If you go to union Jacks gotta pair those wings with a burger.

Those wings are legit

Try the wings at union jacks its about 5 minutes down the road from Keswick. The blue comet is a cool bar also.

Awesome.

Columbus is last in the league and Flyers are actually pushing for a playoff spot and still rebuilding for the future at the same time.

Situation probably would not be much different if Hartsy was still in Philly, but I'd bet they'd be closer than 5 points back. If you add in Hartnell's scoring ability (and admittedly you'd have to subtract his propensity for ill-timed, bad penalties, but I think the scoring qutweighs that) I don't think it would be going out on a limb too much to say that maybe they get some additional points out of some of the one goal/OT losses.

It is fun to debate, but realty is what it is. Philly has Umberger. They will have to deal with that as best they can.

Konecny will have to develop physically before he takes on the NHL for a year. Hope it happens quickly!

Konecny is around the same weight as Gerbe and Desharnais.

They are shorter...and men

Here is what I think Hextall was thinking.

A 32 year old power forward who plays a top 6 roll. 5 years left on his deal. What are the chances he continues to produce at a high level? If he does stop to produce, then where does he fit? Doesn't kill penalties. Not a strong defensive player. Not a terrific skater. Has a full NTC so he has say to where he wants to go.

In RJ I might be getting a roll player with 2 less years on his deal. This team isn't ready to compete for another couple years so I can handle a bottom 6 roll player. Hopefully he can chip in some scoring and also allows for young players to get a couple seasons in the AHL. Also lets guys like Schenn, Couturier, Simmonds take on a more prominate roll with the team.

Yes. They haven't got the production they wanted from Umberger. But Hextall was playing the odds.

seeded or plain

It was a flat out bad trade. Horrible. I'd gladly take Hartnell's scoring, levity, grit, leadership, and other intangibles back along with his cap hit and duration.

The signs were there on Umberger. Getting scratched regularly for underperforming on a bad Columbus team? That should have been a huge red flag.

Hartnell was (and still is in Columbus) a productive glue guy. At this juncture, Umberger is a guy you can replace with an AHL call-up. He is a stanp-up guy and the current reality may not be his fault. He was never fast and injuries have taken their toll on him. The reality at this point, however, is that Umberger is an overpaid mucker/grinder. Colin McDonald could come in and do the same thing at a better market value.

Hartnell has 17G, 18A, 35 P this year but also 85 penalty minutes. With how horrendous our PK has been, those penalty minutes could very well negate any good those goals would do. People always look at production but not other factors like goals against. Which was always my Cooter argument last year, while he wasn't putting up great scoring numbers, he was constantly prevent other teams best scorers from putting the puck in the net. So if Coots scores 15 goals but prevents another 15-20 (which I admit there is no real way to measure that) that really helps the team. Same with Hartnell, if those penalty minutes are all minors, that's 42 power plays for the other team, which at the team's current 78% average, is another 10 goals against the Flyers this year, probably more since another 42 PKs would probably lower our average they way they have been this year.
