It’s hard to find enjoyment in any games while the flyers continue to play mind games with us

I wish I could be Hextall for one day and we would have Phillip Grubauer in net as the starting goalie next year. I said this last year, Grubauer or Raanta and Raanta is likely resigned in the desert as he has been offered a four year 20 mill offer despite being a ufa. I think he takes it. Mrazek is so hot and cold he is not the answer and Elliot been out so long I do not know what to expect. Forget about Neuvy unless you hope to get 20 mins injury free

One day is all it would take? How exactly would you be acquiring Grubauer?

If I was Hextall for one day, 1st I’d slap Dale Weise for being a heartless piece of crap. Then I’d slap Weise’s mom for having him and follow that with a two hander on Weise’s dad for knocking her up in the first place. Finally I’d slap myself for signing that tool to a 4 year deal.

Oh, and I’d can Lappy too.

First off you have to take the gems before they become gems, like Raanta was a prize only the Coyotes were able to see. Last year Grubauer, Raanta and Korpisalo were my targets and we got Elliot. Anyway with Samsonov arriving and Holtby signed long term Grubauer could have been had earlier despite being an rfa. He has clearly outplayed Holtby and every other goalie except one in the last 25 games meaning he is going to be tough to acquire. A smart GM would have tried to pluck Grubauer in the off season. Now depending on what happens this spring, it is possible Grubauer stays and Holtby is traded, we do know yet. To answer your question I would have negotiated hard to acquire Grubauer and if the price was right he would be a Flyer. I have 40 years of experience being an nhl gm in fantasy (laugh if you want, I do not care) I selected with the first pick in 1980 Denis Savard and the Habs took Wickehheiser, my keeper is no money but in money I won 18 grand in a five year period in money pools, not trying to brag but hey man I know my hockey and I know the Flyers need a goalie. Mrazek was a desperation move by Hextall and he is average but you need a guy who steals games and the potential to be great and that would be Grubauer, watch him sometime.

You stated that if you could be Hextall for one day you'd have Grubauer in net for next year. Now you're talking past tense. You didn't answer how you would go about acquiring him.

I don't care how long you've dabbled in fantasy hockey. Irrelevant.

I would want at least one quality young NHL ready forward back in any deal for Simmonds.

i was referring to specific actual players...as in someone you realistically think is out there and available.

Only a few games left to figure out if this team eats ass or if this team "eats ass".🤔

I would trade manning and gudas for nothing to the pens at some point whether in the nhl or AHL, the pens kids would start picking up bad habits from the wonder twins. It should only take 1-2 years before the twins destroyed all the pens young players. If I had to add a 1st round pick to make the deal I would.
