8 x $6.5m extension for Schenn in St Louis.

Meanwhile Lehtera is the KHL, and FaraFrost are in the AHL.

seems like a good deal for both the team and player.

is the line up out?

any reporting on the lines from practice yesterday?

Yep, we traded Schenn for 2 career AHLers.

Technically this is true.

Since they're both playing in their first full pro seasons and beginning in the AHL, yes, on a technicality this is true. This was also how Claude Giroux began his career.

I, however, don't expect that to remain the case. Guess I'm just wearing the orange tinted glasses since I don't think this is the worst trade ever.

I'm excited for this team being competitive this year and challenging for the division!
- FlyerFan16

I really hope you're right!

Feels like I've said this before but ... time to flip the switch boys haha.

I’m also within the group of fans who doesn’t understand why Niskanen is on the Power Play. I am however very interested in seeing what the second unit will look like in game. I’m assuming Konency on left half wall, Provorov top of the umbrella, Niskanen on right half wall, Lindblom in the slot and Hayes in the crease?

I don't really understand why so many people are upset or perplexed over Niskanen being on PP2 over Sanheim. I like Sanheim and think he's going to be a good player, but it's not like Niskanen is a poor PP player. He's been a PP1or 2 player for the Caps for years.

Yes. That's a re do. Both frost and farabee are busts haha. Sarcasm

I just thought it was a funny comment.

I'm fine with this. I've been pretty happy with Niskanen so far. I'm willing to allow av to do what he thinks is best for the first 10 or 15 games. The status quo hasn't worked so do what you need to av.

Sanheim is hands down the better option right now on the PP. Might even be better than Provorov, although I think Provorov needs to be there to get better.

I'll take Hayes for 600K+ signed until 34 vs Schenn signed until 37.

Agree. Injuries will happen. I am interested to see Morin play games. His injury was unfortunate but now he’s here. Now I want to see if there’s more progression.
- Peter Richards

I think there is a lot of fake rage towards Hagg playing. It’s a toss up right now between the two.

I’ll take Claude Giroux at any price over Ryan O’Reilly but at the end of the day, their talent won a Cup and ours hasn’t.

Yeah. 8 for schenn is longer than I thought it would be.

No, no.

In this country we say HAPPY Opening Day.

HAPPY.

It's amazing how much better Debrincat has turned out after being taken out in his D+1 year due to a concussion from a crazy dirty headshot.

The real issue with the Flyers from 2016 was taking that bum Carter Hart in the 2nd round. He's only played 31 games while players from round 3-6 have all played more and are therefore better.

Based on what? His performance on the 2nd PP last year? At least 2 guys with NHL coaching experience disagree with you.

- SuperSchennBros

Yeah. To me he does his job as a sixth defenseman. Is young. Blocks shots and takes the body.

Niskanen being a Right shot helps. Flyers have an abundance of lefties in thier PP cast.

Yep, we traded Schenn for 2 career AHLers.

It's funny. We had a dearth of dmen for so long, now we have have quite a few young and solid guys so we are debating who should be in and out. Good problem to have imo because you know several will get injured.
