Has MAB played with the phantoms yet or just practicing?
- Just5

He played at least twice this weekend, had at least an assist in one of the games, picked up a 10-minute misconduct today, but don't know why.

yeah, u think?

if Doug Wilson was that dumb we would/could all be GM's

Didn't say he wouldn't hang up the phone laughing, but I could still consider it

so what's our problem then?

in the least insulting way possible, by and large, your defenders cannot skate

since you all are laughing but won't provide any solutions to the flyers problems what do you do? letting timonen walk at the end of this season does nothing for the flyers

glad i got it out

That's cool with me. You know the flyers won't sell off. They will still be in the mix in this weak conference at the deadline.
- Just5

yeah id say so

Not insulted; it is simply a statement of fact.

I'm not laughing at all, at the very least I make that call. All they can tell me is no thanks.

coburn, good skater for his size
timonen, its a sin to see how old he is, but he is definitely fading
grossman, slow
schenn, slow
streit, can skate but usually doesnt skate to where he should

Trade timonen to a contending team for anything

Trade Mez for anything if possible

Make a possible hockey trade with grossman picking up an equally bad contract on a more mobile 3rd pairing guy or overpaid grinder type

Bring up lauridsen, mab if he looks good, and possibly alt. Play Gus

Figure our what the hell to do with vinny. Not my job

This...is not a bad plan, to be honest. It's probably what should be done, IMO. The timing is tricky because not making the playoffs is an awful, awful thing...but this is probably what should be done.

- 2Real

I still have no idea what the hell they were thinking when they made that trade. The rest of the ever loving hockey world had no idea why anyone would've wanted to trade for Gomez's contract at the time.

It certainly helped Sather out of his own stupidity.

Meszaros has average speed, and I would say that Streit is also average.

But it's the bad part of average, too: First three, five, seven strides...are less than average.

still though. a pretty damning lack of speed back there.

Yup, exactly what I'd like to see them do.
And for those who don't think they'll get much for Timonen or even Grossmann,
here's 2 words for you: Douglass Murray

do you wanna win a cup or you do wanna be that team that always choked

- AllInForFlyers

The only Flyers dman with above average speed is Coburn, and maybe Gus. None of them have exceptional speed, not one, and thats a problem.

Yup, and he apparently was worth 2 second round picks last year.
