So remember right before the season, when all of the Islanders fans put the Flyers out of the playoff picture, and assumed they would be making the playoffs? Ya that was silly.

He'll sacrifice his body for the team as well. Generates a lot of respect around the locker room.

Will we be forgiven for our Tibbets/Boulerice/Bureau/Ulfie mistakes of our past?

Ya, but they're selling off now and at the bottom of the league, is all I mean.

So what if the Flyers now trade Mez and/or Grossmann?

Clears a bunch of salary.

Then go out and trade for Edler/Ehrhoff or other top D guy?

They have replaced Mez/Grossmann with Macdonald and Ehrhoff/Edler.

Defense rebuilt in 2 days.

All hockey sins can be forgiven, all you need to do is confess... Except for the the Carcillo deadline deal. That was just too egregious.

You're assuming they can sign MacD for a reasonable (to them) price. He may want 5 years/$5M per.

Well...hell. Gotta give the Coyotes credit -- Chicago's loaded with forward prospects, and they probably got a good one for him

Way to go PHX. You understand you're supposed to aim to beat teams owning your conference like the BlackHawks, right?

Maybe if they're really nice, Chicago will let them have 1/4 of the Cup this year.

Not so much...I was getting yelled at for not wanting to burn picks for a player who, while not the worst player in the world, isn't exactly guaranteed to solve our issues
