What ever happened to Jack Skille ? As a 19 year old the sky was the limit.

Yeah I remember seeing flashes of promise with the Hawks. 7th overall pick. Haven't seen much of him lately because I believe he was injured. Maybe a change of scenery with a playoff contender would help.

Does it really matter? Anybody who watched the western conference playoffs, especially the Blackhawks Kings series, and thinks the Penguins or Flyers are even remotely close to being contenders is fooling themselves. The Flyers need impact players not the the 2nd level junk that's available in free agency these days and they can only be obtained thru the draft or thru trade.

Ehrhoff is a top pairing player. He's a legit #2 defenseman. Would have worked well with Coburn. Maybe they clear some cap space and take a shot at him next season.

If they can just move Vinnie and maybe sign B Boyle and re-sign Emery, I'd be totally alright with it.

Perfectly happy with that. Same with Fiddler or Vrbata.

I just want this LeCavalier thing to end. It will be a circus if he stays having to constantly read/talk about.

He's a turd at this point. Just find a way to dump his ass out to the back lane.

Valuable role player on a 4th line. Always liked him in Dallas.

I am kind of hoping maybe they get Brian Gibbons. Guy can fly and kill penalties. I know he is small

Interesting that for the first time in probably a decade the flyers don't spend July 1 throwing around the equivalent of the Pennsylvania GDP and people are still upset.

Not to mention, his impression of Kevin Bieksa is spot on!

I've always liked Ott. I like having a fourth line that can compete.

If he can sign a reasonable deal I'd be all in.

OK, somebody put a gun to your head:

Stoner @ $3.25M x4 or Engelland @ $2.9M x3?

What do they care? They need to reach the floor. It's not like they're right up against the cap like the Flyers.

I'll take Fiddler over Ott, especially when you figure that Fiddler will cost about half of what Ott will cost.

Stoner, but that has more to do with watching Engelland a lot and thinking he's a horrific defenseman.

Looked up his stats... if he could replicate those here he would be a gigantic upgrade over the likes of Hall and Rinaldo.
