How were finals?

They're starting monday

I'll be at the game on Tuesday though. The officer they're honoring is my friend. He was shot in the pec/shoulder on duty.

I don't even know what I'd do. It's not like anyone is going to give up fair value for a rental player like that, so even a trade would be hard to make.
- PhillySportsGuy


Man...sign and trade? Make sure there's no movement restriction?

That's probably what I'd do -- sign him, move him, if you just don't want to pay. Even if you keep him a season. You can't let an asset like that walk for nothing, right?

MSL was different -- older player. Stamkos is 25. Can't let him walk, I don't think, and can't just get a pick and prospect. That's one where you have to get a legit roster player, a legit prospect, and multiple picks, because of his age

I just finished. So satisfying.

Tell your friend to tell Hak to put Jake on the top line.

Woof -- see, I have the stomach for that, but I will admit it's different in a cap world, because the Flyers would still need to somehow clear, what...4-6 million?

He won't accept a deal without a non move clause I would think. I also don't see any team parting with that much unless he agrees to a deal with them beforehand. That would likely require the other team parting with huge assets and giving him $10M

I definitely will.

I have exams Monday, Tuesday x2, Thursday, and Friday.

Taking one of the Tuesday ones and the Thursday one blind. I can get zeros and still pass with Bs in the class.

I got a perfect score on one of my exams this year in pharmacology

Umby off the books
Shoot vinny
Streit...

The money will shed, young padawan

Seriously though- could you imagine that? Having Stamkos on this team?

Legit could turn into a video game scenario either by way of a ridiculous mega trade or a ridiculous bidding war in FA

Some of my favorite hockey was when the Flyers were rolling Lindros/Brind'Amour, while the Avalanche were running Sakic-Forsberg and the Wings Yzerman-Fedorov

I totally believe in the "Two Superstar Centers Scenario"

Everybody does. The longer this goes, the bigger a deal it becomes. McKenzie said as best as he can tell, they aren't even talking and no numbers have been exchanged

The thing about Stamkos playing RW -- that is a real issue, McKenzie feels

Can't believe they let that trip on Umberger go after calling 3 on the Flyers already.
