More so that you don't know who your guys are getting flipped to -- think, say, Vancouver getting Sean Couturier from us for Ryan Kesler, but Vancouver then flipping Couturier to Pittsburgh so you can take it square for the next 15 years yet not know it was coming

Stop. Nightmares

Thanks. I knew there was something there I could work with

@GMillerTSN: Vancouver retains part of Luongo's salary as part of the deal with Florida.

San Filipo just tweeted that Raffl has to be loaned to Glens Falls.

He actually has to go there to report, then he can come back tomorrow and play for the Flyers, because of too many players on the roster or something

Is Glen Falls nice this time of year?

Poor Raffl

To summarize, Schneider & Luongo were traded for a 1st round pick (Bo Horvat), Jacob Markstrom and (reportedly) Shawn Matthias #cantmakeitup

that's just an awful return

Agreed. His handling of the goalies couldn't have been much worse.

We're not mocking this enough -- that whole sequence is Mike Milbury-like

I hear its 15%

Didn't Mike Gillis used to be a player agent?

Because, he may need to re-visit that career path.

All things considered, getting Markstrom at this point, is a decent move.

The entire handling of the situation has been awful. Its been a running joke around hockey for years now

that's just an awful return

Well considering how Gillis has handled his assets im surprised he even got that from Florida.

so if you have a lot of aging guys with NTCs

and need to do a rebuild...

you hire Tortorella as the coach, piss everyone off till they demand a trade

brilliant!

i don't know torts personally but he might be a guy like my boss
he comes into a company guts out all the bad eggs then hires people he knows are good

I don't think so, per ASF

More so that you don't know who your guys are getting flipped to -- think, say, Vancouver getting Sean Couturier from us for Ryan Kesler, but Vancouver then flipping Couturier to Pittsburgh for picks and prospects so you can take it square for the next 15 years yet not know it was coming
- AllInForFlyers

Right, but Pitt would have to know that Van would have Couturier. Which means they'd have to know about the Philly deal.

Correct -- one of the teams is the facilitator, and they're doing so because you likely won't like where your guys are going

I don't think so, per ASF

They should send him in a limo at least.

Flyers trade for MacDonald?

I'm lovin it™

Despite MacDonald's horrific advanced stats, but I do know he's got decent wheels and quite honestly, I have only seen MacDonald play the games against the Flyers & the Yankee Stadium game vs the Rangers.

I'm not a fan of the price paid, but he'll add needed mobility and will probably benefit from fewer minutes.
