Kane and Bogosian then.

- J35Bacher


They're not trading Hartnell.
They're not getting Kane.

Hey, are you new, or just sporting a new user name? Perhaps a long-time lurker? It's just that some of these trades look very familiar...

Either way, welcome!

He contributes more than his fair share to the Flyers discipline problems.
- Tomahawk


Yes, but I still think he's a positive for the team. I think they're better with him than without him.

I don't think its worth trading Schenn, Schenn and Hartnell for E. Kane.

And to their scoring and PP success as well.

So does simmonds. You can put another guy down low. Move Cooter to front of net then with simmonds.

Oh for sure. Like Downie or Rinaldo, there's just a fine line between him being a big net plus or a big net minus to the team.

I love the Schenns, but I'd do that in a heartbeat.

He is but he is ONLY good in a top six role. Once he becomes less affective i don't think he fits in the bottom six.

Your legs must be sore. You should probably take a nap or something.

I used to live on Wawa coffee, but now I can't drink the stuff, just too weak/watery.

not happy that Mason is not at practice. So very frustrating.

Hate to be a debbie downer but I have little hope in Game 1 now.

You think Maurice will be their coach next year?

Even if he does move, their top 3 of Enstrom, Bogosian, and Trouba is better than anything the Flyers can currently ice.

- jmatchett383


If Bogosian was a Flyer we'd be worried sick we had overpaid him. The guy can't stay healthy.

yeah, very disheartening - one of the most important games 1's in a while.

I still think today he was given off and will skate tomorrow morning. Just think it is a little ploy

So you want to trade a guy because you think his cap hit may hurt the team in 3-4 years?

That he does, and he deserves some credit for that.

But he's also responsible for some of the absolute stupidest things that any of us have ever seen a hockey player do. It was more tolerable when he was younger, but he's the old man in the room now, and he should be expected to carry himself better on and off the ice.

Just pray Mason plays. Only chance we have I feel. I've been wrong before. Boucher always showed up in playoffs. He is no better than Emery.

Ugh, I'm hoping this is just to give Mason some maintenance time and not a bigger issue. We need him on his game!
I just looked it up - Mason has only played 4 play-off games. I should have realized. He's going to need some mental fortitude - time to turn his play-off experiences into good ones!

Gotta be proactive, right? Let's trade Giroux, his play is bound to start deteriorating in 10-12 years.
