What type of creativity will Holmgren use to find a way to get rid of sunk costs in Hartnell, Lecavalier, and Grossmann?

Feeding the local media nasty rumors that result in an unpleasant stay forcing these players to demand a trade.

Haha, I know. But there was mass clamoring (a lot by youarewrong) earlier, demanding that we acquire Yakupov at all costs.

I just seem to be one of the few people who thinks the team can upgrade without trading Brayden Schenn. I really think trading him now would be selling very low on him.

Split Fraude Giroux in half and send his left to EDM and his right to WPG?

I don't care what they do this offseason as long as they get Shea Weber

I think Winnipeg would want the right half and a 2nd.

I'll say it again:

One of the most frustrating things about this series for me, was the amount of shots (especially during powerplays) that were blocked by the shins of Rangers players and redirected out of the zone, or taken away by another Rangers player.

Against these teams that heavily block shots, such as the Rangers this series, SHOOT HIGH. You don't even have to aim for the net. If a player is going to kneel down and block everything with the shins, aim high, catch one in the face/head/ear and that should get them to think-twice about trying to block EVERY (frank)ING SHOT that the Flyers attempt.

or, wait for the player to slide out of the way, like on the wild's game tying goal late late in regulation, instead of waiting to shoot until the playe is directly in your lane. or pivot/angle away from the player if he's down and not sliding. either way, they did a terrible job of getting pucks through. just too slow moving the puck/making decisions.

Well then you won't have much to care about this offseason, or else you'll have a team that has Shea Weber and is looking at missing the playoffs due to the gut job it would take. And you're talking to the biggest Shea Weber fan in the area.

They can, to an extent. But he's probably our best tradeable asset.

No because waiting for the player to slide gets Lundqvist set in net. The flyers needed to one time the puck with quick passing and get off HARD shots so if the player managed to get there in time it hurt like hell. The problem was hesitation due to a few shots getting blocked. They were scared to take a one time blast.

His value is at an all time high. Trade him now before he declines in a decade.

He's going to win it! Flyers will put that in the hardware case next to the scores of Norris trophies.
