Bob McKenzie seems to think that Kevin Hayes will sign with the Flyers.
- RustyPipes


His first choice is boston and since they didn't buy out backes and have free agents to sign I think that ship has sailed

McKenzie tweeted sense of optimism the Hayes deal will get done. I agree the Braun trade smells of a precursor to a big trade for a tip 6 fwd. But whom? I wonder who they are talking with.

Rangers trade for Trouba and we get

1. Softer
2. Older

Good times!

Lol you realize the flyers are going to trade hagg or ghost and probably get those picks back anyways right. Your brain is just too small and too negative to think rationally right now.

If ghost is traded for Kadri I’m going be sick
- Marc D

So sign Hayes abd Ghost for Nylander or maybe Kapinin plus.

Well, I would look at who's up against the Cap. Vegas, Pittsburgh, etc.. and who also could use a Dman. Hmmmm

So to break down this trade. Overpayment in terms of assets, for a 32 year old rental. Not to mention SJ does not retain any salary.

Vintage Flyers. Same poop, different year. A franchise that can't get out of their own way.

Well considering Provy, Ghost, Sanheim, Myers, Niskanen, Braun, Hagg, and Morin are all on the roster, sure looks like a trade is imminent, no?

I can't think of a single reason why anyone on this site would call me negative .
Im not MJL positive but Im not Clown negative.

To this point which of the following is not true?

1. The team has gotten softer?
2. The team has gotten older?

Nope, please allow me to live in my little bubble free from the thoughts of trading ghost or myers or any up and coming dman for garbage

Rangers get a steal of a day for Trouba.

Flyers overpay for a poophole one dimensional dman in Braun. At 32 years of age and on one year left.

This franchise needs a leafs style purge. More than anything.

Wake me up when Ghost gets sold off and Hayes gets overpaid.

True - apparently we recently aquired two vets who can get the puck up the ice quickly. That is important.

Well our D corps is getting a bit older but are they getting better and actually playing Defense?

Do Braun and Niskanen add more structured D zone play and less "chicken without heads" brand of defending?

MAybe Fletcher thought our defense was too young. Two picks is a lot though.

Just a thought. With Karlsson re signed and Trouba in New York those were two big defense options for teams.

Could the value of Gostisbehere now be higher? Could you hypothetically turn him into a Domi and 15 type of deal using Montreal as an example.

Misfire by Fletcher on this one. I’ll wait until this offseason is done to bury the guy but this doesn’t bode well.

Holmgren still running the show. This trade has his ineptitude written all over it.
