Really? I don't even know what his injury is

He shattered his heel bone. Apparently it was a bad break

Broken foot I believe

We should sign him. We'd have the best LTIR pairing money could waste!

well we cannot go with the same d corps in the next season and expect better results
pitkanen or quincy might help with the break out
the others might be good replacements for someone like mezsaros

also i'd look to trade timonen at the TDL for a young d man prospect if possible
we need to think about the future of the defense and not the now

- 2Real


How can you trade Timonen if the team is in the playoff hunt? He wouldn't accept a trade anyway.

Well before the season began they said he'd not play this season so I'd say it is bad.

Can't tell if you're serious but I don't think he's played a regular season game this year

Quincey maybe? Does he have outlet pass capability? I know I'm watching him right now but I don't see much of him to know for sure.

Don't forget though we have Baby Schenn to worry about

I have no interest in any of the UFA dmen. Would rather see them make an offseason trade for a legit top pair guy and continue to develop from within

It's been a little less than a calendar year. I can't find much of an update on him. All I see are the reports that he's out for the year

there's a risk involved with signing any player
you have to balance the risk/reward vs team needs

In September they announced he'd miss the year.

I would consider taking a risk on Pitikanen for the right price and term. It would be a high risk high reward situation but it could really help us.

Develop from within, the cost to acquire one will leave them with more areas to fill

signing pitkanen would cost us nothing other and cap space which we'll get a little extra of after this season

now if we trade for a dman he could take a puck to the face and we're out the assets and the player

Hard to complain when the Flyers just collected two skills competition points in the last 3 games.

The Flyers won't be the only ones with the idea of signing Pitkanen as low risk. When healthy, he's the best two-way dman on the market.

it's not good for the Flyers either way. Now that regulation is over, I could care less of how it ends

The 3 point game is bad for us in the standings, but an OT winter classic is so fun that I think I'll get over it

Winter Classics have been very good games. I don't ever recall a team winning by more than 2 goals
