So if Kimmo gets healthy and demonstrates he's healthy would a 2nd and 4th be conceivable or too much?

Safety first, but it sure would be nice to get more assets in this draft if we're out of it at the deadline.

I'd be selling even if they were not totally out of it.

Would have started right after the Christmas trade freeze was lifted

Mason is a good goalie, but a lousy bowler

I hear yah. I would've started 2 years ago, but still not too late to get a nice influx of young talent. Hexy did a good job getting Del Zotto, Shultz and even to some degree Cocoa puffs to help in the short term.

Yep. I'd like to see them do what San jose did, when they dumped Clowe & Murray for picks

No, just a pest. Maybe Rutherford will give me a contract! I haven't skated since 2004, but I'm a jerk

If Franson is only going to command a 2nd, it hurts the Flyers if they're trying to move guys like Grossmann, Coburn and Schultz
- PhillySportsGuy


Coburn's extra year could help. Franson is a pure rental

Could also be a hinderance. With the Canadian dollar being unstable, the cap rise might not be a lot for next season

That sounds about right. I expect him to have a lot of rust though and possibly only get us a 3rd if he struggles. I'd still be trading him either way...

But with that, having a player on a good contract for two years instead of having to worry about signing someone is a plus

Depends on who else you need to sign over the summer. There's 10-12 teams using LTIR this season, some have FAs to re-sign. Adding $4.5mm for next season might be unworkable.

Damn. Glad that team moved west. But many of their better players are getting up there in age

if the Flyers put Rinaldo on waivers and he clears can they stash him in the minors with no future cap hit? His 850K might be needed.

Yes, his salary is below the threshold.

Reports in Canada say the NHL has suspended Tim Peel for either comments made to or having his photo taken while drinking with Puck Daddy's Greg Whyshynski.

This isn't a Cup team now. Better to turn today's dimes into tomorrow's dollars, even if they somehow do reel off a bunch more wins.
