I would love to see Bryz play tomorrow.

So freakin great.

If this team can't get it up against Byrz with a poop defense in front of him, they should be forced to the AHL.

Nobody has given me a good reason why we aren't picking up Whitney.

Because he isn't any good anymore? Florida is every bit as bad as the Flyers and they're dumping him...

I think you are helping his case
- mikel33


I guess that depends on what 'the case' is?

My point is we already have enough potential and I'd hesitate trading a lot for another unproven player even with him being the #1 pick a couple years ago.

That being said, unfortunately nobody from the Flyers is calling me about potential trades.

You have to go back to 1999 for the last time a forward selected 1st overall didn't become at the minimum an allstar player. And only 2 forwards since before 1990. I think the odds are with yakupov.
- youarewrong


No doubt. I'm not saying Yak won't be good, I'm just leery about how much, assuming he's available, trade for him.

Rick Nash is solid, but I wouldn't throw a bunch of players the other way to get him. And the other #1 forward of note is Kovy.

Ultimately it boils down to who on the Flyers you would trade for Yakupov if he were available.

My hesitation is trading a known, such as Mason, for 'potential', especially since Mason is playing so well in a fairly important position.

Heartbroken. RT @SUNSports Got it on good authority. #Hemsky's locker being cleared out in Philly. Looks like he's been traded. #Oilers

I'm just saying even if it costs you some of that youth Yakupov is going to likely be out best goal scorer since leclair a d lindros.

I am told Edmonton talking to two teams in the metro division regarding a major deal. And a separate team in the metro regarding a separate deal. Interesting night ahead.

I think hemsky might be going to NJ and flyers and rangers are battling for yakupov.

i can understand not wanting to move mason, because he is still pretty damn young and he looks really solid. and goalie has been such a hard subject so if youre sold on one i can see why youd want to just let it be. but there is no one on the flyers defense that wouldnt be worth moving for yakupov
