Thank god Brown is back to save the PK.
- SuperSchennBros

Have you heard the PK % before and after his injuries? Guy might bring back a first rounder with that kind of impact. Work the phones Fletch!

They are apparently negotiating with his North American agent. He'd come over for next season. I'd pump the brakes a little on setting expectations too high if he does.
He'll get a look. But he could just as easily end up having a Niko Hovinen experience over here as he could be a late-blooming NHLer. I still think Ersson is the Flyers' best goalie prospect below the NHL level. Unfortunately, he's missed most of this season due to twice-recurring groin issue.

I really can’t comprehend how every single prospect seems to be injured at some point and usually a significant injury. There seems to be an entire roster that have lost entire seasons lately.

The fact that those two morons said we were 2-3 pieces away at the press conference a month back is pitiful.
- ClaudeFather


They didn't lie though...1 elite center, 1 elite top pair center and 1 elite goaltender.

They could be 3 players away if those players are LeClair, Desjardins and Svoboda ca 1995... or Timonen, Hartnell and Briere ca. 2007. Short of that, it's likely rather over-optimistic.

Kolosov has looked pretty decent for a 20 year old. I still think the Flyers should trade Sandstrom so he could go the Bob route.

I think the season weighs on Provy, especially since our Dcore is so dreadful. He looked much better earlier this year.
- ClaudeFather


It's not just this year, it's multiple years weighing on him. Some players are the cause and some are victims. Provorov is a victim in my opinion as a figure of speech.

They're going to be subtracting Giroux. They need more than that.

And the 2006-07 team subtracted Forsberg. Mind you, there was more to build around, at least at forward.

McDavid, Hedman and a witch doctor for Ellis. Seems simple enough.

If McDavid just appeared on the Flyers...same team currently, no cap requirements to fit him in...I really don't think they would be much better, winning wise.

They need a LeClair/Desjardins in the worst way, but there's no 26-yo Recchi to trade.

There are some very good FA's available if the Flyers can clear some cap space.

I'm all in on Klingberg.

Given how things have been this season and with his history, I'm half jokingly saying he'd be comatose.

I like Klingberg. I am not willing to spend big money on him.

This isn't the time to be heavy hitter in the free agent market.

They could go with this next season on D:

Provy - Klingberg
Sanheim - Ellis
York - ?
