My first time at spectrum I was like 11 and the Flyers had a brawl against the Nordiques....fantastic...I barely remember that.

The oldest game that I can remember in any detail was vs Detroit in '73. The Flyers pasted the Wings 12-2 with Macleish and Nolet both scoring hat tricks.

Shut up and get off my lawn!!!

Damn kids!

I'm not in love with too many of the free agents. What would it realistically take to get TJ Oshie here. Think he would really really help this team.

I don't see any player that excites me....maybe that's a good thing.

Eric Fehr would be a solid pickup, depending on cost.

I'd like oshie too, but he plays RW and can play center, two positions that we don't need right now. Plus I think the asking price will be waaaay out of hextall's and philly fan's price range.

Blues have said they won't make any significant deals that add cap until tarasenko is signed. That being said schenn hagg or cousins and a 2nd could be enticing? Oshie is not the hero everyone makes him out to be he's a 2nd line right winger with shoot out prowess. But his cap hit isn't bad for a 2nd line capable of 20/30 stat lines either

Armstrong is an idiot saying that edmonton amd him were discussing 16th overall and one significant player for shattenkirk... like what !? Look at his trade history it's horrifying. Well before the Miller fiasco

The only things I want them to still do in free agency is re-sign MDZ and sign a back up goalie.

Nothing more needs to be done, IMO

Unless we move out umberger AND Vinny we don't have room for anything else. Move 1 we push either bellemare vv or white to 13th man. Which doesn't matter to me. Move zero we have 13 and Vinny or umberger has to play. I still think hextall has cards he hasn't shown yet

Oshie would be great if all the games were still decided by shoot outs....I don't mind him....at least he can skate.

True....the Flyers still may have some trades today....I think there's more likely hood in that.

Agreed, though I don't think the trades come today, more likely later in the month as some teams strike out in FA.

Second that. Check back look at the contracts handed out every couple hours. Than thank god holmgren is no longer gm

Allow the Vegas investors to buy the Coyotes, add two new expansion teams, with the Yotes moving to Vegas

So they can fail again.

I agree. I think a guy like Schenn might become attractive when a team misses on a FA. Oilers want defenseman and if they don't get Phaneuf or maybe a FA they want then maybe Schenn or MacDonald or someone becomes a fall back option.

Well I feel a little more optimistic with hextall. People never thought we would move Pronger's deal or even Grossmann. Hell people never thought Rinaldo would get us a 3rd rounder.

Crazy question. There is speculation that Vinny won't "mutually terminate" after today's payment in order to hang on for another year, are the Flyers allowed to sweeten the deal and maybe pay him next year's $550k this year just to get him off the books?

FWIW:

Peter Tessier wrote the below,

Last night I had a message from some one who knows the Flyers well and said Hextall has an offer for either Buff or Engstrom on the table. The offer was unclear but it did involve Amac as the 'favour' in the deal with other pieces. A second source said they had heard of 'talks' between the club. So take that for what it's worth, wild speculation based on some iffy info. That's not a shot at the sources just a reality check on the evidence presented. I always like getting this info because that's the fun in all of this and let's just remember- it's supposed to be fun.
