I thought they'd have no effect on it either way since they're UFAs. How would it lessen it? I admit I'm not all that familar with the tagging rule past the basics of it.

Expiring contracts create tagging space.

Flyers have a 10% chance of making the playoffs. I'll take it.....

I'll bet you $10 they don't make it.

Not interested.

Much rather send them read and a dman

What about Thomas Greiss out of SJ? He is a UFA is 27 and has very similar numbers.. Dont have to trade anything for him...
- jak521

he'd be ok as a b/u, but i don't see him as an alternative going forward, which is how i want to approach this.

I'll bet you $10 they don't make it.

With the current team or with changes made after today?

John Moore from Columbus could be available today, too.
- bradleyc4

kulikov might have more potential, but I'd agree we need to start moving these guys into our org.

After the additions of Streit, Luongo, and Yandle and the loss of B. Schenn, Read, Couturier, Voracek, Gustafsson, and Simmonds, they're a lock!

could be wrong, but if couts moves, i'd think it would happen in summer. so-called regular hockey trades can happen at the TDL, though that's usually not the case.

Look on the bright side.

You'll always have the playoff hat trick.

I a bit scared with all the Yandle stuff....I can handle dealing Coots, although I view that as a mistake, but this years first could cripple us for years and I hope they understand that......desperation make GM's do stupid things

Umberger,Upshall,Lupul,pronger and Richards

on another note, the remaining top 10 college UFA's

1. Antoine Laganiere — RW — Yale*
2. Drew LeBlanc — C — St. Cloud State*
3. Eric Hartzell — G — Quinnipiac*
4. Ryan Walters — LW — Nebraska Omaha^
5. Rylan Schwartz — C — Colorado College
6. Eriah Hayes — RW — Minnesota State
7. Jeremy Langlois — RW — Quinnipiac*
8. Pat Mullane — C — Boston College
9. Alexander Krushelnyski — W — Colorado College^
10. Parker Milner — G — Boston College

curiosity, if an underclassman is not drafted to date, can he still be drafted? Like say TVR....say he stays in college another year, can someone still draft him despite being older?

Carter, Richards, JvR, Pronger jerseys... Carcillo shirt.

If I do anything related to the players or their namesake they are gone in no time.

The Flyers making a trade with a core, young player like Couturier today is the rough equivalent of losing all of your NFL bets on Sunday and doubling down on the Monday night game, even though it's a horrible game to bet.
