If Nashville goes out this round they will pick ahead of the Flyers if they fall back to ROW

So the Flyers could either be 17th or 18th (likely 18th)?

except you orpik. i know the rumor is you are soff but you can stop playing wing now.

just clear it with coach guerin first. thanks.

kuni are we still on for cards later?

Max for the last time stop (frank)ing my wife.

that's basically how it went.

One does not tell Max Talbot to stop (frank)ing his wife, he simply hopes that she fathers many of Max' heirs.

I mean, really, if my wife left me for 25-year-old Max Talbot...how could I be mad at her? I'd probably shake her hand and congratulate her on a good choice.

Once the ducks finish up, yeah, I see the Flyers at 18.

Personally I'm hoping they move up 5 or so spots.

Bradford is such a baby he's done nothing in the NFL and is upset when the Eagles try to improve their team. He wants out? ok send him to the Santa Clara 49ers or he can be a franchise QB in the CFL

Based on both. The Flyers had the third fewest RS points among the teams that have gone/will go out in the first round. So the Wild will pick 15th, the Red Wings 16th and the Flyers 17th.

oh damn i didn't notice we finished with more points than the wings what a run we made

I'd gladly take Kaepernick over Bradford at this point.

i dont think lucic is very helpful for the flyers. i mean yeah he will provide some benefit, but overall, just not worth it.

when he declines, its going to come fast and sharp. and the length of the deal will take you into those years. at a high price. him and simmonds will be competing for the same spot on the PP, and he is another guy that needs to be a passenger on a line.

would be perfect to hate though.

- stayinthefnnet

He's also likely to be suspended just for breathing in O&B. And you know he'll do more than breathe. HATE THE FACE!

?

The New York Islanders improved their goaltending depth by making a trade for Buffalo Sabres goaltender Michal Neuvirth. The Isles sent backup goal Chad Johnson and a third-round draft pick in 2016 to the Sabres according to John Shannon of Sportsnet.

Guy had a great development season and has me excited for next year, but can we stop saying Baeden Schenn was one of the few Flyers who had a good playoff series? He contributed absolutely nothing to an offensively starved team with his 11 shots in 6 games. He looked invisible out there except when he was taking runs at everyone (ok....that was kinda fun lol). But he was every bit as bad as Giroux and Jake. Maybe worse. But he hit some people.

And he could have cost us game 4 when he perfectly bisected a wide open Giroux and the empty net with 27 seconds left.

You can't teach size.

He had 27 points in 49 games, including 9 goals, in his draft year. But he did have 141 penalty minutes. That is amazing. And he wasn't just a first rounder. He was #16 overall.

A fun game is going to hockeydb and looking at Flyers picks under the previous GMs and seeing what garbage players were selected solely because of PIMs. Hint: a disturbing number.

Traded Rinaldo for a 3rd.

Traded Vinny and Luke Schenn for a 3rd and some pre-pubescent boy.

Does this piss you off as much as it does me, 2Real? I am pissed.
