bill do you think the flyers will sign michael parks?

if not any chance they can flip his rights for a pick in your opinion?

I think they'll sign him but I don't expect a ton of pro-level offensive upside. Could be a good AHL player or adapt to being a 4th line/PK type. Very good collegiate player. He lost most of his sophomore year due to injury and that set him back even into last season but he's on track again.

what did i miss?

should be an easy win for the Flyers tonight!

would he be more like a ryan potulny type guy when he goes pro?

Much rather see Manning again then Colaiacovo, thought he looked steady in game against the Pens

Any thoughts about Ritchie coming home?

Yeah. Not going to happen.

Unless the Kings eat a pooppot full of his money and take Vinny back, no interest.

If he gets bought out-highly doubtful-I'd be interested as a UFA

He has five years left after this one at $5.75 million.

Billwould you move streit at the deadline? imo his value will never be higher. Now i dont give him away. He is the one assest I think can bring some very good players/picks back.

What do you think he would bring back in a trade?

With Grossmann back, they won't recall Manning. Plus they don't have the roster spot after addingWhite for Rinaldo

I would think you are only going to get draft picks in return.

I have to agree with you there. It's a shame, I didn't think (and still don't think) his skills would have diminished as quickly as they appear to be.

Looking back, I guess Homer made the right move when he did.

I hope after Rinaldo's suspension he is either place on waivers or a scratch the rest of the season. As a fan, it would be an embarrassment to have him back on the ice wearing a Flyers uniform.

If White plays well and Laughton is fit by then there's no room for him on the team. He was a healthy scratch for a while until Laughton got hurt.

I guess WHEN they trade Grossmann, Luke, and possibly Coburn we will see Manning again. I would like to see the guy for a good 10-15 games

If I can get a late (20-30) 1st rounder, plus a prospect or 2nd rounder, I'd consider it strongly. I love Streit, but he is 37

I'd love to see him get a good, long look down the stretch this season.

would he be more like a ryan potulny type guy when he goes pro?
- rinaldo

Potulny was way more talented... but I believe Parks probably has a bit more viability as a bottom-six forward.
