We'll have another goalie soon, other than that I'm not sure what you want him to do.
If he quietly takes the #2 pick. Packs up and goes home...
Sounds good to me.

It's probably fair value. 7 and an up and down talented but unhinged d man for a very low end 1C and someone who could be their starting goalie. But you'd think Arizona would've kept the pick.....they're clearly wanting to start moving ahead with the rebuild, but is it the right move? Arizona has so many talented center prospects. Directive from new owner?

With their comments following the lottery, I would imagine they view this draft very unfavorably. It does seem like they're going to try and be an NHL team this year though.

He could replace all of Niklas Hjalmarsson's blocked shots AMIRITE?

when it comes to the #2 pick, I hope people are not only sitting on hextall's hands, they flat out lock him in the closet.

well they easily got (frank)ed the hardest out of all the teams...still think its a bit of an overpay, but oh well. stepan and raanta are two good players

edit: I want to add that the move is probably also clearing salary for Shattenkirk

This team has been the same boring, mediocre team since Jagr left.

It's Giroux, Simmonds, Vorachek and 12 Matt Reads on offense. It's been long enough. Do something other than sit idly by and settle for whoever New Jersey passes on.

Would it be harder to play against 12 Matt Read sized horses or 1 horse sized Matt Read?

Rags unload Stepan and his 6.5 cap hit. Dude is (frank)ing shot.

Why is MacDonald still on the Flyers roster??

At the current moment, where does the Flyers goaltending situation rank??
Can't wait for the answers!

Bite your tongue, sir. I haven't listened to sports talk in this town in about five years. It is an accomplishment I am very proud of.

Stepan had 55 points, was a strong possession player and is 26 years old. WTF are you talking.
