Weal be gone.....6th round pick from Arizona
- nastyflyergirl


+1 for Fletcher. That's a straight up steal.

Maybe not as big a steal as you think.
Rinaldo is still a role player in the league. The Flyers used that pick to take Kirill Ustimenko. Realistically what are the odds he ever plays a game for the Flyers.

- Djapana

Odds are that most guys picked after the 2nd round don't make it, but you stockpile picks so you improve your chances of hitting...Zac while fun to watch sometimes was not helping the team raise a cup (unfortunately no Flyers in the past 40 years have)...So to get a higher chance from a 3rd rounder vs a 6th or 7th which he was probably worth was wizards work as stated before.

23 and in the ECHL, at best maybe he moves up and plays for the Phantoms
- BiggE

Agreed...he is probably a fill in for some playoff grit and fill a void if Myers gets called up.

I also think Arizona needed forwards...Weal wasn't working here, so good deal for Flyers to get something back for him...

“You are not in danger, Nick. You are the danger,” Cranston said, donning his Heisenberg persona. “A team goes down in New Orleans and gets knocked out of the playoffs, and they think that of you? No, Nick. You are the one who knocks … teams out of the playoffs, with a possible exception for the Rams.”

Very good deal, of course it was Arizona so I am not surprised. Personally I think if Arizona didn't make this deal Weal would of cleared waivers.

This is a good deal for Weal and the Flyers. Weal gets a new shot and perhaps a better role to showcase the skills he does have. The Flyers get a late round draft pick and young defensemen for organizational depth.

Nice! I am relieved Fletcher finally got this first one out of the way. Let the retooling begin!

You think this is a small piece in a larger deal? I mean the whole reason we had Weal was because we lacked Cs. Could we be getting one?
