Ducks have gotten away with a little bit of murder tonight and they call diving on G? God awful.

If the Flyers are out of the playoffs, obviously you sell...get whatever you can for them, no question.

But if you're still in the hunt, you don't get up and walk out of the race by jettisoning key players.

Timonen might get you a decent prospect/2nd rounder, unless his play picks up. Hartnell will be difficult because he has 3 years on his deal after this one.

They've been trying to trade Meszaros since the summer. Nobody's taking him. I'm also fine with trading Grossmann or Coburn or anyone, in the right deal. But if they're in a playoff spot, it's foolish to sell pieces off.

You never know what can happen in the playoffs.

Those are all fair assessments and good points. I see your point but if were close to making playoffs and stand pat and don't make playoffs or get bounced round 1 and it comes out we could have traded one of those said players for a top 20 draft pick I'm going to puke

if that was #87 we'd be complaining how much of a flopper he was.

looked it.

G does embellish a lot, it's inevitable that he's gonna get called on it sometimes.

Yeah...you kinda need to show that, even if we don't like it. You want to know the truth.

yeah, it just pisses me off they never ever call just the dive when a player dives on a flyer, or they call the board on the flyer
