean Couturier and Brayden Schenn...I wouldn't move them. I've said that.

But if Holmgren does...man. The dude's been to two ECF's, one Stanley Cup final, had three 100-point seasons since 2007-2008.

I'm just some guy with a laptop, you know? Who am I to judge that guy, really?

He'd forfit a poop ton of money, that's what.
- hereticpride

He'd probably make $10M a season in the KHL. Well maybe $8M... Bobrovsky will be the one making $10M

Woe is you.

We have Mason. We have options.

Lots of rumors floating around about the Flyers.

Because it creates a Hockeybuzz. More clicks, more revenue, more bosses telling their underlings like Tim Pinocchio, "Keep it up with the BS, the fans are buying it like farmers in need of fertilizer."

Loving the self-fulfilling deluded prophecies today: "Paul Holmgren, a GM I don't like, is probably going to _____ (insert a move I would not like) and that will make me like less, because I don't like him."

Well that's why you're here, right?

But seriously, when you've been watching any team for 40+ yrs like i have, there's a certain "I've seen this movie before" quality to them...esp the flyers. Homer started out extremely well, but his methods are now at a point where he's spinning his wheels. He can't bury his mistakes in the minors and there are no more CBOs after these two. They need a more patient approach, but I don't get the sense we'll see that any time soon.

Or you can have a beautiful new son and not worry about such nonsense

Finally, off-topic, I want to thank everyone for the congrats, prayers, thoughts, and well wishes regarding my 2nd born today (especially the ones from Bo [which cracked my wife & I up], MOAT, ob18, & hammarby [in addition to the ones I mentioned earlier]).

No, no. I really did get a kick out of it.

Holmgren's just going to trade him for a big, slow defenseman

Thats a big F in baby.
- youarewrong

Ah he is a pipsqueak.

My oldest son (now 4) was 10lbs 15oz. at birth and my youngest now (now 8 mos. ) was 10lbs 9oz. Couple of friggin' hosses. My wife is also a damn trooper. Between the 2 boys she labored 38 hours (30 on #1, 8 on number two). All but 5 of those hours was all natural labor (after 25 hours with #1 she got some pitocin and a minimum dose epidural to help the process). I'd have been crying for the strongest thing they had and a shot of bourbon after a minute, I'm sure

Anyway Congrats again 'Skip!

Go B's! I can't wait till this off season begins already. Besides, we need the flyers to get better defensively, so if the B's win, then that's the new template for the flyers and...







good nite

Our D is worse than Dune.

Adrian Dater tweets that Seth Jones won;t be the top pick. Sakic says Avs taking MacKinnon, Drouin or Barkov

Sounds like they're still tying to sell the pick. No other reason to show your hand like that.

Big mistake. Panthers hit the jackpot

They hit the jackpot awhile ago. Getting Any of the top 3 or 4 is getting a potential franchise guy.

I'd take MacKinnon first, too

that opens up the trade scenarios. I think it's a brilliant move by Sakic.

(frank)ing love Sakic... BRILLIANT move.
If everything stays the same i truthgfully feel Jones slips to #4 OR maybe even #5... no im not kidding
Florida takes Drouin
Tampa takes Nichushkin
Nashville takes Barkov or Jones
Carolina gets Jones or Barkov

WOW!
