According to Austrian news site http://www.kleinezeitung.at, it is now official that Michael Raffl has signed a two-way contract with the Flyers: http://www.kleinezeitung....-raffl-wechselt-nhl.story

We have another Blog deletion I guess. I saw one on Briere and went back to check it out and it was bye-bye.

3 spots ahead of thomas hyka. w00t

just wait until hyka scores the cup winning goal against the flyers and delivers the kings their 4th straight stanley cup forever linking them to be in the same echelon as the dynasty islanders from 1980-83.

You have to hand it to Homer in one regard: He seems intent on finding hockey players at no cost to assets on the current organizational depth chart no matter where they played. Overage junior talent, College talent, overseas talent, etc.

Looking forward to seeing if this guy can play or not.

Lets hope some stick. Really looking forward to what Straka can do.

Stalberg was all over the ice last night. I'd like the Flyers to be in on him this summer

I thought Shaw was a beast.

On the other hand, I have lost my infatuation with Oduya, he looked lost out there.

I think Laughton can play a lot like Shaw

Still rather have Oduya than Grossman

I've watched Oduya a fair bit, and seems wildly inconsistent.

Grossmann was our most consistant defender last year. He isn't flashy, but I would rather keep him then both Coburn and Meszaros if we aquire another mobil defender.

- JAKEw1234

i wouldnt either. grossman is an absolute hoss. a tank who isnt a total liability in the skating department either. never going to be an offensive powerhouse, but he certainly isnt the problem on the back end.

For the way Lava wants to play Oduya makes more sense to me. Wish we had nabbed him at the deadline instead. But whats done is done.

I understand what you are saying here.
I'd take a healthy Grossmann over Oduya though.
Getting Grossman and Oduya over Kubina, if they could have a do over would have been perfect.
