No one is really complaining about the MDZ signing. I think its more about the expectations for him.
- PhillySportsGuy


There should be no expectation because the Timonen injury screws everything up.

That being said, training camp will be so interesting now.

They should have foreseen the pinky incident. Failure of the organization to endorse Spiritual Corsi Ms Cleo stats has set them back for years.

It will. I look forward to watching the preseason. It will be fun watching the young defenseman.

Yep, it's a one year deal. if he can't rebound, you let him walk. If the team is struggling and out of the playoffs and he's not in the future plans, they might be able to dump him at the TDL.

And if he does rebound and play like he did a couple years ago, he could be a pretty nice reclamation project

- Jsaquella


With teams like philly these deals are perfect. The flyers could be in or out of a playoff Spot by the trade deadline. If they are in and MDZ is playing well then great. If they are out trade him for a pick from a te desperate for some offense on the back end.

Way too predictable. I assume Cobie has all sorts of nose accidents we never read about.

It's gotta come out of left field like....oh....grabbing a cop's ass on Canada Day or getting hurt in a street hockey game.

True, but could you complain if the final destination was McDavid?

Exactly. And if he's playing great, Flyers might have the inside track on re-signing him.

Sucks that it took such a bad health situation to Timonen to give him a shot. This is Timonen's second incident with blood clots, after Vokoun missing last season, you have to wonder if he's at the end of the road as a player.

Is he really a train wreck defensively or is it being exaggerated?
- PhillySportsGuy

Exaggerated. He finished 12 in Norris voting a few years ago.

What's up with masons broken finger? Is he going to be ready for camp? Philly should just shut down their players for the offseason. Girouxs injury golfing last year. The Giroux getting arrested. Now mason breaking his finger playing air hockey.

He's expected to miss two weeks of off ice training and be ready for camp.

Don't forget Voracek totaling his Ferrari a few years ago...it's always Exciting in Philadelphia

You should have read the whaling and gnashing of teeth after the Giroux thing.

"He should not be allowed to go back to Canada!!!"

Because....you can't ever get hurt or in trouble in a big city like Philadelphia...

Of course, the assumption is that they'd find a way to lose the lottery and end up w/ Eichel instead -- the Malkin to our Crosby.
