Well did you accept the deal on Hextall's behalf or what?!!! The suspense is killing me.

No. Schenn's potential is too good to pass on

Not a fan of Umberger either. Has not done anything and as I stated before Bellemare should get more ice than him. They are not even close when it comes to overall performance this year.
I would love to package Read and Schenn but I really have no idea what that would get us.

I like Bellemare too but Vinny belongs in the 2C spot. He has played well this season (when healthy). I really dont like Umberger on his LW. Bad idea.

I'm sure Dallas would love to move Jordie Benn for Sean Couturier. They heard the Flyers need defensive help.

If they need help on defense then why would they want Luke Schenn?

L.Schenn is on his way out IMO. He has actually gotten worse since his days in Toronto. He was faster and played more physical at least.

It's funny because you may think he sucks but i bet there are teams out there might like him or wht he brings. He hasn't been as bad as people portray him. Because he hasn't lived up to the number 5 pick he has been labled terrible. But he has spurts where when he plays within himself he is a solid defenseman.

The part that bothers me most is about how they lose the puck in the crowd because its so dark off the ice.

Fix the issue.



- MBFlyerfan


they had a similar issue with the netting behind the glass when first installed. so they changed it. maybe there's hope.

what would it take to get Matt Moulson out of Buffalo?

He's doing absolutely nothing out there so far, and is signed at a reasonable 5m (a hair more than RJ's hit) for a 1st line LW, and I think he would post big numbers playing with Jake and Roo.

I'm all for getting another ex-Islander on our team

Bill doesn't usually call out decisions/players/coaches. This is news.

In all honesty, this team just isn't good enough. When you look up and down this line up all you can see are players who are usually playing for lesser teams except this is our team. This is now that lesser team we used to look at.

jesus yes.

ill still say spelling is close enough.

but the nikita is a damned poopty attempt at alliteration. and probably subconsciously influenced by the defender nikita nitkinin.

but that was a pretty bad lapse.

interesting tidbit, i named my boyhood dog nikita haha
