Flyers are gonna be all over that
- griouxmvp2012

Maybe, but I doubt they do anything soon. I dont think theyd want to be delayed in FA waiting for the match/no match uncertainty. Isnt that how we lost Jagr?

So Alex Pietrangelo won't even entertain an offer from StL that begins with a 6; hoping for an offersheet; #STLBlues have said they'll match
Retwe



Is it really a surprise Pietrangelo wants a deal in the 7 mil cap range?
- aosplayo

not at all

I wonder if it will turn into another PK Subban like situation

i know man, HOW COULD HOMER PASS ON OLLI MAATA?!?!?

not to try and push this conversation towards a bad area, but the thing that irks me about the streit signing is that the money is pretty damn similar to what carle got. and i think carle's a better fit for this team (and hey, you know, the whole familiarity thing). and he's what, seven years younger?

maybe the shot from the point/pp skills actually turn out to be a huge boost for the flyers, but i personally think the carle contract is preferable to the one streit just signed

I think the Streit signing is more for two years down the road when Kimmo retires. He's a PP specialist. They will need him.

The Oilers continue to push hard on potential deals. Sources say Edmtn is aggressively after B.Cobourn.

Yes yes. Make them desperate. Send them flowers and say "Oops, sorry those are for the Flames"

I thought Maata or Thrower made sense. I don't really get critical of the draft picks. I don't pretend to know about these kids. I only know what I read about them.

i'm sure they wouldn't budge from the seven without getting the 11 back (which is a bad move for the flyers unless something else is coming back from edmonton) but does anyone know how high they are on that klefbom kid? the scouting reports paint a pretty enticing picture, imo (but i guess they all do )

I really applauded them when they decided to move on from Matt Carle given what he signed for, but the Streit deal is an about face after that.

I know they badly need Streit's skill set but sheesh now they are in cap trouble again and have to move Coburn to sign a goalie?

Bye bye coby

I'm thinking Holmgren will ask for Yakupov, or Hall, but will end up settling on an Eberle, Schultz package.

i hear ya man. it's hard for me to criticize the draft as well. i remember thinking "who?" when the flyers drafted claude giroux

They don;t need to move him to sign a goalie. They can sign a guy from 2M. Plus they still have Prongers LTIR if they need it

They have great success drafting forwards. Which makes me think Laughton is going to be a player. Defense, and goaltending not so much.

I don't know what is happening to me, usually I am very positive.

Maybe it's the fear of the unknown.

Once the moves are made I'll find the bright side to them.
I really like Streit, hell of a good player (3 years ago, anyway)

you will feel better when Hexy takes over

Was Hexy there when they drafted Hickey over Alzner?
