2 points in his last 3 games. Sell while his trade value is the highest it's ever been.

If they traded a forward, it’s hard not to think it’s Raffl. Or Filp. Just a hunch.

There isnt. That's why I think they are working on the details for another move. I think we will see a new goalie be for morning.

Or Neuvirth is ready to play.

Could be anyone in the bottom six really. If ARI made Raanta available for Laughton I'd probably consider it.

Maybe.....just seems like that is a long shot right now. Have to imagine if that wasn't the case they would have said it was nothing

No. I think laughton is finally finding his game. For some reason I keep thinking it could be raffl, weal or weise. I also have a hunch it won't just be a goalie coming to the flyers. Maybe a depth defenseman.

I don't see it being a center. Raffl is probably the best guess.

Oooof. That’s steep, which is probably why it’s fair.

Even if he is, I'd still be looking.

Excited to see Lindblom. Hoping not to see anyone in the top 9 gone. I hope it's one of Filp, Lehtera, Weise and Leier.
- FlyerFan16


I cant see their being room for OL unless something else is about to drop.

I wouldn't be thrilled with it. There's three other bottom six players I'd certainly rather move but you gotta give to get.

I'm kind of tired of Raffl tbh. If they can get a goalie for him great. I'll be excited to watch Lindbolm step in that role.

Raanta better be signing an extension if Laughton is going the other way.

With indblom up does raffl slide to the 4th line? Wonder where they see him. Last game simmonds and weal switched lines.

Looks like something is going down, it will be interesting to see who is going.

Probably a stretch but maybe this means Simmonds is leaving.

One would think that would be a huge stretch, and the return would HAVE to be more substantial than a rental goalie.

That makes no sense with the Flyers moving up the playoff rankings.

If it would be simmonds then the return could be anything. But not sure simmonds would be used in a trade for a goalie unless you were getting some young players too.

Moving Schenn didn't make sense either but can't say no offers are can't say no offers.

Not that I think they should move Simmonds right now anyway. I'd do it at the draft if at all.

Moving Schenn if the off season is different then moving SImmonds in the middle of a playoff drive though.

Pains me to say it but if you could get a really good return for Wayne at the draft, like you said, they should consider it. God I hate saying that..WayneTrain is one of my favorite all time Flyers.

Agreed. Just throwing out a hypothetical with that one. If there was a bigger deal that made them better while not undermining the future like Hextall always says, Simmonds leaving to a team shooting higher right now for a good goalie in return and/or prospects could be that kind of deal.

I still doubt it though myself.

If it is DET, I have to believe any forwards going back would be cheap and signed for next year. Taking Hexy at his word, Lindblom should be coming up to fill a top 9 role.

I gotta think Lindblom is 4th line. I mean he's probably suitable to be played higher but I would think Hakstol wants him to earn his TOI.
