Hey MacDonald is still in his twenties, that's pretty young. ;-) Seriously we are not a win now team. We are just pushing for that final playoff spot as we are still better than most give us credit for. Buff is a good player, but if we were keeping players who have a potential for a downgrade in their games when our championship window will be open we would have kept Hartnel

All I can say is:

Please....no.

Yes, Buff would make the team better. Yes he is a unique talent. Trading youth for Buff is simply a dumb idea.

Bad for a long time ? I wouldn't say that. Since vinny is gone it frees up 4.5 in space and umberger is another 4.6 gone next season. I believe after that we will be a very good team maybe even before as early as next year

Are the Flyers really this smitten with Buff, he is good but he is going to want what 6 to 7 mill for 5 or 6 years, I thought they were doing a re build . Does EK room with Hex tall he has so many flyers
trade rumours. Hextall going shopping for eggs n bacon (e5) also thinking about adding milk n bread to his list (e3)

Shouldn't they be more focused on unloading and draft building...Buff makes sense for a contender and thats something the Flyers not close to being...

Unloading and draft building so in other words exactly what Hexy has been doing for the past 2 years..

Yeah, lets change that plan to get Buff though.

Let Florida have him. Philly fans are prepared for another 2 or so years of building through the draft without actively tanking.

I feel like EK at this point just does the whole Flyers/Buff rumors to try and piss off people. Good trolling sir

I love this stupid buff to flyers rumours. EK always has a boner when he talks about the flyers and makes up the most RIDIC stuff... its very humourous..

Get real ek your flyers will be bad for a looooooooooong time, stop boosting them, save the wood for your old lady, its getting old. (Pun intended)

Will the Flyers be bad for as looooooooooong as the Leafs have been?

I don't usually get on here to refute this kind is stuff, but this I'm going to make an exception! STOP!!! This 'buff stuff is getting old!! What has Hextall done since he's been here, to make you believe he will trade what it takes to land an overpriced rental, then give them a big, long, cap smashing, contract?

That's what I thought......

not sure why Buff has so many haters? he would be the Flyers best D for at least 3 years until some of the kids took over.
- Ross77


Maybe correct but I dont think they need any D-man in the next 5 years
Just 3 days ago they did have 8 D-man and a 30 million $ man (AMac) playing minor league

Well it does depend on what you mean by "good". If you have to win the cup to be good then most teams suck.

Ya, but can you not be a good team even if you don't? I'd consider Washington a great team, they haven't won poop.
