Not if the panthers are trying to move up in the draft. They were rumored to be after the #1 spot.

Certainly possible, the need to add $30 million worth of payroll to get to the floor is a really big nut. It will be interesting to see what happens tonight.

Now Richards knows what happens when you mess with Tim Panaccio!!

I am in Miami, home of the loser Heat

How warm is it there?

More Mike Richards: Said he found out about the trade via a text alert from the Hockey News

wtf is wrong with Philly - pure classless

and his Russian Mob cohorts.

Yeah that was annoying. Even richie said they made some moves that will probably make the team better. He seems distraught over it but going to LA must take the edge off
- funmaster18

LA is a super fun place. Lot of distractions out there.

Well I'm off to enforce the law. I'm in a bit of an ornery mood today. I might not be so lenient.

Enjoy the day everyone. And enjoy the draft.

There are way too many better reporters then Tim...he will need to find someone else to bully next year.

Richards will love LA..... the beach, the movie stars, coach Stevens and Murray...and having Carter over when Columbus is in town,he will have a blast

Dont get me wrong, its possible, and I hope it happens. I would like to see them grab larsson or landeskog, if not them then hamilton. With versteeg rumored to be dealt yesterday, tells me that its probably going to happen. Kinda like when Carter was supposedly dealt to CLB several days ago.... and we see how that turned out.

Im just saying they were rumored to be after the #1. If that is true, the hold up may be the flyers just waiting for that deal to fall through before the versteeg deal is official. The rumor also made it sound like FLA wants Nugent-Hopkins... he certainly wont be there at #3. So if they cant get the #1, i guess they may trade down.

Maybe he was on the beach sippin' a Blue Moon with a slice of orange with no access to a phone.

So Stamkos is quite possibly the Flyers plan. I am getting pumped. Still slim, but you never know

In the midst of yesterdays craziness, there's one question that I haven't seen addressed: What about Bob?

I think Pronger is the mastermind behind these trades

Read the same rumors you did about wanting FLA to acquire #1 overall. Its just been such a crazy ride so far, I just don't feel the ride will end until after July 1st. I'm looking forward to tonight.
