That was before you lost your wheels and went from being a Negative Nelly to Ambivalent Arnie. Face it old man, you've lost your edge.

Ambivalent Arnie!?! Hey, I may not be a Hysterical Hank but I'm at least a Caring Carl.

He'll look upon you as his own dad...in a very real and legally binding sense.

There is no excuse not to sell Streit and Del Zotto. Hextall had better get something for these two.

Incorrect. We traded 2real to the San Jose blog for future considerations.

Mark Streit Interest Less Than Expected

Was just told this by a good source...
Source: Eklund


Oh great.

I figured there wouldn't be a ton of change but god damn I wanted at least one trade. (frank)ing trade Harry Bricker or Derek Settlemyer. I need at least one move.

If the asking price isn't met, then why trade them?

I'm shocked a guy at the tail end of his career that currently moves around like he has a parachute strapped to his back isn't generating more interest.

Because they likely aren't coming back anyway. Any picks are better than no picks.

Damn Dwight king got a conditional 4th. Vandevelde should at lease be a conditional 3rd.

Haha I'd be all in for that trade but they would want a lot to take him on. He'd immediately turn on jones and blame him for all their problems haha

There is also value to keeping them. The Flyers can still make the playoffs. At some point if the offers are not acceptable, then no reason to move them. There is a dividing line.

He added a top 4 dman named Radko Gudas to make the roster better two years ago, and last year he sent Luke Schenn to LA to fill their bottom pairing hole.

Well stop the press, please! Radko Gudas, cornerstone of any defense!

There are no roster tweaks the Flyers can make?

Seems like teams are throwing conditional 3rd/4th rounder around like candy.

Maybe we are like the ugly girl at the bar. We'll turn pretty around last call when teams are desperate.

You all do know that trades only have to be called into the league office by 3PM Eastern. There will be some announced all throughout the evening.
