Does anyone else think the Flyers won't be able to move anything at the deadline? I was really hoping that Nashville would have reacquired him. But since they picked up that Franson, I can't see them making a play for Kimmo.

Other teams will have interest. At the very least I'm sure a team or two will call about Schultz and MDZ as well.

He will not play unless there is an injury.

Must suck being the Rangers right now and knowing you have to score at least 4 goals a game until Hank comes back in order to win

We are less than 2 weeks away from the TDL (March 2nd). Kimmo has said he wants at least 1 week to practice with the team before returning,, which puts his first possible game at Carolina on 2/24. There are 2 more games (@ TML 2/26 and vs. NYR 2/28) before the TDL. I doubt that 3 games, in fairly quick succession, without any prior games this season, will be enough for most teams to get a good feel for what he can offer them.

I was there because my date is a big Rangers fan and wanted to get one last game at NC before the move to Barclay's.

They might do it based on past performance and optimism, but the return will be heavily conditional.

Why? That's like saying you want to visit Camden at night one last time before moving to San Diego.

Perhaps if Kimmo puts up 5G, 10A in those three games

Not sure if it was posted, but here's the board that got Morin a 2-game suspension and the brawl that ensued:

Is it more beneficial to have Kimmo for a playoff push or to trade him for a piece to help us for a playoff push?

Depends what the piece is and what the Flyers' potential playoff picture looks like. If the piece is Shea Weber, then Weber is more beneficial.

If the Flyers are 1 point out of a spot by the deadline... I am still trading him.

Out of respect for him, and for future investments.

They should ask him what he wants and do their best to accommodate him.

Lightening are looking for defense and possible PP quarterback. Kimmo could be a help for them. Also Coburn(not the PP part). TB has 2 first rounders and some decent prospects. Could they maybe get a slater Koekkoek or namestnikov or Erne? I don't know. Probably not but I would be hitting up these playoff teams because they will want to sure up the d for playoffs. Anaheim lost Beleksy and Vatenen. How about Coburn and B.Schenn for a first and Shea Theodore or Etem or Karlsson or Ritchie.

Not sure if it can happen but I think some of these playoff teams might get desperate
