tweet from Seravalli

With Brian Elliott out, wouldn't be surprised to see #Flyers kick tires on goalies. #RedWings actively shopping Petr Mrazek, whom they are not expected to qualify this summer as RFA. Exact situation how Steve Mason ended up in PHI. Lehner + Dell among others on TradeBait.

Am I wrong or isn't Mrazek going to be a UFA, not RFA?

Still, he seems like the logical choice. You aren't going to get Chad Johnson from Buffalo if they're trying to shop Lehner.

4th at most for Mrazek if he's a UFA. A 3rd at most if he's a RFA. He isn't in their plans apparently and they didn't even protect him in the expansion draft. They aren't in a position to hold teams hostage for him.

I'm so confused hasn't he been their primary starter for the last few weeks? Are they just going full rebuild ?

If we can Mrazek for a 3rd or a 4th and a non blue chip prospect, I’d make that deal.
- BiggE

I don't want them to expend valuable assets either. Also don't want a 3rd goalie kicking around next season.

They can't get out of the East anyway so why go all in?

I mean not to be captain optimistic but who in the east is profoundly better than us we have no chance against ? The only team that I don't believe we can beat is Tampa and they can't seem to beat Boston over the last few seasons.

Not saying we are a lock but if we play like we have been I don't think it's out the question we could win a series

I'm leaning towards Hextall riding this one out but if he does pick up a goalie it's going to be from the bargain bin

Calvin Pickard TOR - 1 year 1mil
Chad Johnson BUF - 1 year 2.5mil
Raanta ARI - 1 year 1 mil
Aaron Dell SJS - 1 year 625k
Ondrej Pavalec NYR - 1 year 1.3mil
Peter Mrazek DET - 1 year 4mil

What a (frank)ing day. Wife’s mom went into the hospital last night and it’s not good. Of course it has to happen while we are in Key West. At least I was able to get her out on a flight tonight, the pup and I will follow on our already scheduled flight Thursday.

I could really use a Flyers win tonight, and, much more importantly, some good news from the missus once she gets to the hospital.

Hi Hockey GOD

Can you explain what the coaching staff is seeing in Weise to keep him in the lineup over a random guy at Walmart I just don’t get it.

a 3rd and veccione. do it hexy

honestly i would send a 2nd we have two 1st and a full cupboard

- bulet13


No such thing as too many prospects. I think it's insane to trade a 2nd round pick for a backup just because Elliott is out 6 weeks. Get a decent backup for far less and roll with it.

In a 7 game series? Tampa, Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh... probably the Blue Jackets. Dead heat with Toronto and New Jersey.

My opinion of course.

Is there any possibility that if the Flyers still had Schenn that they'd have a stronger team and a better record this year?
- MJL


It’s possible but we’re all merely hypothesizing at this point. Would we have seen the growth in Nolan and TK if Brayden we’re still here? I’d still do the deal today based on what I said earlier.

Too expensive imo
- Giroux_Is_God


Chad Johnson maybe? Be interesting how he plays this. I wouldn't be shocked if the asking price for mrzek or other options is too high right now and he stands pat I don't want to see anything more than a 4th go out the door.

They are also in cap hell and likely can’t afford to qualify Mrazek even if they want him.

Agreed. Sending a 3rd is the most I'd go. 4th is ideal

Hextall loves having that massive amount of picks. He might not make any move, but he prob will. I won't be shocked if its someone like pickard or Johnson as some have suggested.
