If Myers is available, I really hope the Flyers are in on it.

I dont know why people are all shook that were trading coots. I just dont see any scenario where we trade him, unless its a ridiculous return. IMO schenn goes before him in any big trade. Tired of all the speculating & rumor mongering, lets get this party started!

Anybody heard anything on the Cap number for the upcoming season yet?

Last i saw 68mil which has people really upset. I am guessing somehow it will get up to 70-71 for the season.

Lamoriello will only crumble when exposed to sunlight like all other ancient vampires.

Lou will likely come out and announce the re-signing of Ilya Kovalchuk right after they make the pick the NHL gifted back to the Devils that they totally don't deserve.

NHL will then take their 2015 pick which will turn out to be McDavid

The options don't seem as slim as I thought to fill the Hartnell hole next to Giroux. Iginla might be out there, Kane Etc. With trading going down the way they are, things seem promising.

I'll bet the Sedin twins are very happy right now.

Just saw the Vinny and a second for Upshall rumor.




man, we really could suck next season.

- MBFlyerfan

I agree. I'm still deflated by the Hartnell deal but things might be looking up.

Wow, now THAT is a weak return.
- jmatchett383


I wish the Flyers had been able to match that. If they could've gotten a 2nd for Grossmann and flipped the pick for Garrison they would be much improved.

Blew their load already with AMac... otherwise the chance to get a better player locked into a better contract for the same trade price would have been there.

Both deals so far today I get more of an "EH" feeling. Nothing that makes my jaw drop. Makes me feel like we might be able to make a move without moving a ton or huge assets

Told the Coyotes are strongly considering buying out Mike Ribeiro. The veteran forward is under contract through 2016-2017. Not official.


Yay, another C possibly on the market.

I'd move back in the draft, and use that capital to unload Lecavilier. Honestly, I like these guys but I just don't see any huge change between the players we're looking at around 17 and say around 30. "C'mon teams, move up and all you need is to take a guy who scored 20 goals in half a season, quarter of it on the fourthline."

I don't mind taking a hit to move Vinnie, and this draft ain't That impressive, that I need to pick someone at 17 versuses say, 30th.

Just an idea.
