Happy with the deal and liked hexys rationale. Gotta support the guys who've worked hard to get into a playoff spot.

Talking to some knowledgeable friends who are leafs fans (oxymoron) they're saying it's a great trade for Philly. Think we should keep him to pair with Elliott.

With it being Lindblom being called up we know it's top 9. Which is what I think is scaring us all as this team is looking great since the top 9 was tweaked.

It could be possible Hexy tries another deal to improve 4th line / PK where a player such as Raffl gets bumped down and Lindblom pops in the top 9. Injury is very possible but I’m leaning more towards a trade with Mrazek’s contract 50% retained

Hexy mentioned a possible injury during the recall announcement. It's why I'm worried who it is. Bill says might be Raffl who's had a nagging injury. That would probably be best case in top 9.

I'm hoping they trade his rights after the season.
- YuenglingJagr

I can't see any takers in that trade. If the Flyers don't qualify him (which I really hope they don't, considering the price tag for a QO), anyone will be able to negotiate with him on July 1.

Honestly, I don't really know how negotiations work in this situation. Can you can negotiate an extension with lower cap hit to a RFA while they are still under contract?

Omg. That was a fun game except for the neuvy injury haha. 3 fights and we drop 7 on the queen. Reminds me of 95 when we started destroying the rangers for like 5 years.

Let's be optimistic and say that there's no injuries and they just wanted to add some depth to our top 9 for the stretch run. After watching Weise get his face smashed and all value to him diminish with it he decided to move someone to 4th line and give lindblom the shot

A pending rfa rights can be traded and they can negotiate a new deal. He has to play his way into being tradeable imo. Nobody going to give us much more than a 5th otherwise

I didnt think so. I'd have liked to have seen Simmonds drop at least thirty or forty more punches on DeAngelo.

Also, I am pretty convinced they resign him and let Neuvirth go via trade/buyout.

Do next season with Mrazek/Elliot, season after that with Mrazek/Hart.

My only wonder is what will be the term for Mrazek. Max 3 years?

- MBFlyerfan


Does the condition only apply until June 30th? If the Flyers were to let him become a UFA and then sign him on July 1st at the start of free agency, does the 4th still become a 3rd?

I'd like to think that Hexy trading these two picks to upgrade the roster would shut up the "BAD GENERAL MANAGER RONALD HEXTALL WON'T EVER TRADE DRAFT PICKS" people...but sadly, I know it won't.

Oy, I doubt these conditions are met, but phew........


- MBFLyerfan


I expect the Flyers to make the playoffs so I think the condition for a 3rd this year will be met.

I'm still surprised that Tony (whatever happened to "Anthony?") DeAngelo was stupid enough to go with him.

Nope. The narrative now shifts to "SAINT RONNIE TRADES VALUABLE PICKS FOR CRAPTACULAR GOALIE WHO EVEN A NON PLAYOFF TEAM DOESNT WANT. OMG WTF RAHNOLD HERXTALL WAI YU DO DAT?"

I think he got too far into the situation without an exit strategy and then simmer gave him one
