CSN said something about a playoff game tonight?

Absolutely. And Couturier and Schenn both with expanded roles on scoring lines.
- MJL

And Betts and Nodl back on the roster since we all loved them so much we would get trolled for it by other Flyers fans.

Next year the first line will be Hartnell/G/Jvr

If Jagr is resigned he seems to have some mojo with Briere... although so does Simmonds and Schenn

Oh no. Hartnell looks like a drum majorette.

who the heck is next to Bryz... is that Coburn?

hard to talk commitment to a player who is going to be on the plus side of 40 years old next year....
- Buzzo

I dont think Giroux would hurt with another year with Jagr, and at worse I think the team could commit to play him with Briere on the second line... I don't think role or commitment would be a problem, the only problem is if they have enough money left in the honey jar, and I think if the Flyers say he will get 1st or 2nd line and PP and offer him 2.5, he takes it.

Laviolette

I think Jagr has been playing for several weeks at the level he was early in the season, actually, although the points haven't shown it. Also, part of his production drop in the second half was due to being moved off the first PP unit to the second.
- bmeltzer

the team is still fairly young, i would re-sign him and move JVR to the second line.

And he still have 1 more year after this. That was HUGE for Nashville. Now they have time to resign him.

Radulov is in the final year of his deal.

Every time I've ever seen JVR on the same line as Giroux, they seem to get in each other's way a lot. I think the problem is that both guys play better with the puck on their stick than hitting the seams and receiving the puck.

really?

honestly I cannot tell

I don't know. It could be lower or significantly higher depending on the type of deal.
- MJL

I think Detroit will sign him to a big long term deal. They have the space and need a player to replace Lidstrom.

all they need is Zherdev for their third line mate, then they will be good to go

If he hits Free Agency, definitely a potential destination.

You honestly think he resign? He fled to Russia for a few years and came to finish his deal. I thought he would be released from his deal after the remainder of the season? Thought that was the reason he came back.

Radulov will be an RFA on July 1. As long as Nashville tenders a Qualifying Offer, he is still their property.

Ugh, I hate doing this with a playoff game tonight... But at worst next year:

Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek
JVR-Briere-Jagr
Read-Schenn-Simmonds
Talbot-Couturier-Wellwood.

I've watched a few games with him back, he is super talented, but when he doesn't have the puck he is always tapping his stick on the ice asking for the puck. That bothers me a bit.

I still see him forcin his way into the zone and trying to make plays that he made when in his prime. He looks good except for the finish an given out depth, might be better to move on. I wouldn't be disappointed either way, however.

I would be absolutely shocked to see Couturier as a 4th line player next year.

Would actually like to see Giroux, Hartnell and Read together next year.

But my point is, will Nashville want him back after the first time around?
