The only way I upgrade at forward is if its for a star forward that shoots first and thinks pass second. In other words... from what is available... Nash, Iginla, or Ryan. Anything less, and I would rather stick with what we have.

But yes, I think we need to upgrade defense too. Maybe that deal between ANA and TOR and Philly are still going on.

To Toronto:
Voracek, Philly 2

To Philly:
Ryan, L.Schenn

To Ana:
JVR, Toronto 1, Philly 1

Toronto gets molested in that deal.

I'm not opposed to adding a veteran dman, but it depends on the cost. If it takes an overpayment I would prefer the Flyers keep their picks and young players.

I'd have to look at a draft list again but I think we have 2 seconds.

dominated? scoring chances were few and far between for each of the sluggish teams until the flyers carried the play in the third.
- OrangeBlack27

Should of said "controlling". I felt like the Jets carried the play more than the Flyers yesterday. The Flyers had their chances no question but for two periods they were outplayed by the Jets.

still trying to figure out how anaheim gets a pick from toronto there.

2112 on WMMR at 2pm, in its entirety apparently! The Vinyl!

Toronto isn't going to give up their #1, and Schenn for Voracek and the Flyers # 2.

I was sure the Jets were going to score in the OT.

Like the idea. Dont see Toronto giving up Schenn and a 1st to acquire Voracek and a 2nd rd pick.

Philly rapes both teams 2 teams in one night.

Say what you guys will about Jeff Carter, we could use a guy like him right now. In the area of face offs and being a pure shooter. Too bad this guy can't stay healthy at the moment.

I believe the second round pick is Florida's choice, this year or next.

Well then maybe its JVR going to toronto and Voracek going to Anaheim....

I was sure the Jets were going to score in the OT.

You and everybody else.

If thats the case why not just trade Schenn and a 1st for Jvr and a 2nd? Who needs Anaheim.

One of the more amazing things about Giroux's status among the league leaders in points is that he starts almost 55% of his shifts in the DEFENSIVE zone. No other league leader starts there more than 46% of the time.

Here's a simple chart that shows how many shifts each of the league's leading scorers have taken in the offensive zone:

Little hit the post in overtime, too bad he didn't in the shootout as well.

I don't like Schenn. I would love for the Flyers to get their hands on Ryan.

so what's the word on the street about trades

holy crap sedins. that vigneault is smart.

edit: would be nice if someone else on our roster could win a d-zone draw. maybe take away some of g's hard minutes.

They were swarming more than the shot count in OT would indicate.

Manny Malholtra is the ultimate wing man. I think he's at 13% of offensive zone starts. LOL

Been clamoring for that 3rd/4th line center that can pick up those minutes/face-offs.
