Will he even play if Giroux is ready?

I think the question is if Giroux will play if Rinaldos healthy

Which begs the question...is Rinaldo healthy?

The roster move the Flyers are making to fit Ryan White on the roster is....to put Ryan White on waivers so they can send him to the AHL

Lol, love it.

He had to be waived to be sent down, conditioning stint was only good for 3 days or games, one or the other. Had to do something.

Wonder if he got his hopes up.

I think it's time to start selling, or at least seriously gauging the value of players on the roster and changing the mix to better evaluate some of the guys Berube has buried in the press box.

Seravalli posted this, in his latest article on the Flyers on Philly.com

http://www.philly.com/phi...ers_in_no-man_s_land.html

The numbers say the Flyers (14-18-7) need to go a sobering 28-11-4 for just a 50-50 shot at making the playoffs, according to SportsClubStats.com. Even that might not get them in.

How hard is it to make up ground in the standings? Ask the Blue Jackets. They were 12 points out of a playoff spot in November. After a 9-1-1 run, they were nine points back. Grabbing 19 out of an available 22 points got them a net of three points.

Does even a 9-1-1 run for a team that gave up four or more goals in five out of eight games on this road trip sound like one the Flyers are capable of making?


So, in other words, the Flyers basically have to win at a .750 clip for the rest of the season to even have a shot at the playoffs. I can't see it happening, can you?
- Jsaquella

it's not happening. fork. already stuck.

Bryan Allen on waivers... there you go teams that would be interested in Nik Grossmann... you can have one for free.

FWIW, in a series of tweets Carchidi reports the following:

Good: Gostisbehere has begun skating.

Meh: Hextall says he is close to making moves, be it a trade or call up

Meh: When a fan asked Sam what he thinks is up, he replied Trading Coby (Coburn)

Hextall says the season is "on the players" and not Berube. He also said he is very close to point where moves will be made toward future

Yay!! Chief staying!

Nah, that's the GM kiss of death.

I'll believe that Hextall really feels Berube's not at fault on some level when he gives Chief an extension

of course he wants chief to stay! The longer he stays the higher lottery pick!

This means we will be dangerously close to not leading the league in dudes named "Braydon/Brayden" anymore.

well this is encouraging "moves will be made toward future"

- Jsaquella

My guess is Chief isn't getting an extension, but he isn't getting poopcanned either.

Do we know when Berube's contract is up? Somehow, I vaguely remember this year being the first of a two year deal.
