Using a protection slot on a mediocre #6 journeyman type who you often scratch would be a complete waste of an asset. I hope Hextall is savvier than that. And he is.

So who would you protect? TJ Brennan?

Hopefully he turns an extra forward into a defenseman (that is an extra on another team)

Well, none of Provorov/Morin/Hagg/Sanehim need protection. Schultz, MDZ, and Streit and pending UFAs. Ghost and Gudas both need protection. AMac shouldn't be protected. Who is the better choice right now?

Yeah, if we can flip a deal for Ryan Pulock with Laughton as the center piece, go for it. Actually, I'd inquire with Pittsburgh about Pouliot.

I doubt that trade would work...but if a team has too many guys for expansion, they could trade someone before they lose them for nothing.

now im in a rabbit hole

That was cool. But I half hoped it would end up just as nonsense abstract art that no one understood

Pysyk on Florida is a name I like as a young RD with shutdown abilities.

Interesting thought with Tampa in crunch. Would you trade back cheaply for Coburn? Can play RD easily, 2 more years, and his underlying numbers are great again.

I would take Coburn back. He doesn't get my rocks off, but they could do worse

Eh

Disrespectful to the anthem
What he painted while singing sucked in comparison to the pre-painted portion
What's the big deal anyway? It's probably harder to drum and sing at the same time.

Stop hating things

He has done it here. And John Scott did ok
- dragonoffrost

I know he does it for the Flyers, but not particularly well. John Scott...wow!

I wouldnt mind Hickey

would kick the tires on someone like Koekoek and Nesterov, Mueller...I dunno there are a lot of guys I would be willing to take a chance on over Manning. I would LOL if LV decided to pick Manning

Stop hating things


- jmatchett383

lol

I love stuff

Just not crappy stuff like that

I mean, I wish I was a better singer, so yeah, props to him for getting that gig but the combo singing/"painting" doesn't impress me at all

Manning is a cheap, relatively young, homegrown guy who can play bottom-pair minutes. He's nothing special, but he's 2 steps ahead of Bartulis/Parent/other guy.

What a farce that was...aren't they making a movie about it now?

Hey, I said you're a good singer

also, lol, that's funny

I hope not

Dudes,

Let's hope Girouxdini's greatest disappearing act in the NHL lasts at least one more game and Gostisbehere continues to live up to his nickname. Thoughts of Ghost being a flash in the pan has got to be running rampant in Flyerland.

He is a waste of a protection slot. They aren't picking him anyway, and even if they do you thank him for his services and enjoy watching him play McDavid more than twice a year

edit: and laugh at them for not picking someone better

yes, take the under on "someone"

yes, no one

I know that LV taking Manning is a pretty big stretch, but at the same time, if you don't have any better options (at present), why even entertain the risk?
