here sometimes

lol

fair enough. I just find it humorous that because the Flyers make some moves it means they won't win Cup, but leaving a team that lost 4 straight in the semis alone is the true answer.

I'm more than ok w/ minor moves at this point. if he still had JVR, he'd have more trade chips, but that's over.

UFA should be the first step. We can pick them up without trading away other pieces. Moves (aka Trades) should only be done as a secondary step if we can't fill the gaps with UFA. (or, unless a trade comes up that is a no-brainer).

Hedberg. They drafted him come on guys think
- griouxmvp2012


I always liked Hedberg as a backup.

He's not bad & knows & plays his role well.

There is always a round 2 to free agency where teams move pieces around. Do you really want Carle at $5.75 for 6 years?
- Bayareaflyer

Did I say I wanted Carle for that? But there are some pretty good players out there that could be had. It would be stupid of Homer to not kick the tires.

A good point is that Leighton could just be signed for AHL/NHL insurance. They're thin at goalie everywhere.

If I'm not mistaken, Leighton was very good for the Phantoms last year.

Let's see if it's just for AHL duties first. Maybe they still sign Hedberg

According to Leed they want Heeter to play in the ECHL and Hoivenen is still coming off of injury. Talk is Leighton is probably AHL goalie this year.
