Don't feel like doing math.

Can we bring back AMac and Gagner now without a subsequent move? Capologists?

Yes we can...

Yes. He is undersized but speedy and creative and has skills. He's put up numbers. Could be a very good under the radar player. Maybe. He shouldn't be neglected in all of this.

He will be our new Akeson
- PhillySportsGuy


Nope. From what I've read he is FAST and has a high hockey IQ. He could be nothing but doesn't sound at all like Akeson. Plus he was actually a third round pick

Just looked it up. He's only 23.

He might actually even be good.

Works for me, though if AMac can play just so-so next year they could probably trade him if they retain say 1.25 million. Some team may be willing to go for 3 years at 3.75 per

I would've said Hexy couldn't get anyone to take AMac even with salary retained. Now I am optimistic. Who am I, a mere mortal, to doubt the powers of a god?

If Hextall deals AMac and Umberger tonight, it'll be like that scene in the Godfather where Michael Corleone tells Carlo he's handled all outstanding family business.

I like how you're continuing this conversation 30 min after he's been traded. Seriously. Rejoice. Let bygones be bygones

I guess thats true. Now they have the guarantee.

I think they should let Umberger play out next season then buyout Amac before the '17-'18 season. At that point, they're free and clear of these bad deals with the exception of $1.6M

- PhillySportsGuy


I'm actually fine with everything you just said

One of Wheels or Zombie had to be gone for next season. They had to find a way, try, to upgrade the roster somehow, and they needed the slot and some salary relief

Didn't have to be both. One works. Umberger can be the 13th forward and now this franchise can breathe again

Bill said Hexy didn't want to send Gagner down.

He will probably come back up. It was done out of necessity and to hope someone claimed him. Didn't happen. I don't see AMac coming back up right now. There's still 7 d men.

I'm hoping Luke was in over Meddy because of an impending trade and that's all.

Yeah. I actually think he's fine as a #6. If they have the money to keep him around, then just play him in that spot. He's in his "prime" so you don't really have to worry about deterioration with him yet.
