Carchidi says MacDonald is an excellent pick up for the Flyers. That confirms it, and puts my worries to bed.

why don't we dump mez and grossman and let gusty play
- 2Real

Because size and truculence and testosterone?

2nd and 3rd round picks aren't assets?
- 2Real

Come on, you know what I mean.

Goodbye grossman!!! Bye bye!!!

Maybe seeing better match ups with better players around will raise his confidence. I hope

Pair him with the Master of defense Timonen and let him absorb.

More likely, it means Gill is getting waived and Gus goes back to eating popcorn.
- Tomahawk

Timonen- Schenn
Coburn - Grossmann
Streit -Macdonald
Mez
Gus

It gives us a lot of options for now, and in the offseason.

Goodbye grossman!!! Bye bye!!!

I guess when he leaves Philly he has to leave his second "n" behind?

Goodbye grossman!!! Bye bye!!!
- Just5

You think he gets traded?

Overpayment for macdonald. I bet we deal grossman for a 5th

Timonen- Streit
Coburn - Grossmann
Schenn -Macdonald
Mez
Gus

Free GUS!!!!!!!!

I feel like the top dman on every bad team always has worse Corsi numbers than they really are.

Weren't Streit's Corsi numbers terrible before coming to Philly?

2nd and 3rd round picks aren't assets?
- 2Real

2nd rounder = TDL rental

3rd rounder = Goulbourne

Come on, you know what I mean.
- Flyersgod

we could turn one of those picks into the next subban

2nd rounder = TDL rental

3rd rounder = Goulbourne
- Marc D

Stolarz, Ghost, Hagg?

Timonen- Schenn
Coburn - Grossmann
Streit -Macdonald
Mez
Gus

I do like those pairings.

Reuniting Nose and Grossmann could be awesome

Goodbye grossman!!! Bye bye!!!

Oh and if you trade Grossmann that would leave only Schenn, Coburn, Streit, and Guss under contract next season...

broad st hockey did a piece on this the last few days, go there to read


I think he is a better player then the corsi folks point out
but the stats are bad
- Marc D

It just smells so much like a lateral move -- with the Flyers' depth the way it is, if they don't recoup the picks...

I don't sweat the third-rounder as much, but those second-rounders add up, man.

I think they will re-sign MacDonald if they trade Grossmann.

Its rare the Flyers trade picks without re-signing the player.

2nd rounder = TDL rental

3rd rounder = Goulbourne

pk subban

Its a 2015 pick. Sweat it in 2 years...

pk subban
- 2Real

yeah but not couture

Stolarz, Ghost, Hagg?
- PhillySportsGuy

Exactly -- not sure how anybody can spin that second-rounders don't matter when only our freaking future rides on those three guys doing poop at the NHL level

Its a 2015 pick. Sweat it in 2 years...
- SchennBros

2015 is supposed to be a really strong draft. Id rather it be 2014

If Flyers are indeed able and willing to get a second round pick for Meszaros, this deal might make a lot more sense.

I hope so

He has the worst Corsi in the NHL this year I believe for those who are unaware
