We don't need two-way defenseman?
- PhillySportsGuy


we have a few two-way defensemen. And if we need more, and are going to pay a guy nearly $5M for more than 3 years, which is what is being bandied about, I want more than Andy MacDonald. We need to get rid of our one dimensional shot blocking, hot-potato defenseman and pick up some real talent. And we need to use our assets in a smart way to better achieve that.

So who should they get? Name specific trade targets or free agents. It's easy to say what we need. I want to hear about how we get them.

overall the situation was a disaster. but i think given what had already transpired, this haul for luongo is a good one. granted, hes making the best of a bad situation that he created, but not bad damage control.

- PhillySportsGuy


it's just as easy to sit here and comment on the trade that they did make. I could list names (Ehrhoff, Edler, Yandle, etc.; or seek less experienced guys like Vatanen who is allegedly on the block), and of course they would cost more, but if I'm making moves for a dman, those are the moves I am exploring. Andrew MacDonald is a free agent this year. He is not the piece (I don't think and lord know I hope I'm wrong) that will get them over any kind of hump. They did not need to trade a 2nd and a 3rd for him right now imo.

at this point though, they did and I'm a fan of the Flyers and so I hope it was a good move.
