SOME work?

They have talent. Just need to play better. They have some holes to fill but I don't think they are as bad as this year showed.

That cabbie has a cool story to tell.

Punched by a Conn Smythe winner.

Great to see.

The Flyers have some work to do.

next yr has to be a bridge yr. get back to plyoffs nxt yr and then, hit one out of the park at the draft/ trade and thru some development and a w/ little luck, the flyers could be a minor cup contender in 2 yrs and a real one in 3. must get a top pairing dman somehow, though.

The young guys have to fulfill their promise. If they trend upward everything will be good, if they plateau not good.

You might be right.

Problem is they have no patience or plan. Even if they do have a plan its always a one year plan (go for it). That's the issue, they want to win a cup for Snider but they aren't building the team the correct way.

First order of business is to get rid of the goalie. Obviously he is a distraction to the team and the players didn't have many good things to say about him (exit interviews) based on "rumors".

Giroux's next contract is going to do some damage to the Flyers.

It all depends on a lot. I truly believe they'll make the playoffs next yr. If mason emerges as a true #1 and we aquire skilled guys like Ryan and edler, I can see them as a legit cup contender next year

I'm on the Zadarov train, really looking forward to the draft either way.

How do you know they don't have a plan? Obviously they had some plan in mind when they traded their 2 superstars for a youth-core.

yay! patrick kane!!!

i didn't get that selection

They do have a plan. I actually should of stated that. They go for a quick Band-Aid approach. Its win now mode and there's no patience shown within the organization.

Anyone want to toss me a few numbers that would support the NHL being better than the NBA

Idk it depends on the next couple of moves they make. As of now they have just a bit less of 20 million for 10 players, not including bryzs buyout. Toems and Kane are both signed for about 6.3 (I'm too lazy to check if that's right) but I really don't see re signing g as a killer contract.

Schenn will probably have a lower cap hit than he does now, and couts probably won't get too much of a raise

The cap won't stay at $64 million for very long. Attendance returned to normal levels quickly after the lockout ended.

What do you think Giroux's cap hit will be?

The one thing that stands out at least in this final series.

The stars, were absolutely the best players.

Its such a cliche saying, but they took it to another level.

- stveshdy

I'm hoping for a discount around what Toems and Kane make, so 6.3/yr. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if he gets 7-7.5.
And that would put the flyers in quite the quandry, imo

the D just not good enough, unsettled in goal...don't see that at all.

- stveshdy

after 2 seasons not one player from the richie and carts deals have been traded.

They didn't give up on Jake after a bad start in philly.
They didn't trade Coots and Schenn for Weber
Simmonds got a 6 year deal
Lavy still has a job after that last season.


Actually I think they are showing a good amount of patience.

Toews and his .75 goals per round were amazing
