No? Look at the players he has added in the last few years. How many players are left from the team that went to the Finals in 2010?

Voracek has rebounded and turned the poor start into a very good season.

That wouldn't be really shielding him.

Why not at this pointin his career Timonen should be a 3rd pair pp specialist. The fact that he is still at age 38, the Flyers top Dman says volumes bout their D.

He'll get another or a few based on all these junior games I'm watching when they draft.

We can agree to disagree Peanut. Still respect your opinion. And we generally agree on most stuff.

That's a good thing to be honest.
He swung for the fences and we all hoped he won with Weber..he tried with the other 2 UFAs and it didnt work out.
I am glad he didnt rush into anything else once it was clear this season was a washout.

I think they could land players with seriously good promise into the 3rd and after that the scouting will really take over with whomever they select.

Im in favour of really focusing on the draft to build this team the right way.

At the same time its peeing in the wind. Looking at the back-side of a girl only to have her turn around and be 40. It happens.

Potential, and picks, aren't anything really.

Do the Flyers still have this years 2nd round pick? I thought they moved it in a deal last season.

I don't care how old he is. He still plays at a level well above 3rd pair. And they're paying him 6M next year. Timonen is going to be used in all situations next year, and used a lot. Look at how Boston is using Hamilton. Lots of offensive zone starts. Keeping him away from top lines. Hard to do that with a young defenseman if he's going to be paired with Timonen.
