I just can't see the Flyers making any noise in the playoffs. That's if they even get there. But I said this back in 2010 too and they got to the SCF vs Chicago. Stevie will be quite active leading up to the deadline. Should be great. 👍

Philly has been a head scratcher. So many times they start bad and finish the season strong trying to get in. All the pieces just don’t seem to work at the same time. Good goaltending, scoring dries up etc.

An example is that Tampa needs help at RD, and Z's contract might help them to acquire that! Z can retire on a Stanley Cup champ then! (maybe)
Wheras Datsyuk retired as a Yote (from the NHL)

Man the Coyotes have had some legendary players over the years. Pronger, Hossa, Datsyuk. They must've been an absolute powerhouse back in the day.

That’s definitely not how LTIR works.

Can't do it in season?

But the Wings could still utilize Z's LTIR if they brought back some pricey Vets. Yes?

No. This is not how LTIR works. Trading Z in season helps nobody.

Just doesn’t apply to Tampa’s situation.

Yes but they have tons of cap space so they would have to take back a ton on contracts for that to be necessary.

If they all dump their UFA's here for picks....it's only money that the Wings are out. They are 1 of 8 clubs that can afford this.
Chicago has even more space, but maybe only for this year.
