The Rich get Richer


Per Chris Johnston, the Coyotes traded Rundblad to Chicago

- Jsaquella

What was the return?

I would have loved the Flyers to have taken a shot there.

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

Depends what the picks are.

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.

Aaron Ward ‏@aaronward_nhl 27s

Anton Khudobin and the Carolina Hurricanes agree to an extension 2yrs/4.5M #TSN #Tradecentre

Here's a thought... With all the goalie movements I wouldn't be surprised to see Winnipeg go after Cam Ward considering this playoff push they are making. There's the familiarity with Maurice also.

Isn't overpaying players one of the reasons the flyers keep bumping against the cap ceiling?

I realize that, and I'm not saying never trade picks, but I am saying that you can't draft well if you don't have picks.

Do we really want to be in the position of paying MacDonald 5x5 based on 20 games and, hopefully, a playoff run?

Terrible trade by the Yotes. Not enough of a return and trading him to a team in the same conference that is already stacked. They're going to regret that trade for a long time.
