I would even take Marty Straka, at age 42, over Zac Rinaldo.

Agreed. He'll I'd see if Podein was still in town before I'd dress Retardo

I'd trade Vinny for a bucket of donkey piss at this point, but no GM in the league would make that deal

Donkey piss? No....never.

Mule piss, though, might be up for grabs, though.

I mentioned it on twitter last night, but Eric Desjardins looks like he could still play.

This is unlike Lindros, Leclair, and Bundy, who all look like they haven't been skipping 50 cent wing night at their local taverns.

He was my hero, maybe if he hadnt torn the ACL he could have kept up and played into his 40's like Timmo and the other elite D.

But the new rules with no impeding the forecheckers make me realize, he would have had his shoulders and noggin messed up b4 the new head shot rules.

Wow could you imagine a reasonably healthy older Rico as the 3rd pair D helping to break in the newly drafted D as their partner......

Hmm maybe we can get Bundy to eat Vinny, Umberger and Rinaldo?

He made a statement, kind of in passing yesterday, that he wanted to still play, but remain a Flyer. That kind of tells me the Flyers were going to move on from him, and he didn't want to sign somewhere else.

Can someone explain how "Byfuglien" is pronounced "Buff-lin" and not "By-fug-lee-en? The letters aren't even in the right spot, not to mention the excessive letters.

I asked Jonathan Toews and Stan Neckar, but neither had a clue.

Nice thing to do for that kid, I am sure he will remember it.

Also like the line-up changes.

Getting stale with the Schenn brothers. Good riddance.

The Schenns for Boedker and some picks would be fine by me.

Arizona has two 3rds( theirs and Minne's).

While everyone gets their panties in a bunch over Rinaldo playing, mind you I dont think he should be, Im interested to see if Couturier actually does something now.

Hopefully having Jake and a better playing Read will now give him some threats so we can actually see what he can do offensively. Would be great for the future of this team if he can contribute offensively as we already know he is solid defensively.

I think I am done with Chief.
Rinaldo is back, how can he possible think that is a good idea? Is he really going to give him 10+ minutes of ice, because if he isn't then he is shorting the rest of the line.

Also, right now, I feel like this is a team with a group of guys who suddenly can't play the game. They didn't get here and all of the sudden forget what to do or where to be on the ice. Some of this has to be on the players for poor execution, but I am wondering how much of this is a poor plan.
If you execute a poor plan perfectly, you might survive. But if you execute a poor plan poorly or don't buy into the plan, you get a brush fire that turns into half of California up in flames.

right now, I think Chief is getting desperate.

as long as these new line combinations have a few games to make it work, not a couple of shifts.

Drouin is getting 8 mins in Tampa

Corpse and vinny play 12 mins and Rinaldo has worked hard to crack our depth once again

We're not far off guys

Doubt it. Boedker is the kind of guy that would be a great fit on the 2nd line. Reminds me a lot of where Jake was at before being dealt.

Maybe swap out one of the 3rds for a 2nd if you don't think its enough.
