OK, I'll trade you stud defenseman Luke Schenn and his tough as nails brother Brayden for the untalented James van Riemsdyk and the horrible fat guy Phil Kessel

Does that include Kessel's free car from the All Star game?

Done, and you can keep Luke though.

But he's awesome.

Not that I see. I think Rosehill will be the 13th guy, Rinaldo is probably a lock. I'm guessing Bellemare will be around, probably Akeson, too.

Huh. Maybe Alderson can make it difficult for them to send him down, but I doubt they'd want him as the 13th...so he'd have to beat out Bellemare, Akeson, maybe Jones? Laughton needs to pick it up a bit, perhaps?

I liked what I saw of Alderson, as far as physical tools -- good size, good skating stride. Curious to see if he can make himself fit

Where's 2Real? Brent Burns just scored on a filthy wrister on the PP

I could see Alderson making it if Akeson falters. But I think the Flyers carry Akeson st the start to avoid losing him for nothing out of camp

Alderson has don nothing but help his chances, at least from what I saw. Big frame, good speed for his size, strong, questionable hands, but not a big issue as a 4th liner.

He's sending a mad e-mail to Troy Vincent for not suspending the guy that leveled his hetero lifemate Nick Foles

Troy doesnt want to be percieved as showing his form team any favoritism, unlike Shanahan or Campbell

Huh. Good luck to the kid -- hard to make it as an undrafted player, but he's got tools, it seems to me

He looked really good in the game in London.

Though that was a BS ruling, I do agree

Based on the rules, it's a valid call. Flat out says you can't hit the QB.

But the hit pissed Foles off and they went down and scored to take the lead

If that line holds up, they're gonna lead the league in scoring

Well, they get Johnson back after next week. Peters is playing, Herremanns is playing. They'll miss Kelce, but they have 3/5th of the line back soon, and by week 10 or so they might get Mathis & Kelce back.

Holy poop. i just provided football analysis

Sounds like Jordan Staal has a pretty significant injury...wonder if McDavid likes BBQ?

Buffalo's bad, but Carolina's sneaky bad -- like you look at the roster and you fool yourself into thinking they might get 75-80 points, then you look again and you say "whoa"

Yeah, me too. I'm crowd sourcing twitter for cheap calendar making programs and debating passing out on the couch instead of walking to bedroom while wife watches her shows

I can see it -- I mean, no matter how it gets sliced, somebody's picking first and in the top five, so somebody's not having a good season who's hoping they will.

As always, you never want that to happen to your favorite team, but it will happen

Philly up 2-0 yesterday against mainly Leafs prospects/AHLers: "Wow our team is amazing, Flyers are beasts this year, omg Simmonds pls have my babies!!!"

Tonight: "Leafs are a joke, they beat an AHL Flyers team, plan the parade"

Spot on.

Actually, If MDZ and Ghost pan out in their roles this season I could definitely see them come knocking for AMac next year. Their D is, and has been a wreck.
