I agree he is better. But if I can get Hal Gill for a 3rd vs trading Zolnierczyk and a 2nd for Gleason, I'm going with Hal Gill.

Both Gleason and Suter are due to be UFA's in July. Nothing stopping you from signing him then.

The one on one basketball games must have been epic between those two giants.

No. If I trade for him I have the chance to sign him before he hits the market where it can becoming a bidding war with another team. I wouldnt trade more than a 6th round pick for Gill (who I think is washed up). I would actually rather plug in Gustafsson than add Gill (who has plenty of playoff experience).

Talbot is having what must be his worst game as a Flyer. Seems like every time he touches the puck he turns it over or makes the wrong decision tonight.

He's by no means the only one not playing as well as he can, but he's one of the ones standing out for me (not in a good way).

Yeah, but it's nice to take it out of the hands of some of the current group

A guy on facebook worked out all the math on last night for a deal that sent JvR to the Canes for both Ruutu and Gleason. I felt bad explaining to him that if if those 2 sign elsewhere, the Flyers literally traded JvR away for nothing.

actually our other goalie has stolen about a half dozen already and actually has a shutout to boot.
- JoeRussomanno


I know there is a shutout this year, but I don't know, I think this is the lousiest the team has played while enjoying a lead.

they all look a step slow tonight ... and less than eager to initiate contact.

Gill isn't washed up. He's not that mobile, but then again, he never was. He's a big solid body that can handle a lot of minutes.

Gleason's a good 4/5 guy, not much more. Gill's a solid 5th defenseman, even at his age. Gleason's more mobile, but he also takes more bad penalties. To me, more important to not squander assets than overpay for a slight upgrade.

Told #Canadiens Cammalleri has been pulled off ice for 3rd period by team. Also told he is not hurt. A trade could possibly be in the works

That would be a horrible trade for the Flyers. And I like both Ruuttu and Gleason.

I'm not trading anybody off the roster not named Shelly or Lilja for a rental.

Thats your opinion, I think Gill is washed up. I dont value Harry Z that high when I can upgrade my defense. We just have different opinions on that.
