Man that's a risky move not sure if I'd be on board but it would be interesting to see for sure. If they make any moves I want to see them add some scoring, not sure who is really available that would be worth making a move for on the scoring front though. If they can acquire someone to play with Jake instead of Filppulla, they are gonna be really dangerous up front especially if Patrick keeps improving.

TDL is rolling around, what do you do if you are Hextall and the Flyers are 3rd or 2nd in the division at that time. Would you add anyone or stand pat?
- FreshFlyer

They likely stand pat. Most teams are still in the hunt and with only a few true sellers it could lead to over payment to get someone and Hextall covets his chess pieces to much to move for a rental.

Well I have tons of friends who are die-hards, so I want them to experience it. Plus my son would be able to say he was born after the Eagles had won it.

The Flyers is the one I really want to go to, if it ever happens.

Very true , if they do nothing hopefully they give Lindblom a shot at some point. I think he could add to the depth.

Yup that's what I was just thinking the biggest addition could be just down the road at Lehigh Valley. I think it takes an injury before we see a call up though.

Not sure how much one needs to polish waxing, but sure.

I know, it's impossible to like more than 1 team from each sport.

I had no issue with Romo until yesterday when it seemed he latched onto Brady and Belichek's jockstraps.

I don't dislike him as an analyst but talks too a little too much for me. I am in the minority but I like Buck/Aikman

Maybe see if they can squeeze you in for quick CT scan while your wife gives birth to your little one.

Think they need to include Ghost and a few more 1sts?

Maybe. Which first, and any retained?

Edit: If they take Weise or Lehtera, leaning towards yes.

STL's and nope but there is only 1 year left on his deal anyway. Not sure what the Flyers cap situation is right now but I do know Patches deal is 4.5 mil so they shouldn't have too much trouble fitting him in and Flip is off the books after this season anyhow. Saw your edit and sure throw Weise in there I mean he was at his best with the Habs anyhow maybe they'd want him back

Co-signed.

Romo put himself on the map with the "call the play before the play is run" stunt, but the further removed he gets from his playing career, I'm guessing his ability to predict the play will diminish.

Romo's rise in popularity reminds me of how the internet elevated Gus Johnson to be some kind of great announcer when, in fact, Gus Johnson is terrible.

Because it would likely take a 8 year 80-100 million dollar investment I'd pass but the thought of Karlsson Provorov and Ghost on 1 D core makes it pretty damn tempting.

I do think they're in a position cap and farm system wise to make it work.

It would be great to watch that's for sure, I just don't know how they are signing Provy when the time comes if they did do that, if they add anything at the TDL I feel like it will be a forward.

In an ideal world , I'd love to see them get a center who is an upgrade on Filppula to play with Voracek but I just don't know who it would be and if the price would even be worth it over the minimal upgrade it might be.

Should probably save our 1st so we can put in an offer sheet to Griffin Reinhart.
Edit. Turns out he's not RFA save them for a Barzal offer sheet then.
