I know about only of the 3 instances, but it seems to me that the two were completely different. Pronger was better in his own end, Hedman is better in the offensive zone.

Pronger was far tougher and far nastier of course. I remember when he came to the Flyers, some GM or the other said "Pronger was born to be a Flyer."

Hedman is dominant in every area of the ice. He is not just an offensive defenseman. Pronger was really good offensively.

What do you mean reeks? He has won the Norris once, will win it again this year, and has a cup and a Conn Smythe. If he retired after this season he would be in.

He's obviously saying the same thing.

I find myself is some way wanting the Flyers to lose some more games. In the hope that Fletcher finds some rationale and comes to his senses about being a buyer and making a regrettable trade. This team has no business being a buyer in my view.

To be fair, we’ve all heard this term. Simmonds was born to be a Flyer too.

I’m afraid he has a directive from above to fully utilize all resources to maximize this season’s playoff chances. I guess we’ll see if that is the case.

When G was asked if he spoke to team at 2nd intermission of buffalo game,, he said No, it was Laughs.

Even if they continue to win and are still within striking distance of the playoffs they shouldn't be buyers.

They won't get out of that division no matter the moves and I'd hate give up picks or prospects for that.

Mika Z has 27 points this season in 35 games. Not bad. But 15 of them are against the Flyers in 5 games!

Without us, he would have had 12 points in 30 games, which is very underwhelming. Single-handedly we have saved his season.

So I just saw from one of those flyers Facebook pages that they’re interested in Bernier? No way that’s true right?
- Ftown19125


The priority needs to be fixing the defense. Until they do that, there really is no point doing anything else. I hope Lyon gets the start tomorrow. There is a ton of distraction from this waiver of Ghost before the trade deadline. The team really just needs to focus and get the win.

I know this is not popular and it does pain me to post this, but we have to move on from Giroux if this team is ever going to take the next step. This team sorely lacks leadership from the top. After the game last night, Giroux admitted that he didn't say a word between the 2nd and 3rd periods, but instead it was Braun and Laughton doing all the talking and showing good leadership; his words, not mine! I'm sorry, though its good to have more than 1 voice in the locker room, the player wearing the 'C' should have kicked it off, and he was silent. Then we wonder why this team continually have bad starts to games, are not prepared to compete and are very streaky over the past several years.

The fact that AV essentially challenged this veterans to be leaders and didn't even go into the locker room also speaks to the problem in leadership this team has. Its time to move on from G! Next year he is basically on a 1 year $8M contract, similar to what Taylor Hall played for this year. I think there will be tons of teams interested in Giroux post expansion draft, and the Flyers should be able to get good prospects in return, and clear out some cap space for Couturier and Hart. Just my opinion, don't beat me up. Sometimes you have to break glass, or just rip the band aide off!

I don’t think flyers will breaking bank for Hart. Has not played well . Doesn’t deserve big contract. Make him earn the money

Laughton is an unrestricted free agent so will not be eligible for expansion draft

Seattle can take unprotected pending UFAs. Vegas took three of them in 2017.

If they wanted to take Laughton, they'd get an exclusive 48-hr window to talk with him prior to the draft.

Not even sure what that means anymore.

Or that I want it to mean what I think it does.

That we value the totally wrong things, how the hell does nasty win you anything?

I would be, we'd have to be a bottom 10 team to think about leveraging a position to get him though.

If we got that close to 1 do you really take Beniers? or Power or Hughes?
