Since the Flyers cap issues have been overblown, I expect them to just go on a UFA shopping spree come season end. Just pluck the top available guys. Problems solved.

you should be able to pick up Brian Strait off waivers, he's only 600k for the next two years after this one I believe. (don't do it.)

Outside of maybe Ceci, there's not one I'd be happy to trade Brayden Schenn for.
- Jsaquella


I'd like Ceci but might be tougher to pull the kid as he played his junior hockey also in Ottawa & that's his hometown

NBCSN&Y has the Blues and Avs at 8pm, that means Doc and Regis again, huh?

Don't really see what the point would be. Lose a top 6 forward to gain another 2nd pairing guy. Everyone seems to think we have this forward depth when we really are a one line and PP dependent team. Schenn is a younger cheaper effective forward.

Ceci has the potential to be a top pair guy some day. The tools are there, he's just got to figure out has to best use them.

I don't know a lot about Ceci, but if you dealt Schenn for a 21 year old defenseman, it's because you think he has a high upside. One of the reasons for the Flyers lack of consistent scoring from lines other then the Giroux line is due to the mix of players, rather then the lack of depth.

To the Flyers I mean, a la Giroux in '08.

(was just a joke anyway)

- Tomahawk


He's hurt anyway. Morin would be the likely emergency guy too

Not sure about top-pair, but he does fit a lot of the needed criteria:

- young,
- smart,
- two-way,
- right-handed,
- skilled,
- mobile.

Got a feeling Hagg should get a two-day bag packed

picked 15th overall, playing almost 20 minutes a night as a 21 year old, plays the PP and the PK, good size, good wheels.

I think he's got the potential to be, not that he's a lock. He's looked good as a 21 year old, playing a lot of minutes.

Yup.

You think OTT would trade him tho? They don't have much in the pipeline. You'd think to get him Hexy would have to send over one of our better D kids along w/ whatever top-6 forward they'd be sacrificing.

Doc was horrible the other night. "Simmonds tripods the puck..."

we were all like... "WTF did he just say? He's just making words up now."

It'd probably have to be a bigger deal, built on B. Schenn for Ceci. I doubt they'd do it, I agree with OB that Cowan is the guy they'd shop.

I'd trade Luke Schenn for Cowan, maybe. Not Bryaden

Wasn't there a Sens fan on here a few weeks ago saying they'd do Vinny for Gryba and Greening? I'd totally do that, and the money makes sense for the Sens after July 1 -- Vinny's real salary lower than cap hit, opposite for Greening.

Oh yeah, Greening isn't good, but hes younger and cheaper...Gryba is another limited 5-6 guy, but he's not expensive

Agree with OB -- it'll be Cowen wh they try to move.

Won't be Ceci, though you gotta give to get if you are Ottawa

Schenn Bros for Ceci and Condra... I would do that

I honestly think that the team, as young overall as it is, gets sloppy in games where they aren't playing a rival.
- Isles_since_6

they sure as (frank) can get it up for the pens. damn good team assembled there.
