just when i thought that lilja had a good game

I'm still kind of hoping Bryan Allen is acquired, a little more edge on the defense is not a bad thing.

Grossman fills that role, the nxt guy would be a puck mover unless it's a younger guy like schenn. I don't see us having the assets to make a significant deal for another dman unless JVR is healthy and I'm not anxious to go there.

nxt move could be a vet checking forward...maybe a center like gaustad.

I agree with you, it probably won't be a major move, you have to hope at least JVR or Briere can make it back healthy for the playoffs. I'm not so sure about another puck mover, I kind of like this defense core:

Kimmo-Coburn
Carle-Grossman
Meszy-Allen

However, I do agree with a center who is really good on draws and a grizzled veteran. I've like Pahlsson in that role.

Gaustad would be a great addition ...he was a female dog to play against in the playoffs last season

According to Gap geek: After Grossman acquisition (and including Bourdon, Sestito, Wellwood on roster), #Flyers can still add AAV of ~$2.7m http://www.capgeek.com/trade_deadline_tracker.php

So how much is Luke Schenn making?? JVR is making around 3 million I believe correct? We still have room to get someone pick giving away picks and getting a solid D-man

no JVR is makin around 1.7 i believe ... schenn is 3.6 i believe..... MAB or Gusty will be sent down as well so it could work but i doubt it would be a straight up deal

from tim's reccap:

Four minutes later, Thomas Vanek came streaking up the right side and Bryzgalov went to his knees as Vanek wound up in the right circle and beat him cleanly over the right shoulder amid an angry chorus of boos to make it 2-0.

Replays showed Matt Carle’s stick redirected it over Bryzgalov

assume the standings stay the same the rest of the year. does anybody really want to face pittsburgh in the first round with home ice? crosby or no crosby, that seems like a disaster. maybe lava plays bob in that round because he doesn't lose to them. i kid.

flyers would be better off dropping to 6th and squaring off against florida on the road. maybe nj moves up to 4 or 5 and finds a way to take out pittsburgh.

I hope this grossman pans out and they resign him, two picks in a deep draft is a lot if he turns into a rental
