So every team in the East that started on the road has gotten at least a split.

Yes, but I would argue Mackinnon has even more upside. And you get him for a few years for cheap which frees up salary. I think next season he will be within 5-7 points of Giroux. Its something that may look a gamble now but may change a franchise around 2-3 years later if Mackinnon is Crosby good and starts putting together 110 point seasons.

Fair enough.

I don't think Mackinnon is going to lead the league in points over the next 4 years and Giroux has. Im not trading a player like that for potential. I think Mackinnon could be great, Giroux already is great.

The Flyers don't need to turn the franchise around. They have a young core that needs help on defense , which may also be coming, in the form of young players.

Well that question is answered...


Sam Carchidi
@BroadStBull
Emery will start; Mason shooting for Tues.


Rob Parent
@ReluctantSE
Mason admits Something wrong at end of practice. Looked tired but it was something more.

Frank Seravalli
@DNFlyers
Mason said this is not a setback, but "all part of the process." He didn't look right on the ice during practice today.

Still figuring concussion?

"For the most part, I felt pretty solid. I'm getting better every day but I won't be playing tomorrow," Mason said. "With the last 10 minutes in practice, what's bothering me wasn't feeling very good. We decided we need to give it more time before I get back in there."


That just doesn't sound like a concussion to me, and I hope it isn't, but of course I could be wrong.

Concussion/whiplash. I wouldn't expect much from him in this series even if he plays.

if he had a concussion, i would hope he's not on the ice until he feels symptom free. with the flyers, you never know.
