I feel like that was a rare case. Like coburn for Zhitnik
- PhillySportsGuy


Grossman, if healthy, gets you a second at the deadline. GMs LOVE having huge, tough as nails, physical Dmen for playoff runs. As part of a good D group, Grossmann can be a very valuable player who can play a lot of mins on the PK, which helps your skilled Dmen out as well.

L Schenn has 3 things going for him: He's 25 and healthy, right handed and big. Worst case, he'd get you a 3rd, but even if you have to throw in a 4th to make it happen, I still think he can get you a 2nd

Not so much anymore, eh?

At this rate, we're gonna see ECHL talent on the blueline at the Phantoms game in AC on Black Friday.

What a change for that team to get to play in a packed arena. If anything, I'm sure it's a big morale boost for some of the vets

Man, this is just the kind of situation that led to the JVR-Schenn trade?

Smart, more pro experience than Ghost and Hagg, the logical choice.

MDZ-Schenn
Manning/Alt-Schultz

Oh.

- NickTheKid87


I just....can't we just split up Schenn and MDZ? I feel like Berube is going to have to right? Otherwise that pair gets way too much ice time together...

I hope Bill or someone can get some info on what happened to Coburn.

He goes from skating with the team for a whole week in practice, to being out another month?

- Feanor


I called it yesterday. Flyers crack medical staff at work yet again.

Haha...I was just about to add my 2 cents to the "take a step back to take 2 steps forward" club...

but I guess now I don't have to.

Just hope Hextall resists the pressure to make a short-term move.

- TheGreat28


Really, at this point, it doesn't hurt to have Manning and Alt up here now, in late October and November. They are probably ready for, at least a look at 3rd pairing minutes at the NHL level. Especially Manning who played a regular shift down the stretch in 2013.

Ladies and gentlemen....

Your new Flyers top defensive pair: Streit and Grossmann

Looks like I am getting my wish of bottoming out without them doing it on purpose.

Remember when Flyers got incredibly lucky last year with little to no long term injuries to the d-corps?

Welp...

Put MDZ with Schultz or the AHL guys? Schenn with them? This is a lose-lose on the surface.

I think I saw a Grossmann - LSchenn pairing last week at some point.

Streit and Grossmann can't be as bad as that was.
