Would you give up a lot for him to run with Karlsson/Provorov.

No, because the Flyers are in a different boat right now.

Also you have to plan to pay him which is going to be close to 8 million probably. Maybe even closer to 9.

He already said that he wants big money, no discount.

Expect him to get 10+ mil a season.

I wouldn't be surprised at all at him getting 11+ a year.

I honestly think that would change with a perennial Stanley cup contender like tampa. I think he would settle around 10. Big but not 12+ he could get

No to EK, look how long it took the Flyers to build a solid team after giving up so much for 88.

Nahh I love EK but he's 29, has chronic foot issues, and is going to cost too much in both assets and cap space. Provy-Ghost pairing is all I need.
- Mordecai


That was point with Karlsson /Hedman.

It's great if you can afford, just a bit unnecessary.

I think it's a bit different for TB considering their prospect pool and such but yeah overall it's not really a move they need to make. They could probably find 1 or 2 other depth defenders for cheaper and still make a deep run.

Okay, first, she didn't "yank" it off. She removed it. Second, the article reads as though she was the only one, not multiple or the whole team. Third, I understand the disappointment, but that's very unsportsmanlike. And not cool.

Speaking of dumb, Manning is a player who has worked his way up from the AHL to the NHL and has been in the NHL for 3 years. That makes him actually good at hockey.

You can have any opinion you want of fighting it still doesn't change that Manning should be respected for how he stands up on the ice.

it took a few years but I actually agree with you.

And I respect the hell out of my dad, but I don't think he has the requisite hockey-related skill set to be a regular top-6 NHL defenseman.

Now that I think about it, you can't really put a price on the Stanley Cup.

If we were a legit cup contender, then yes.

Adding EK gives you a two-year window to go for it all. If either of those 2 years results in a Cup (or both years), then it was worth it.

At some point, you just have to go all-in.
