I think a few guys will be moved at the deadline if they aren't in a playoff position:

Filppula: they will have to eat half the salary to move him to a contender, but he's the type of guy that contenders love to add to their bottom 6 forward group.

Manning: in his last year, so maybe someone parts with a 7th for some depth heading into the playoffs

Raffl: His cap hit is under 2.5 million and if he's having a good season, I could see some teams having interest

Simmonds: Some folks won't want to hear it, but if he's having his usual season, his trade value will likely never be higher. A contender would be getting a very good player for both the stretch run and the following season for a cap hit under 4 million. Hextall would be a fool to not at least listen to offers.

IF Simmonds is moved, I think it's at the draft next year.

Also, i think Manning can get you more than a 7th, if he is moved. He's a depth guy on a good team, but I think you might be able to get a higher pick than that.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Super amped for this season. Probably gonna have a fair share of bumps along the way, but we are finally turning the corner with our young guys.. Next year we will probably see 1-3 more rookies.. Its awesome to see.


One small thing, Bill has the Flyers playing tonight, tomorrow vs LA, and Friday(?) in Ana? Im assuming thats Saturday right?

Based solely on the mood of this board from yesterday, I feel fairly confident in predicting that the Flyers will go 0-80-2 for the season.
