i thought i read he'd be with the black aces after the season, but not sure that means he's eligible. even if he is, no shot he's getting in there.

I think he can skate & practice but don't believe he can play

someone needs to sneak into the Flyers locker room and tell those players if they want revenge on the Penguins. They need to beat the Rangers,

I am guessing but in a weak market for his kind of D somebody will probably come close.

Kind of hate the Avs as they are my friend's favourite team but they have built a solid group. Smart trades, signings and growing from within.

Roy should have that Jack Adams locked up. Set the tone with that lunacy in the first game, but it was a smart move that they were not going to be pushed around and they were a different team.

Would you guys do a Mackinnon for Giroux straight up trade? Would the Avs?

I take one positive thing from game one, with as bad as they played it was 1-1 until the 4 minutes penalty. That penalty kicked the last nail in. If the right Flyers show up and they have to, they should win this game. G needs to play the best game of his career.

I wouldn't and it is not even close for me.
Mackinnon hasn't proven anything yet other than he looks like a promising rookie.
Giroux has turned into a PPG player over the course of a multi-year career including the playoffs just entering his prime.

Yes, but I would argue Mackinnon has even more upside. And you get him for a few years for cheap which frees up salary. I think next season he will be within 5-7 points of Giroux. Its something that may look a gamble now but may change a franchise around 2-3 years later if Mackinnon is Crosby good and starts putting together 110 point seasons.
