Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Flyers Olympic Update -- Day 1

Not to denegrate your blogs, because I think they are fantastic, but I am pretty down on the Olympics in generally and VERY down on the NHL Break and the NHL players playing in the Olympics. Thus, all I really care about is that none of our Flyers get injured overseas and that the rest of them stay in shape.

Edit: I should add that if, say Mez, plays great and is on display and it enhances his trade value somehow and allows us to get an upgrade, Id also be ok with that.

I think you're going to find many that read Bill's stuff regularly agree with you.

Only in an attempt to destroy the future quality of life of every young budding star player playing for our conference rivals.

or pot 40 goals playing next to giroux

Bartulis sighting!
- Tomahawk

We only seem to see his name in the buyout section of CapGeek.

BTW I'll send my dream team later. I need time to think about it.

Oui

i wish they could tack on another few years to that deal at the same rate

We have Jay Rosehill for that.

I don't think I could ever want the Flyers to sign Neal. He's a good player but I really hate him. He and his obsession with his hair. What a douche.

I hear you, but the main focus of the Flyers' blogs during the break will be on the Flyers players in Sochi. I will occasionally mix in other topics.

Bill,

Not to be negative (more than usual), but I'd be interested in some Flyers WORST lists (top-10 busts, worst UFA signings, trades, etc.). Just a thought, if you have a day without much else going on.

We have Jay Rosehill for that.

does the forecast call for any seriousness today?

He and Kris Letang must spend a fortune on hair care products.

It would have been interesting to see him and Benn both of Dallas. Two premier power forwards (although Neal doesn't generally play like one much). Add in Nichuskinov and you've got 3 towers on your wings.

Thats a good rate for him. Pens have their work cut out for them this summer. Already at $55M and they need several players to fill out their roster.

We have Zac Rinaldo for that???
