The Bond villain just got canned in Tampa

haha, I was going to call him Dr. Evil, but yeah he's gone. It's sad to say, but we passed Tampa last night because of their loss. What's even sadder, is that team is horrible and they beat us twice including our last game..(add that to two home losses vs Florida) One thing I will say, is we definitely don't deserve to make the playoffs.

Why is the word "playoffs" even written on this thread? Unless we are talking about next year. Flyers have been toast for the last month. This team can't win 3 in a row but were going to beat pit tonight? Yeah right. A major beat down is coming. Pitt 7 to 2 tonight. Be prepared

Let Danny play centre! When will Lavy realize that he is better up the middle than on the wing. Perhaps him and Hartnell will redevelop that chemistry from a few a couple of years ago.

As for the point about playoffs...I can't help it. I want them to make it still.

as we approach the TDL, let's not forget that teams can pay part of a traded plyrs salary. this might open up some more opps for deals...

I'd want that to be part of any trade for a Bouwmeester-type player.

I want the Flyers to make the PO's.

I'd like to see them win as many games as possible even if they don't. Starting tonight.

And if they happen to fail in their attempt, I really don't care what position they're in, draft wise, at the end of the year. Having the #5 pick doesn't guarantee a better player than the #14 pick.

I dont want to build a culture of tanking. If they can put on some kind of forest gump miracle then I am all in. I would still be giving the kids most of the minutes however (Schenn/Coots).

I've been pissing on the need to play Briere in the middle because he is worthless on the wing, has been his whole time here. If the organization doesnt plan on buying him out then they need to put him where he can contribute.

If they do end up getting close and missing there are still good playes up for grabs. At least one of Morrissey, Pulock, Ristolainen or Nurse should be available in the middle of the pack.

Top 4 would be nice, though. Jones, MacKinnon, Drouin, or Barkov.

That's a good plan. If you pass out before the game it might help.

Is JBo's current cap hit a big deal when he only has one year left and Briere won't be here for the 2013-14 season? I wouldn't consider trading for him unless he was willing to accept a lower cap hit on his next contract.

Under a new coach that will hopefully install a more defensively responsible system, and if consistently paired with Timonen or Grossmann, I think Coburn can be a solid player.
I would rather package Mezaros and Read for JayBo as long as Calgary will assume at least 30% of the cap hit. Since his deal is up in 2014, its not a far fetched request. Read will be a tough resign due to cap reasons in 2014, and at a reduced hit of roughly 4.7million, JayBo would be a great fit and solid upgrade.

Going into 13-14 with a D of JayBo, Timonen, Schenn, Coburn, Grossmann and either Gus or if we get really lucky Seth Jones, would be fine by me.
