Name a top flight dman and your lines look a little better.....maybe St. Louis will trade one of their dmen

Just signed Shats and JBow
Aren't trading Piets
So the next best thing is Jordan Leopold
Does Jordan Leopold make the Flyers a better team?
No

Anything else? No top pairing dmen are on the market. Maybe if we shock Phx for Yandle that's the only way and there's about a 0.01% chance we get Yandle

I'd rather keep Read & Schenn for now, and let Gagne head off into the sunset

Flyers with Cleary, Gervais to AHL, Laughton to Oshawa, Pronger and Bourdon on LTIR to start year, B. Schenn & Rosehill on paper to AHL to get max benefit of Pronger/Bourdon LTIR exemption.

This gives the Flyers $2.68mm in LTIR exemption with 13 forwards, 7 defensemen & 2 goalies.

It's possible, but not necessary.

The trouble is, who would be dealt? I'd love to land Bouwmeester, but the Blues just signed him to that extension. They don't have a real need to move him.

The same goes for a lot of the other defensemen out there. I'm not sure Read and Coburn have the value to land a guy of that stature anyhow

Assuming he can stay healthy, this should be a telling year for
him.

Bryz is still without a team. Flyers aside, quite the downfall.

I just think there's a lot of things that are a little too fluid right now for a "big" move.

Meszaros has uncertain health. If he shows he's healthy, he'd have more trade value, or could even allow the Flyers to shop Coburn. Read being a pending UFA hurts his trade value. They're obviously unwilling to move Brayden Schenn or Couturier at this point.

Of course, since it's Holmgren, we could see a massive trade tomorrow morning

nTC's notwithstanding, they are in a decent position come TDL
either way. Not a bad thing.

Wonder if Gagne can catch on with a team. Would hate to see him as a Devil or anything like that

I could also see the Isles. They had interest in Briere. Maybe bring in Gagne like they did with Brad Boyes last season

I hope spiders invade Holmgrens bed tonight
What a pathetic excuse for an NHL GM. What a (frank)ing awful contract. And we could've had Gagne for less yrs and money
(frank) u Holmgren u (frank)ing piece of turd

Gagne I hope u go win another cup, u deserve so much better buddy.

who says we still can't get gagne
