That's speculation on his part, not a quote from Winnipeg's coach or GM.

That would be like him saying, "Flyers are looking to move Hartnell to Toronto for defensive help."

Where will Byfuglien play in 2014-15? It looks like the Jets have already made up their mind.

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.

Will he be on a one or two way deal?
- PhillySportsGuy



Don't know, but not sure why that would matter, as far as a young player sitting.

That's the defenseman the Flyers should go after. The one that his Coach wants to move to forward!

They needed to win the game first. Guys asked to fight him, but he's small and he wasn't willing to go. He pulled the usual Penguin bullpoop where he does something dirty then refuses to fight anyone.

I mean when it first happened. You dont let someone crush your goalie like that and not respond immediately..

You poopty Flyers fan!

Wait, is that redundant?

Yeah, that's basically what I meant with Karma. Nothing career threatening, just something that takes a while to heal.

But he did not directly crush the goalie. I don't think it was intentional to contact the goalie.

Better, but still no. Again, taking Buff out of the equation, they still have a stronger defense than we do, so not sure why they'd need Schenn or we'd give him up, not to mention I wouldn't move Hartnell and B Schenn for those 2. Don't get why you're hating Hartnell so much.

It was actally the name talked about on TSN. Wanted someone who can keep the team motivated in games that they lack energy. Lots of peopleseem to not like the Clarkson deal and how he played since he got paid.
- J35Bacher


Thats purely speculation. They aren't going to be able to move Clarkson unless they eat a ton of money. They aren't going to buy him out either with 6 years left on his deal.

I just don't see the sense in trading Hartnell just to move his salary. He's still a top 6 forward and plays on the top PP.

Clarkson's deal is buyout proof.

I know it is speculation. Almost everything we talk about is until it happens. My reasons for moving hartnell are more proactive instead of waiting for the decline in skills. He has 5 more years left. His style of play does not lend itself to get better with age.

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

I have some wierd feeling Philly is going to win game 1. No evidence or facts. Just feel like this team has really taken to their coach and his identity and will be a tough out this year. And for some reason i think Detriot will give Boston problems in round 1.

Bad news buddy. Not with Emery in net............

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!
