What exactly is a "well-placed source" does it mean it all depends on how deep up you're rear you reach to pull these rumors out ?

When insulting someone it's best to check that you don't look dumb by not understanding the difference between "your" and "you're."

Ek doesn't care about logic, he's got sources....

Hopefully, the Flyers care about logic.Due to organizational incompetence, they're still paying Bryzgalov.

This is completely ridiculous. The Penguins don’t have the cap space or young assets to make deals like this happen

Any news on the Andreas Johnsson offer sheet yet Ek?

Rumours are starting to circle that Ennis is looking for 6.5-7m on an extension. You hearing what I'm hearing?

Murray, Brassard, etc. They have a lot of 3-4 mil/year guys that they can trade BUT... who will bite.

The Flyers & G Quick makes no sense based on Carter being 2 years (or sooner) away from NHL.

Here’s a bold win now Fletcher trade which may also help Stan keep his job in Chicago (if all players waive NMCs)

To Philly: G Crawford, D Keith, C Anisimov

To Chicago: G Stolarz, C Frost, D Sanheim or Myers (D MacDonald & C Lehtera added for salary cap reasons)

I tuned into the game last night after coming home late from golf and after dealing with everything, I just watched the last two minutes.

Oh my God, this team can't win.

Two min and a two goal lead? Is this the NHL? Can you guys ice the puck.

Provo's break-away was good but 3 on 3 in OT means they are going to be SCREAMING back at you. And when push comes to push - Stolie needs to make a save. That's your job. One of three in three minutes.

Those road points are SO important especially when you've been kinda sucking it like the Flyers have.

If the Quick trade rumors are true - they would be well served with him. He's very good. The Kings win with him and lose without him. It is pretty evident. Perhaps trading somebody like Sanheim and picks might get the deal done? I hate to trade Sanheim but you GOTTA pay to get a goalie.

Comcast is reporting about a proposed St. Louis trade with Tarasenko and Pieterangleo (sp). I can't see them getting both but the D-man can play both sides of the ice for $6m-ish I am in for that if there is a deal to be done. Provo and Ghost get better with someone like him to lead.

Smith blew the Flames chance to unload him to Philly last night... maybe that was his intention??? Geez he sucked in the second period, then mysteriously he was hurt, so that he had a reason why he let in that fourth goal (which should be a nominee for worst goal let in by a goalie this year so far...)

So, the Flyers are going to trade for a 33 yr/old ,35, and an injured 30 (totalling $16M in cap hit) with a 24 yr/old, 19, 22/21 - less than $2M (add a 32/30 for $4.7-5M)... I don't care who the players are, this is a horrible trade idea. Frost, Sanheim and Myers have the potential to be stars in the league (not superstars, just stars). And, all this for what is essentially rentals. These Hawks all have there best years behind them.

This is absolutely absurd can’t you even come up with something that might be even a little bit believable? I mean wow holy poop. Hey let’s trade our young guys and good prospects for your old guys who make a ton of money and for one who just had a concussion.
Brilliant armchair GMing. You probably lose in trades even in NHL 2018 video game.

If Fletch trades for Quick then Homer should fire his azz immediately.

Are you the one that constantly posts "FlyerBuzz"? Why open up the thread, why waste your time posting this... So, you want more articles about the Islanders? Many could say, "No one cares about the Islanders". Just look at the daily posts - the Flyer threads always has many more posts than most other teams, with a few exceptions (Leafs). Ek covers the entire NHL, but since he sits in Philly - of course he is going to hear more about the Flyers. Get over it.

It really depends on the deal, doesn't it. Quick is an upgrade to any of the goalie we have... The only issue that I see is the length of his contact - through 22-23 - which may interfere with Hart's career path. But, if Quick can play 1A for two years, and move to back up for Hart... That might work. Or just trade or demote Quick in two years. He is 32 right now... not young.

Hi Ek.
- gergeswillems


LOL, nope just a Flyers fan that wants Ek to report everything he hears about the Flyers. I get the feeling that he may hold back, because of criticism leaning to black/orange. Hey, this site is fun for the chatter. Understandably, most is BS or just won't ever work out. I think people forget that.

So the penguins add Quick and Parayko ? Over 10 mil. Where are they finding the cap space?
- Psenerch


You didn't hear - Bettman has a clause in the CBA that Pitt can be over the cap line.....
