Well, more and more, I think that Timonen won't retire quite yet and the Flyers will sign him to another one-way contract. I do think they may trade for a defenseman this summer as well, especially if they can't get MacDonald re-signed.

First and foremost, though, I think the Flyers "defensive issues" stem more from team D -- players moving feet, puck support, etc -- than lack of capable personnel on the blueline. The group they have now isn't spectacular but at least they have six bonafide NHL defensemen to run out there.

I feel happy and sad at the same time after reading

resigning Kimmo, yay

giving up those draft picks for Macdonald as only a rental, boo

kimmo for 3+ and amac will get 4.5
you ok with those #s?

in practice, its hard to have that marilyn monroe type though. at the very least, to sustain it. and honestly, jolie never struck me as having a boyish figure really.
- stayinthefnnet

Yeah, Joile is more skeletal than boyish.

So, two years ago today

is Mase starting ?

and will chicago go globetrotter on the flyers again tonight?

Kimo is not going to be convinced not to retire for less than $5mil.
Amac we will be really lucky to get for 4.5 and most likely 5 ~5.2 I think.

coburn made a good play there
took 2 defenders to the net (sort of)

and crosby was in no mans land

He makes good plays sometimes.

Wasn't that big of a deal. Flyers had that one in the shootout

At least we wont be spending 4mil for a guy to sit in the press box next year.

I have a feeling this game is going to be like the Finals games. Up and down with lots of scoring. I really want them to get at least a point tonight. Blackhawks aren't hitting on all cylinders right now.

That's obscene.
- Tomahawk

it's a lot

at 5.2 the flyers may walk away from amac

so bye bye draft picks

is the finnish rook playing for chicago?

Stars playing the Pens tonight. Third straight game for Bill covering the Pens. He's going to know them just as well as the Flyers after tonight.

That's obscene.
- Tomahawk

I don't know why it's obscene. If Mark Streit can get 5M on the open market. And Matt Carle can get 5+ on the open market. So can MacDonald. 5M for some reason scares some fans. But it's not really that big of a number. It's like 3.5M two years ago. Salaries escalate. Anything under 5M for MacDonald would be a flat out steal.

David Lidstrom Rundblad? I don't think so. He's played one game since coming over to the Hawks.

You meant Teuvo didn't you?
