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.

tbh if Patrick's strong play continues I think he should earn a promotion to the Raffl/Jake unit.

That being said I hope we see Lindblom-Patrick-Jake at some point

That would be great but I have a feeling we won't see it until next season unfortunately.

oh good. so we just eat up cap space for a 7th dman who's not gonna' play? that makes this decision even better.
- hammarby31


Much ado about nothing. The Flyers have plenty of cap space to work with and they need to have a 7th defenseman on the roster. Sending Sanheim down and calling up Alt actually saves the Flyers cap space.

Has JT signed with the Isles at all or still a UFA as of July 1st ? If he hasn't/doesn't its going to be a crazy off season

I feel like he's going to go down and dominate the AHL. Then everyone is going to say that being sent down was the right thing to do for his development. 'He needed to go down to regain his confidence'. BS.

The kid has proven he can play at the AHL level, there is nothing more to learn down there that he can't work on up here. Kid can play.

It's really not about if the kid can play but about the kid actually playing.

He's slated to hit UFA but who knows what is going on in the background.

Yeah I expect him to sign with the Isles having the new arena lined up and all but who knows. If he does hit UFA I'd think the Flyers along with every other team in the league will be putting an offer in. If you could somehow persuade him to come here man would this team be scary good.

While its nice to think about as a pipe dream long term effects would be crippling. in 2-3 years money will need to be spent on TK, Provy, Patrick a long with a few others. I'd rather bank that between Vech's Rubstov or Frost can crack the ranks as a solid center.

According to the Devils blog Hall left tonight's game hurt. Plus for the Flyers if he's out for any time.
Liking the new improved Provorov. The physical play and trolling the net/slot area is fun to watch.

I trust Hexy knows what is best for this kid and if it were hurting him he'd send him down.

Devils lose and islanders losing. Man the rest of the division seems to be taking a nose dive while the Flyers win. If we keep playing well we could get into a high seed.
