I don't really know. I still think there is a decent chance he goes back to Tampa. How often do #1 centers at that age enter free agency? It never happens anymore.
- PhillySportsGuy

I don't think it's ever happened, at his age -- FA has only been this way for I think...seven years now? Before it was 31, then 28 maybe?

Now, eight years of service time...he is definitely a test case

What's with the ouch? You're getting stamkos... Its like saying you get to bang mila kunis but have to walk across some broken glass barefooted first, no crying, no ouchies!
Edit: they can take (frank)ing vinny back too!

Ha! True -- JFC, can you imagine the PP with that bastard pumping on one-timers?

Dear Lord

Course

How do you create the cap room to re-sign him?

Three of your centers are going to be Giroux, Stamkos and couturier. You have ghost making the argument that he's a top pairing guy already, and the goal situation is rather good these days.... Good god

Without capgeek idk
But there had to be some trash we can clear

I won't lie: I miss the days where they Flyers straight-up out-talented squads

There were some lean years in the early 90s. But for most of my life, the Flyers just out-talented teams, and I miss that

So just get it done then worry about the details later?

They gotta be working the phones on that one. Can we get a sign out in front of snider's house, Hey Ed, stamkos is available for trade!

One note of caution. Stamkos vastly underachieved in the biggest test of his career - in the playoffs last year...if he had got going, TBL lift cup. Its not just that he scored 1 point its that he was ineffectively completely.

ps: Our shut down line getting ass-raped.

This is stupid

Coots.....hold the guys in the green jerseys

Yea, you're getting a guy that scored 60 goals at 21 and you're talking about gutting the roster of a non playoff team.

Flyers are being schooled

Now see I'm (frank)ing furious

If that's the stars that puck rolls in
If that's the stars it's not a goalie interference penalty it's an interference penalty on us

Flyers are being schooled

They've been hanging on for a bit. Haven't liked the penalty calls, but ultimately, the Stars are in another weight class at the moment

It should be at least 5 or 6 -1.

After they get the back breaking 3rd goal here in the last couple minutes, I guess I'll go back to studying.

Flyers are competing, but they don't have the legs. The Stars are a much faster and more skilled team with all things being equal. Flyers are playing back to back and 3 in 4 nights, against a rested team. Probably going to get worse in the 3rd.

Why isn't Macdonald playing

Yeah...I was hoping against hope they could steal a point, but that is gonna be a steep hill to climb to even do that

Flyers only attempted 8 shots in the entire period.
