I mean, Hextall didn't use a protection slot on him so the GM doesn't feel the same way as the coach, or at least the way his usage of him suggests. Maybe he will be on the third pair/scratched/ahl this year.

Fair point. You worried about the goaltending situation? Trying to come up with scenarios where the Flyers tandem isn't in the bottom third of the NHL.

There is none. Unless Neuvrith has a huge bounce back year, or Stolarz is the real deal.

5 years ago?

I said about five years ago. When did Kelly get here? 2012 or 13?

Stolarz blew out his knee late last year in the minor league season. Neuvirth is an injury prone career back up.

Giroux misses Jagr
- Streit2ThePoint



YES!

Should never have let Jagr walk. What was it, a difference of 400k? And then he signs Vinnie to that monster deal a couple years later?

Flyers supposively concerned over nolan injury history. Interest in dealing #2 centers around if hischier goes 1.

I have yet to find anything about Flyers being concerned over injuries or possibly dealing 2.

His source is Ek. Apparently we're trading #2 for Fleury.

Trade the #2 (Patrick) for 3 later picks in a depthless 2-man draft?

That's like trading your brand new BMW for three 2002 Toyota Tercels. Quantity in this draft is useless compared to the quality of the top 2.

Besides, you can get a Tercel for like 800 bucks on Craigslist.
