He had most of his junior success paired with speedier guys like Calvert and Glennie... maybe Read and Raffl might be a combo they could consider. Having them back the D in with their speed might give Schenn a little more room to work with.

Tbh, I just want him at center and away from VL. He's shown to be a pretty good player when he's given those accommodations.

say no to kesler unless it's a swap for vinny

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result

Playing Schenn on the wing is entering that realm
- AllInForFlyers

You could say the same thing about center because he's flipped between the two.

I think you can fully expect Nashville to OS couturier in 2016 . It think they are going to make you pay high for that one .

As a trade I would offer up Tanev and a second for Schenn, but I know Flyers fans would turn it down. He was one of our best Dmen for periods of weeks at a time last year ,but is virtually unheard of out East.
- VANTEL

Offer sheets don't scare anyone; in 2016 Nicklas Grossmann, Luke Schenn and Braydon Coburn all come off the books.

There isn't enough money in the commonwealth of Tennessee to formulate a contract that the Flyers couldn't match in 2016

Eye call test. I watch the games and numbers can be misleading.

which isn't going to happen. WHY would vancouver make this deal?

Maybe your Seals would take him

exactly so kesler isn't coming to philly

I like Tanev, but no I wouldn't do that.

Couturier, likely, won't ever reach rfa. Flyers rarely let players reach rfa. Schenn is the first in a long time.

The problem with Schenn is his ELC was weird and his numbers suggest a better player than he was. There isn't a person on earth who would take Schenn over Couturier. In reality, Couturier is much more important than Schenn.

Maybe if Hextall is not locking up Schenn he is waiting for an offer sheet ?

Maybe he would prefer the picks.

i still think luke can be a good player for us, but i'd much rather have kept jvr. word is that he's someone the leafs are willing to move, which i don't get at all.
- hammarby31

I read the players they want to keep are Kessel, Bozak, Bernier and Rielly. Everyone else is for sale.

Bozak....really?

Not if you know how to use the rewind button.

I don't think they would care as long as they could drive up the price to payback for the Weber OS.

Bozak & Kessel are best friends

i'm not a cap expert but maybe hextall is trying to figure out where he fits in long term?

Nashville should be more concerned about making the playoffs before Shea Weber asks out

Most I'd do is go to the 2nd round pick max of 3.36. 1st rounder is a bit risky for the oilers

Would the flyers match at 3.35?

Yeah, they would; they can afford that and aren't so draconian that it would irritate them. If it gets to $4-5 million and a first-round pick is in play...I'm just a guy on a laptop but I would believe they might let him walk and take the compensation

Like schenn and VL. I just used the rewind button to watch some tape.

I know, but it was a big deal when Bozak was an UFA, (making Kessel happy)

They have enough problems, imagine pi$$ing off him off.
