Egg on Fletcher's face for acquiring 2 nobodies! They rather should stay Pat - bulet13

He called Ek's "Kane and Keith could be moved" post for what it was... click bait. |

Carolina really loaded up today, but didn't address the goalie situation. Two Dmen and Trocheck is impressive. - arichardson22
Quantity does not mean quality
The only good player they got was Trochek. The two d-men arent good. I would argue both are worse than Braun |

Good. You happy with the moves? - tangent_man
I’m happy they didn’t do anything drastic. The team looks good right now. You know I’ve been down on the coaching choices for a decade and a half. Vigneault was the key signing this year for me. Of all the players moving at the deadline Pageau intrigued me. After he was moved I’m glad we weren’t involved.
Teams can win a cup. This is as close to that kind of team as they've had in a decade. I can watch entire games without kicking a case of beer. It’s the end of the season and I’m actively looking for tix.
How about you? |

You're absolutely right. I'm hoping this is a classic case of "overloading" and the players don't find any chemistry and hurts the team somehow. You can't hide bad goal tending for long either, despite the emergency goalie win lol |

After Ek posted the rumor that Kane was available, the CBJ blogger changed his title to "Patrick Kane CLICKBAIT" and was subsequently removed. |

But they didn't add two 4th liners. Canes are today's deadline losers. |

Here's one hilarious quote
"I wouldn't say I'm always on social media, but I'm amazed at how often I'm trading him. I like Shayne. We were certainly not looking to move him. Teams called me on him. Nothing really makes sense right now to move one of our Seven D" |

So we can now look at he adds, consider the talent and slot in which they play. Then compare the Flyers position players against our competition's position players. The Flyers have 6 pretty solid D, while other teams upgraded are they far and away from the Flyers top 6 now. We can do the same for the 12 forwards, yes there have been upgrades, more talent going to teams that are right there with the Flyers already. Then add in the long look, what is coming in the next 24 months. For the Flyers you have Frost, Farabee and Patrick lets say. I think the Flyers will have plenty of options down the lineup, there will be more Pitlick and NAK types.
Was there a player that moved today that would have made the Flyers a cup contender? Was there a combination of moves that would have? I think Fletcher did the right thing, add some grit, keep the chemistry the same and move forward. |

Nice. Hockey deal only, nothing on the cheap.

2010 and 2012 were good teams. Contenders. I actually liked our team in 2014. |

This was the big one for me. Guys like Pageau and Kovalchuk may have helped them get into the playoffs and be a tougher out, but no one was a true game changer. I would have liked to try and do what Carolina did with Trocheck, though, |

2010 they made the playoffs on the last game of the season...calling them contenders is revisionist history because they went on a run in the post season
This years team is better than the 2010 team |

That 2010 team underachieved for most of the season and rode the duo of Michael Leighton and Brian Boucher to the Cup final. It was a fun team, and Chris Pronger was better than any player on the current team, but they were a case of being a bubble team and riding unsustainable goaltending on the way to the SCF. Again, they were fun, I liked them, but they just got hot at the right time (and were one OT goal away from losing in Round 2). |

I definitely think this year's team plays better as a team
That 2010 team underachieved for its talent, got Stevens fired. Richards may not have been miserable but he looked like it

When you lose to your own minor league zamboni driver, your franchise should cease operations. |
