That was pretty cheap!

Explains why they didn't grab Larsen off waivers. Needed the slot.

The real cost is going to be what it takes to re-sign him. And then what the dominoes are. Because a current Flyers D man other the Timonen and Meszaros is eventually on their way out.

Guess Andrew MacDonald won't be playing for the Islanders tonight... He's now a member of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Isles get a 2nd and a 3rd

Streits been alright. MacDonald won't be asked to play top pairing minutes.

And as was discussed. Flyers got their primary target. Andrew McDonald

By my count that puts the Flyers at 9 dmen..
Something has to give.

Pointless in a weak draft. Keep him as insurance in the event we lose our top 7 dmen like we do every other year

MacDonald is a minutes eater and yet another shot-blocker. Not an individual difference maker.

We'll see. Boston could give us a 2nd

but we have to get a pick back. A 2nd preferably

people acting like we gave up a 1st for him...

I wish they just kept the draft picks this year.

AMac as a rental doesn't thrill me.
