Sounds like Fletch is who they had in mind as soon as they decided to axe Hextall.

Their mindset is probably “unless someone else blows us away, Fletch is our guy”

it would be epic if they actually hired Cliff

That's was Hextall's plan.

Minus the trading of star players, yeah it pretty much was.

Yeah, Jimmy Howard is how old now? Thats throwing away a prospect for a rental when the team is nowhere near competitive.

Do you think Hextall had to ok Gritty? Doesn't seem like he'd allow it.

I'm sorry you missed the NYI 2nd round pick....

If you think that was giving away Rubstov then the value of Rubstov must be McDavid high.

a former 1st round pick is certainly worth more than an old goalie and a 2nd round pick

Despite his age, he's a UFA. I don't think there is going to be a big market for him at the deadline. Why give up that good of a prospect. Don't need to.

I'm sorry that you think I missed the Flyers getting that pick back. Still a bad deal.

Clearly this is all the evidence we need to prove that Glak is Mike Milbury.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but:

Bill Meltzer will be on 97.5 the Phanatic at 6:30pm.

They are currently all Flyers at this time. Bundy is on right now.

Now that's an insult!

Rubstov would NOT get a 1st round pick in 2019 or 2020 in return, yet is too much for a, how can I put this, for a goalie who is easily better than anything the Flyers have had since...BOB AND at his current old age.

PLUS a 2nd!

You guys have lost your privilege to watch the Flyers lose Saturday. Please turn in your cards.

You've made a really poor argument. Rubtsov by all accounts before getting injured was playing really well. He is a really good prospect. There is simply no reason to pay that high of a price for a goalie who is about to become a UFA. The 2nd back doesn't change that and I anticipated you making that argument. Howard is not a huge upgrade over a healthy Elliott. I think at this point he may bring more stability and can play more games than Elliott, so that's a plus.

Sorry Hexy let me let you get back to work...oh wait that's how you lost your job.

Ok then we need to trade Simmonds ASAP for a 4th round pick, not getting more than that for a UFA.

Umm yes he is. Remember he plays in Detroit. It's not like he is some overrated turd playing in front of the San Jose team.

And you state we have to turn in our cards!


The market for a goal scoring power forward who happens to be 4 years younger will be much better at the trade deadline than for a 34 year old goaltender. Pretty much every team who feels they're in the hunt will have interest in a player like Simmonds.

Didn't say anything about him being overrated. He's not a huge upgrade over a healthy Elliott. I'd have interest for sure at the right price but not for Rubtsov even with the 2nd back.
