That would be great

Truthfully, they could do worse than signing Mason

Yeah, I would seriously consider Mason and MDZ if I were them. Either would be a good piece for them.

Can't fault him for that, myself. If you're playing it, you should be trying to win it

Poking around the Buffalo media, for instance, all that losing they did on purpose hasn't gotten them a freaking thing and this season's results might cost Murray and Bylsma their jobs

We have argued it before, over and over. But I don't care if you draft 9th or 15th. Need to be trying to win

Lots of Tecfidera in his future. Other new drugs out there too with promise- some are infusions- it's not a brutal sentence anymore, at least. And he's got the cash.

Classy move by the Flyers to congratulate Bickell as he skated by their bench after he scored.

They could've moved up 3 spots and 2 for sure if they didn't secure the loser point

Trying to lose constantly over the long term definitely does some damage. Just would've liked to see him loosen up just a tad in the OT and shootout. Maybe throw TK in there.

Good to know, thanks. I was thinking it was gonna be really bad for the guy.

I don't know why everyone is so quick to say all that losing and Buffalo has nothing to show for it. Eichel is a beast and only just got his start in the league. They're building. They'll be fine in a few years.

Draft should be interesting. Absolutely no consensus on who is BPA where we're picking. Should be an exciting pick.

Amazing. Even while losing, they find a way to sink in the draft.

Interestingly, a new infusion just got FDA approved within the last few weeks.

Lots of strides made in the last 5 years or so. Tecfidera helps and is probably the most commonly used med for it. Like I said though I think 2 or 3 other meds in the last 3 years or so are in the mix now too.

MS patients suffer a whole hell of a lot less than 10 years ago, let's put it that way. And he can afford the drugs.

Don't underestimate the momentum that point will carry into next season.

Yup,lucky number 13.Im sure some good prospect will be there.Whoever it is, he will be better than the other 12. I was impressed with hagg tonight.Hopefully he can play like that on a regular basis.Maybe the flyers can just win games 2-1 and bore the poop out of their opponents next year.

That's the thing: Lots of teams are building. It's not zero-sum, where just because you tanked, nobody else is getting better and everybody's waiting for you to get there -- if you ever do

I certainly don't know what the ceiling is on Buffalo. But I've seen it too many times over the years, where once you let that losing culture seep in, you start thinking about where you're drafting instead of winning, you wind up in a really bad spot for longer than you wanted

Fantastic first showing for him. Really solid at both ends of the ice. Showed some physical play too. I'm excited to see more of him.
