Cool so is Gags now not coming back? Because with this signing all forward pisitions are filled if Laughton plays wing.
- coffee junkie

Gags was a long shot at best as soon as we signed Lecavalier.

Who knows so much speculation right now. Tim P said homer told him he wasn't resigning Hall after the season ended soooo...

tim p is not exactly a great source

Lebrun mentioned it on twitter that hes comfortable with philly I believe

Nothing can be official until tomorrow afternoon, so let's wait until then.

Giroux can score a point per game for the next 5 years and folks will still complain about the deal.

#1 centers scoring a point per game don't grow on trees.
- Marc D

got mkt value...won't walk around like the BMOC. good signing

Comfortable = signed?

Might be a fake twitter account.

Ray Emery very likely moving on from Chicago, looking for bigger role, chance at 1 or 1a spot. I'd put Philly as front-runner.


Could be, I dont know how all that works, says he has 200,000 followers and all, I am new to this twitter crap.

Sorry did we resign Hall? Does that mean no Gagne?
- JAKEw1234

I believe so. Unless trades are made. Laughton if he makes the team plays 4th or 3rd LW with Talbot as the alternative.

it was on espn.com quick hits so if its fake there good

Gags was 50/50 to come back depending on where he put his price range. This is bittersweet, as I love Gagne, but Hall is the better defensive guy and is pretty good on faceoffs as well.

Schenn was going to end up as a winger anyway. Laughton can come up playing wing (like I said, it's how Giroux came up). Talbot played mostly wing last year. As for D, there are 7 players slated to be defenseman for opening night. Chances are one will be gone by Saturday morning.

Everyone needs to stop worrying.

G was a winger in junior and converted to center when he made it to the Flyers. Scott is a center and you shouldn't convert to wing if you can play center. There's no real need to rush him.

That doesn't mean he's signed it just Lebrun's opinion

Yea, I didnt say he signed.

Am I missing something? We resigned Hall? So we have Giroux, Schenn, Couterier, Talbot, Lecavier, Hall and Laughton who are going to play center for us. I know some can play wing, it still too many. And 9 defense men as well. Is there a trade I'm missing?

talbot is a winger
schenn can play wing
laughton can actually develop like in those other organizations that we're all supposedly so jealous of

Trade of another forward always possible...

I just worry that the juniors have nothing left to teach him and he doesn't grow very much this year. In the case of prospect development, if you aren't going forwards, you're going backwards.

I think people need to move on from Gagne.

Oh I thought someone said he was signed.

Mason 1st line center. Giroux right D.
- jmatchett383

omg we're heavy on right d now!

- hereticpride

Supposedly we want another scoring forward
The Flyers plans seem confusing to me so far, but all I can say is "In Homer we trust"

Bittersweet for sure. Gags is close to the end of his career IMHO. LA wouldn't even play him.

How the hell does edm land Phillipe Larsen and a 7th for horcoff? I thought this Dallas GM was a Detroit product? This doesn't sound very savy

Oh I thought someone said he was signed.
- cfish99

No, looking back I did use the word comfortable with philly. Sorry for any confusion it may have caused.

- Don'tForgetTocchet

I don't think the front office has a plan for Laughton to play in the AHL. I think Coots is gone for a dman and Cob urn and read are gone for a top notch winger for G

I think people need to move on from Gagne.
- stveshdy

Agreed
