Cuckles exhausted himself talking to the press yesterday, so he’s taking a personal day today.

There will be plenty of time tomorrow for him to get fleeced on the JVR deal and swap Braun for a Golden Corral gift certificate.

JVR will be in the lineup tonight. Seven D, 11 F with Lycksell and Bellows both being scratched. Hart, as expected, starts.

Anyone else feel like this is a game a game of musical chairs and we’re watching flyers like the fat kid knowing he’s not getting a chair when the music stops ?

Flyers next 11 games are against teams above them in the standings without TK. Not going to be pretty.

A second tenure that was a failure for Van Riemsdyk. Zero 50 point seasons in Philadelphia. Funny how he had 4 such seasons in Toronto.

JVR healthy playoff scratch during both stays. Hard to believe for a # 2 overall pick. Then again the Flyers drafted Patrick second. He made JVR look like Gordie Howe.

I do wonder what Sanheim's value would have been if he was not extended. Never know, but unlike the extensions of Laighton and Risto, Sanheim was finished by October.

Estimate his value would have been about two Tanner Jeannots, so that's at least 10 picks and 2 prospects.

Guerin should be on the phone trying to get Seeler for Merrill.

11 F, 7 D missing the best scorer in the lineup is a rather interesting move. I'm all about draft position at this point, so I approve.

Getting close to playing. High ankle sprain can take a long time to heal.

JVR was a healthy scratch as a rookie. Not in 2011 or 2012 playoffs.

His 2020 playoff run was a disappointment.

Munchos are definitely underrated.

Underrated as what? Firestarter? Stuff to throw at seagulls?

At this point who cares. I think he is at the bottom but Chuckles does something even stupider. Why 7D just to get Braun in a game? Is Lycksell or Bellows hurt? Nope.

I have always stated and believed he will be a late day trade, if at all. Could he have been moved already? That is the question
- hello it's me 2050


Trades are pretty tough. It’s tough being a GM.

No, I think they're both ready to move on.

Then someone needs to tell that incompetent buffoon that’s it’s time get a trade completed….unless he finds it to tough.

Trades are to tough to make. Unless the Wild are prepared to part with Future considerations….then no deal.

Why would Fletcher want to trade out some of these guys? The last 3 years have gone great….the idea now is to “nibble” at the problem he’s responsible for? What could go wrong?

"rebuilding", wants to "play" the young guys. Yet Ollie sits. All about the actions, not the lip service.

Really shocked no national media guys don't run any stories on how this once great franchise as slipped to the worst in the league.

Not the type of player Torts tends to like and, arguably, is an NHL/AHL tweener ala David Kase.
