Seidenberg would make the team I think

Renberg
Propp

Does mellanby make the team? Gord Murphy? he is already around so eff it lets keep him

- YuenglingJagr


Seidenberg played 92 games as a Flyer. I don't think I'd put him there.

And yet we are sure 3 or 4 of the recent draft picks will be great. I hope they do exceed past D-men picks and production

It already seems long, and it is definitely ugly right now.

Does anyone know the story of how Bob Kelly's career ended? He had a really strong season with the Caps, and then only played 16 games the following season. I'm assuming an injury?

Bob Kelly decided to retire, much like Brett Hull, and walk away.guess he didn't like the mess that was the early 80s Caps

But you wait until the deadline and the offseason when you are dealing from a little more position of strength. Trying to trade anyone now would be like getting bent over the railing and taking it backdoor jail style.
- MBFlyerfan

By saying the time is now, I mean throughout the season, not just completely focusing on the deadline. This very well could be a lost season but Ivwould make a Downie/Talbot type of trade and salvage the season and light a fire under this group. The time is now.

I would let Luke Schenn and Sam Gagner walk this summer. I would trade Read and Raffl. I would try to get Umberger and Vinny out but they're not the only ones. Mark Streit I think could be a pretty good return at the deadline.

How about an ALL TIME Flyers roster compiled ONLY of players that were drafted by the organization?
- Trainfellow

I'm going to include players from the original expansion draft that had not yet played in the NHL and undrafted amateur free agents, not much to choose from on D

If the Flyers are not in a playoff race at the deadline, I would trade both Luke Schenn and Gagner. I would not lose them for nothing. I would not trade Raffl, unless the return was too good to pass up. I would also trade Read and Streit.

I'm sorry, I'm being taken literal. I'm making the point of a complete overhaul.

People are saying it was done by muslims. Have you seen any confirmation of it?

There is no way they can trade Raffl unless theyve preemptively replaced him. You cant head into an off season with Read and RJ are your top two wingers with nothing but Straka and Leier close to being NHL ready.

I'm assuming you mean LW? If the Flyers continue to falter, I'd try and trade Read at the deadline.

For sure the attacks will get worse because of all the refugees fleeing Syria.

Makes one realize how trivial the things we discuss here really are.

Sadly, these type of attacks are going to increase over the next few years and they are coming here. War has been declared on the West, whether we want to face it or not.
