I'm getting into the silly part of silly season. I actually hate these weeks before July 1.

It could. The other thing that's different is that Moore is definitely less of a question in terms of commitment and work ethic. Wellwood's bounceback in Winnipeg is great, but who knows if it will last or just be a summer fling?

True, my gut would think playing with your brother would motivate you, but then look at the Kostytsns and this past playoff.

It could. I just think with Moore, you know what you're getting. Also Kyle Wellwood is more offensively inclined, IMO. They need a guy who is going to be defensive and responsibile.

They can be nerve wracking. I try to take t the same way I take the games in the regular season. What happens will happen.

Just an update on Pronger:

Chris Pronger is currently helping out the Flyers organization by watching videos of players and attending scouting meetings. Pronger is still battling headaches and is having "good days and bad days," according to Flyers GM Paul Holmgren. It's unclear if he will be able to play at all next season because of post-concussion syndrome.

It pains me I will be commuting to and from DC this Friday. I wish I could just sit in front of the tv with a beer and nachos and watch the maddness unfold. I just hope something happens before the draft that way I'm not checking my iphone every 30 seconds for updates. I dont need to be the result of I-95 backing up

Agreed on all counts. We need a defenseman who can handle the puck a little better. Especially if Timonen is going to miss time.

The more and more I think about it... the more and more I want Toby Enstrom.

He would be damn near the best addition possible that wouldnt need overpayment. He is a UFA next offseason, same as Timonen... so he practically slip right in and take over. I dont think he will make as much as Timonen, so that is also a bonus (emphasis on think).

Yeah, true. I like Eklund's manner. He writes about what he hears, stays away from trashing others and doesn't bother engaging in the whole battle of bullpoop.

He also stays away from patting himself on the back.

I do like that Holmgren is aggressive and tries to win, but sometimes, I think that they try to hard, rather than just remain patient.

I really like the team they have, in a couple years, they could be a terrifying team for opposing teams to face.
