Schenn needs to be in top shape, and needs to be meaner to reach his potential.

I always felt he could be a 30 point defensive beast. Would be nice to see him develop that way.
- Feeling Glucky?

Berube and Hextall haven't been shy in telling the players that they better show up in near game shape to training camp if they want to make the team and play. So (hopefully) top shape won't be a problem. As for mean - who knows. We see a glimmer of it the question remains whether he can be consistent. Maybe someone should hit his car in the parking lot. That seems to light a fire under people, lmao...

Morin, Simmonds, and Coburn for Seth Jones

No more half measures. Blow it up.

Giroux for Seth Jones, Kevin Fiala, and a 2015 1st rd pick.

A Girouxless Flyers are easily bottom 3 so add McDavid, Eichel or Hanifin and the Flyers are on their way to being legit contenders for the next 10-15 years.

i always thought the problem with schenn was that he was too bulky(not fat) which slowed him down...

I'd rather do Giroux for Trouba, Ehlers, and a 2015 1st if we are going that route.

they could have traded someone from their top 9 (already on team) and guaranteed this kid a spot...instead they decided a second rd pick was better.
- PhillaBully

Yeah ok.

Let's not go the route where Giroux is going to waive his NMC to go to Nashville or Winnipeg.

Both Schenn's are doughboys! They need to learn to love the gym...and hate carbs this summer!

First of all, that post was a huge joke.

Secondly, he'll never be a key cog moving forward. He's a cheap #7/call up who can play somewhat solid defense. Lacks foot speed and has little offensive pop (has 2 goals, though). Basically, he's a cheaper, less experienced, less shot-blocking version of Grossmann with 2 good knees and more willing to fight.
- jmatchett383

I don't think Lauridsen comes remotely close to Grossmann as a player. I don't even know if he qualifies as a call up at this point. It's possible the writing is on the wall and Lauridsen is a career minor leaguer.

NMC always gettin in the way of my armchair GMing.

he has always dreamt of playing with weber

The Hawks top 6 is made up of all stars. They, essentially, have 2 top lines. They may have the best collection of forwards in the NHL.

You don't trade away top line talent for a player who MAY become a top line player one day.

Hayes made it clear he wasn't going to sign with the Hawks. There was no sense in bending over backwards to try and appease him.
- PhillySportsGuy

Hopefully Berube can sprinkle Rino in the Flyers top 6. Will keep other teams honest.

are we not legit?

Hayes to the Rangers.
- KGBflyers10

Good. He can get schooled by Gostisbehere for the next 10 years like he did in the semifinals last year.

are we not legit?
- 2Real

With the Flyers defense, no. And they won't be until they fix it which will take 3-4 seasons.

So has Hayes signed with the Rangers?

ESP if they send is jokinen also.

I would definitely consider this. It would be more fun to root for mcdavid/eichel than another bubble playoff entry one and done

Hey Bill,
I remember a crazy rumor going around at the time of the Kenny Linseman trade. Supposedly he was shipped out because he was dating one of the Snider daughters and Ed Snider was not happy about it. Do you recall anything about this?

I used to live around the corner from JC Dobbs and was in there one night in the 79-81 era-Linseman, MacLeish and a few other players were at a table on the second floor
No Snider children were present then.

(frank) Kevin Hayes. Give me +7 any day

- Pixote Andolini

Not sure.

We're legit, but not too legit to quit...or lose in Round 1.

Good. He can get schooled by Gostisbehere for the next 10 years like he did in the semifinals last year.
