If they can find someone to take him at 3.75 per, you have to move him. You can find a better 6th Dman for 3.75 or less

They cannot do that until the offseason

Bill said Hexy didn't want to send Gagner down.

He will probably come back up. It was done out of necessity and to hope someone claimed him. Didn't happen. I don't see AMac coming back up right now. There's still 7 d men.

I'm hoping Luke was in over Meddy because of an impending trade and that's all.

- Mononoke


If there was an impending trade shouldn't Luke have sat to prvent an injury ruining the deal?

Anyway, I agree that Gagner comes back up since that would give them the preferred 14 F - 7 D split. I don't think Weal is waiver exempt.

Of course, but I think teams would be more scared of the term rather than the actual amount. Vinny and Luke were able to bring back an actual asset because their deals won't carry over (assuming Vinny retires).

Weal-G-Jake
- PhillySportsGuy


He's a right handed center. Maybe move Laughts to wing. Or him at RW. Scratch RJ who has been playing RW.

Weal's scouting report sounds good: undersized but tenacious and skilled and fast in all 3 zones. Sounds like a good player to play with Laughton and Reader. Scorer at every level, even in his draft year. Akeson was basically a 20 year old when he put up his good junior numbers.

Are Clifford and Greene out for the year?

(and wtf, when's the last time you saw the Flyers w/ $4M+ of space in-season)

- Tomahawk


Greene is.

Clifford got elbowed in the face by Hedman a month ago and isn't even skating.

I like how you're continuing this conversation 30 min after he's been traded. Seriously. Rejoice. Let bygones be bygones

Not for now.

MDZ-Gudas
Schultz-Streit
Ghost-Medvedev
Manning

Then Alt can be called up after someone else is probably shipped. Then maybe AMac.

He isn't waiver exempt, so he's going to be with Flyers unless they want to attempt to sneak him to the Phantoms

Hexy is anal about losing guys to waivers. Frankly, this kid sounds a whole lot better than Manning or Porter. Feels like a high ceiling high floor (relatively) sneaky pickup.

This is the kind of trade you make and how you use a player like that who is not waiver exempt, and is a borderline NHL player. Why you don't sweat issues with a player like Alt not being waiver exempt.

Flyers trade Schenn and Lecavalier for Weal and a 3rd round pick. Flyers retain 50% on both contracts. There is talk from reliable sources such as Darren Dreger that Lecavalier is retiring after this season.
