No deals yet today, no good rumors on Twitter.

Boring.

Usually it's understandable -- teams can't take on salary, teams don't have picks, blah blah blah.

But with the cap coming down, there are teams that have to make some adjustments, whether it be buyouts or whatever.

Thought today would feature a little more fun stuff by now.

Calm before the storm.

I think Sunday at the draft is gonna be a little crazy. Really hope I'm able to watch on Sunday.

I have no doubt that Bill has already written on this topic somewhere.

Also, I have no doubt that Bill can tell what happened to Par Styf, specifically.

He changed his name to Par Stiff

I wonder if Barkann has access to the war room

Only if he is acting as a pinata.

Really nice to see Chris Pronger looking engaged, healthy.

He was my favorite player in the league even before the Flyers acquired him -- I like everything about how he played, his skill level, his compete level.

He wasn't always clean...but sometimes, it's like that.

Injuries happen, so I don't moan and complain that he is no longer able to play. Just glad that it appears that he's at least able to function in group settings, still be part of an organization in some capacity.

I think the bigger thing to take away from that is Pronger is actually helping out this draft

Yea its great. I was a huge Lindros fan and he got me into hockey as a kid. Pronger was my favorite non Flyer, it was surreal when we made that trade for him. Ill never forget that day.

Bah! Someone needs to help a woman out who doesn't have a twitter account and is at work. Describe it. Slowly...

It's a photo of Chris Pronger in the Flyers Draft room, Holmgren is in the background.... wearing some ghastly look sandals.

Shot of the Flyers war room........................with.............Chris Pronger in the forefront looking smarter than everyone else. Homer in the background doing his Barkann jokey face

I think Chris just keeps a blank Excel sheet open so he can play the, "Oh, I was just getting started here," card.

Hmm.. You seem very practiced at work deception.

Just...it's amazing how one franchise can collect a set of beat writers that are all collectively awful.

I miss Les Bowen and Edward Moran from the Daily News. That's the last time anybody covered the Flyers with any degree of common sense mixed with competent coverage.

So just because he never came over to North America, he's a "stiff"?

Tomorrow will be the hectic day I think. Then on Wednesday. Just My opinion. Calm before the storm feels like to me.

I think tomorrow will be hectic behind the scenes, but you won't see any moves made until draft day.

I believe the last time that happened was Bill Metzler 2013

Panaccio: Flyers talking to St. Louis about Halak. It will take a good player, but not a top guy.

Oh! Sorry, Bill! I read your stuff every day, obviously, because you are quite easily the best guy out there covering this team.
