Nate is faster. Extra 50,000

And considerably younger believe it or not compared to Thornton!

The curse of the Flyers young and promising prospects continues! Sigh ...

He's 19 and it's August. He'll be back playing before you know it.

No need to have this conversation again. We disagree and that’s fine.

There was no need to have it the first time.

RIP Jay...his book, Full Spectrum is a great and very detailed read of Flyers History.

RIP Jay. One of the better writers, If you are on these message boards you likely have already read Flyers at 50 and Full Spectrum, but if you have not they are absolute musts, Great facts, details and history that bring the fanbase to a whole new level. Maybe Jay makes the Flyers hall one day......................

Thornton likely wants to play for a team that he views as a contender. Flyers aren't looking for points from that spot. They want a defensive checking center who can help the PK. That's not Thornton.

This should be Hayes and Couturier.

Seems like we have a lot of pk players now.

Hayes
Coots
Laughton
Lindblom
Atkinson
Farabee
Guessing g gets less min here.
Thompson if he’s in.
Tanner has promise.

Wonder which vet left will the islanders sign. Lou always seems to work his magic.
- Peter Richards

I wouldn’t doubt Lou and Parise link up again.

Bill, you did a great job honoring your friend. Very sorry for your loss.

Wonderful Tribute, Bill! Condolences to the Greenberg family as well as you and all his colleagues. Always enjoyed Mr. Greenberg’s works, especially Full Spectrum and Flyers at 50! He did a wonderful job writing about hockey and covering the Flyers. Rest In Peace.

Well said!

When Jay wrote, I would respond once in a while. To his credit, he often answered in his own unique style, injecting his brand of humor. I’ll always remember that.

As I mentioned in the main post to Bill, it’s his honor to fill the space Jay occupied. I have no doubt, Bill will be just as revered as Jay, if he isn’t already.

RIP Jay!!

Obviously I sincerely hope you are right. But geez, these shoulder injuries can be career ending if serious enough. We've seen it so many times. Its really feels like a curse on these poor kids!
