They flyers really need to tighten up their d. The rags would have come back and beat us last night. No TDL savior will single handedly turn things around by themselves.

Guess they get a shot again tomorrow. I think they'd potentially get a bunch of swagger back if they could get the W

It could give them the confidence they need right now. Tomorrow is as important mentally as it is in the standings.

No 3rd pairing dman will fix the defensive issues. The 1st two periods the Flyers were a mess and the 3rd they played well defensively I thought.

Even if they bring in a vet dman it's the dmen on the roster right now that need to tighten up as do the forwards.

Just get the damn puck out.

Yep. A trade will help with depth and stability, but he can't make decisions for the other 5 guys on the ice. Why can't everyone just play like kimmo, god.

What type of d man is he and what pairing pairing would he play on? Don't know much about him.

feel like i haven't seen braydon coburn in months. not sure if that's a good thing.
- OrangeBlack27


He had a horrible game last night and not only because of that deflection off his skate.

Miller's piece on Grabovski. Not sure if anyone else covered this.

He is a young puck moving dman that has a solid game.

reminds me of a young Lou Visnovski, I really think if given a shot he's going to be a solid offensive dman. he's not big but he does throw some hits and blocks some shots.

I know the Flyers need a bigger physical dman but Voynov is the type of young dman I think would be a great pick up for now and the future

Yes! Finally someone else agrees with me. I'd much rather if they were to make a trade with the Kings to trade for Voynov rather than Johnson.

I am not a JJ fan at all, I do not like his game at all.

If the Flyers traded JVR for JJ I'd be furious.

As would I. I'd reluctantly give up a 1st for JJ but no way to JVR. I'd really like to land Voynov tho, everyone keeps talking about Schenn but I think Voynov is the guy they should be focusing on.

Do you see him as a replacement for carle if carle cannot be resigned? Or would he be a 3rd pairing guy for a year or 2? Just try to gauge where he is in development.

I could see him as a 3rd pairing 2nd PP guy right away and developing into a solid offensive top 4 dman down the road.

I honestly like the kid that much.

I like Gus and MAB, but if we can make it do only 1 has to play per game, that would really help out. Still think we need a crease clearing dman for the playoffs. Soon enough we will know what we have for the playoffs.

If I could add two dman to the Flyers that I think would be great fits and realistic targets (not Weber, Doughty etc) I would like to think that Regehr and Voynov would be exactly what the doctor ordered.

That said I thought Gus was pretty solid, I like that kid. I think he may be a top 6 dman down the road.

I sure was tired after watching him turn aside 45 shots, so tired I almost fell asleep, so I can sympathize

Yeah I like him too. For the playoffs this year I want experience, but down the road ican see him as a 3rd pairing guy. Size is the only downside, but his speed makes up for it.

Hard to believe MAB was in the ECHL late last season and now he's playing a regular shift for the Flyers.

If his skating was better and his decision making should get better he could be a 3rd pairing dman as well.

Sadly the Flyers can't expect to win the Cup with two question marks in the top 6 dmen.

Voynov is a guy id like to see. Heard he can shoot and is very solid in his own end. This trade deadline is going to be interesting

t would only be for picks and prospect because its a salary dump for the kings they are hard after carter

i also seen that if they made this deal for jj there still a chance they would trade for schenn too
