First off you have to take the gems before they become gems, like Raanta was a prize only the Coyotes were able to see. Last year Grubauer, Raanta and Korpisalo were my targets and we got Elliot. Anyway with Samsonov arriving and Holtby signed long term Grubauer could have been had earlier despite being an rfa. He has clearly outplayed Holtby and every other goalie except one in the last 25 games meaning he is going to be tough to acquire. A smart GM would have tried to pluck Grubauer in the off season. Now depending on what happens this spring, it is possible Grubauer stays and Holtby is traded, we do know yet. To answer your question I would have negotiated hard to acquire Grubauer and if the price was right he would be a Flyer. I have 40 years of experience being an nhl gm in fantasy (laugh if you want, I do not care) I selected with the first pick in 1980 Denis Savard and the Habs took Wickehheiser, my keeper is no money but in money I won 18 grand in a five year period in money pools, not trying to brag but hey man I know my hockey and I know the Flyers need a goalie. Mrazek was a desperation move by Hextall and he is average but you need a guy who steals games and the potential to be great and that would be Grubauer, watch him sometime.

Do not know what you are referring to but TSN advised the other day that in the New Year Grubauer has the second best save % in the nhl, three shutouts and has clearly outplayed Holtby.

man, the blues pulled a flyers.

Yep and they do not deserve to be in the playoffs. I hope Elliott can get a game in before the playoffs.

in a playoff series against them i'd rather face holtby over the stretch of it.

your wardrobe collection aside, would you prefer JVR or Brayden back

I would too but hope we do not get the Caps, would rather knock them off in the second round. Goaltending is huge in the playoffs, Fleury kept the Pens in it against the Caps and the rest is history. Sadly I am really concerned with our goaltending and we will definitely need secondary scoring if we want to go deep.

I am a Flyers fan who hopes the Blues lose out. I couldn't care less how many points Schenn has.

HaHa, too funny. That is a good question. I like the fact that Schenn is younger but not convinced he can succeed here where he always had to prove despite being played everywhwere except goal and D. JVR is one dimensional, an elite goal scorer and that is all. Toss up but I would take JVR to play in the top six and on the pp. What do you think?

Fair enough, Flyers fans should not give a rats ass about the Schenn or the Blues. For me I like Schenn and wish him well but it is the Flyers results that matters.

to me JVR is the better player all things considered. i dont know what his next deal is going to look like. will be interesting.

a hornqvist deal would be a steal for him, but i dont know why he wouldnt shoot for something like oshie got.

He should make some serious financial gain for sure. I think it comes down to money or a cup opportunity. I would not be surprised if he resigned in Toronto to try and win a cup. If he is a key player in the playoffs this will get really interesting. Either way JVR is sitting pretty.

- FlyerFan16

Why pass up on JVR? He is an elite scorer that was traded for Luke fracking Schenn.

I guess it depends what other options would be available. I think JVR is going to cost more against the cap that I would be willing to do.

I'm out.

We have a future 1st from them so we kinda should
