With the Nashville win last night, we lock up # 17 at the draft right?

Can't say who I heard it from, but I've been told the Flyers will attempt to trade for Chara. No idea what they're offering, though.

No. Draft order is based on regular season points up to the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. 27-30 are reserved for the conference finalists, but for the other 26 teams, they are seeded 1-26 based on regular season points.

Firstly, go pens
Secondly, what players do you think you shed in the offseason?

Love Hextalll, just don't understand comment about Read playing well over last 2-2 and half months?????
He had a bad year. Period. He did say he could do better, I wouldn't mind if he was dealt.

AMac, Umberger and a 5th round pick

I think the Flyers would like to shed:
Read (via trade)
Streit (via trade)
Umberger (via trade or buyout)
Andrew MacDonald (via trade)

In reality, they'll probably buyout Umberger and trade Read at some % retained and call it a day.

It's the kind of thing you say about a player you are hoping to move.

Just can't wait for Read's agent to go public with a trade demand if the Flyers draft a winger.

Id almost go as far as saying Amac may be easier to trade than Streit. I mean, probably, but Streit just looked downright bad. hopefully we can get one of them traded, that would be great.

AMac has more value if it wasn't for his contract length. Streit was bad, but it's only for one year, and a team may take a shot on him returning to form if the price is right (late 2nd/early to mid 3rd).

Def Read and Streit #1 priority. Try to package Streit with pick or prospect, and it shouldn't be a problem to a team like Arizona.

I would think that hextall would make it imperative to trade or buyout umberger or macD, but I doubt he would actually buy out macD, right?

Buying out Andy MacDonald, at this point, would be terrible cap management. It is what it is for the next 2 years at least, then you can explore it.
