I'm not so sure that Elliott will even be able to return this season, if ever. A month ago, they were talking about him being on the ice in a few weeks. Now it's what? Another few weeks? I have a feeling he really needs surgery and that his career is probably over, but he's trying to avoid the inevitable for as long as possible. It sucks, as he is a class guy, but it's the sad reality of pro sports. Odds are, as you age, something is going to break down.

Oh, no doubt. He can't be depended on, going forward, that's for sure.

BiggE, scan Bill's twitter feed there's a pic of your favorite of the Alumni!

LOL, I haven't been on twitter in over a year, I don't even remember my password.

Buyout
- Just5

No.

Just send him down to AHL. Maybe he wants a termination but no reason to buyout on the Flyers side

Per the latest Bill tweet, Elliot will make the next road trip and begin taking shots. Could be another 2-3 weeks.

I do recall though, when the injury first happened, I believe the timetable was only 2 weeks. Yeah, I would be shocked if he did not suit up again this year with the way this injury has gone.

please trade simmonds fletch. I can't watch another 4+ years of someone giving such little amounts of effort

I really wonder if Simmonds' relatively passive approach this season has been to preserve himself for his last chance at cashing in as a UFA.

It'll be fun to watch heads explode if they resign Simmer.

I'm calling it now: if they resign Wayne Simmonds, he will have a late career resurgence and win the Norris Trophy.

I'm fine with Simmonds, He's just not meant to be a 3rd line player. Put him on the 2nd line with a competent center that can get him the puck and he will produce at even strength. And hopefully his mean streak comes back.

- youarewrong

You don't think that Wayne Simmonds can win the Norris?

Win this game!

Let’s go Flyers!

There is no way they part with Coots, Patrick or Frost, nor should they. Myers and a center prospect like Rubtsov along with perhaps a late 1st that they could acquire in a Simmonds deal is likely the most they would offer. The Jets leverage is limited, as everyone knows he can go UFA the following season.
- BiggE

I agree with what you say would be the most they could offer and also think its fair but I don't think the Jets options are limited at all, 25 year old top pair right shot D are pretty sought after around the league and all you need is 2 teams interested. I think Detroit ( Trouba's hometown will be very interested as well this summer )

It'll be fun to watch heads explode if they resign Simmer.

at the right term I d be fine with it....I can think of quite a few guys that I would rather see go.

Dale Weise was never given a chance, he needs to play with an elite center to get him the puck...

Ivan Bustorov?
Travbust Konecbust?
Fraud Girbust?
Shayne Bustobear?
Sean Couturibust?

If it's true we are going to extend Simmonds and give him the term he is looking for, I will be dissapointed in fletcher

Lol Chuck just spoke with media and someone asked about Dale.

No hesitation goes, “Dale doesn’t have a future here. He won’t be part of what’s to come.”

fantastic. Clearing out another mistake. good riddance.

Buyout
- Just5

I’m hoping they don’t buyout Weise because I believe he has one year left and why deal with the penalty but I’m absolutely in favor of buying out Mac. I’ve just had enough.

Mr. Snider was a very bright individual who at one time also did not have a hockey background.

The article was not centered on Hextall.

It was an article about Scott. Why would it be centered around Hextall?
