It's amazing how the Habs are making Bergeron look like coots in the o zone

How can nfl teams continue to be so unbelievably dumb? Bills trade their first this year and next year and a 4th to move up 5 spots to get a WR in the deepest WR draft ever?

Colossally stupid.

I'm very interested to see what role Raffl has next season. I thought his best work was with G and Voracek.

I really like his play. If he could just improve his accuracy he could be lethal.

I agree. And he should be given the opportunity to show that he can. But I don't feel that he should be penciled in, and have it his spot to lose. I agree with Hextall, when he says that young players have to earn it. I think how he played in the playoffs has earned him a chance, not a roster spot for next Season.

i think much will depend on what hextall does in the offseason. i don't think he's penciled in, but i do think it's his spot to lose right now, if that makes sense, and he'll lose it by not earning it.

Jsqualla said that Holmgren said the same thing in 07 about retaining picks. Blah blah blah. I hope hextall is a man of his word

i believe hextall. i'm sure the years in LA did him some good in terms of getting out of the flyers culture.

It's not a matter of Holmgren not being a man of his word. It has to do with how patient Ed Snider can be.

Regarding b schenn. I certainly hope and believe the flyers keep him. Whenever I watch him however I just think Dustin brown. This kid is a dustin brown clone. Dustin brown started as a center. I think b schenn could be the LW of the future on the top line with g and jake starting next year

It's time to be patient, 2 years late, but should not make any trade unless it helps the future.

There's a reason he's falling further than the "experts" thought. His game won't translate to the pros.
