I hope Fletcher doesn't make a trade in the hopes of a miracle run for the playoffs? The expansion draft is July 21st, plus the latest salary cap, I don't expect a lot of trades at tomorrow's deadline.

Yeah that wasn't close but Philadelphia needs something. It's hard on nights where all Philly teams lose.

There have been two or three games that they won this year that would have been guaranteed losses last year. Trickle down from having a GM that knows what he’s doing versus Klentak.

I'm as dedicated Flyers/hockey fan as there is. We watched the Masters over the Flyers games this weekend. Just checked on the Flyers when there were commercial breaks. That's scary that I'm so indifferent to this team now. I just don't need to ruin my afternoons/nights by watching these sad sacks and getting pissed off. There appears to be no leadership on this team and I've been saying this through many different coaches. I've never seen a team cave like these bunch of skirts do(with a little adversity). Hayes looks like he doesn't care and people need to stop giving Hart a pass. His save pct. is a joke and that's a very telling stat. This is the softest Flyers team in the history of this organization and I have no confidence in Fletcher to fix it cause I think he is a zero! As in I haven't liked one of his moves yet. I was lukewarm about the Hayes signing, but with each passing game I like that signing less and less.

I'm so glad you wrote this, because at least I know I'm not alone.

There is no identity on this team. They are bland and without any semblance of passion. I think we have a long, long way to go before the ship is righted.

Bob Mac is reporting Penguins are close to landing Jeff Carter.

With Pittsburgh window closed why would Hextall be making this type of trade?

Experience matters in the playoffs. I think it’s a great move by Hexy.

I actually told my kids during the game that I'm not sure I actually like watching hockey any more. (Lifelong flyers fan, watch all flyers games since center ice came out). Kids said they've never heard me talk like that.
I remember when I had this realization with NBA in the 90's, and when I had this day with NFL, and both times that was it for me.
I never thought this would ever happen with the Flyers. I hope I just had a bad day.
But it feels like the salary cap just killed the game. Enforced mediocrity. Can't keep young players. Can't shake things up with trades. Noosed to vets rather than just paying them not to play. The whole thing is paper GM stuff.
Hope I'm not done, but frankly I'd be relieved not to make the playoffs.

Done deal. Jeff Carter to Penguins.
Funny how they always have cap room to add whatever they need.

If by funny you mean having the vision to build a culture and an identity, it’s enviable how this happens every year with the Pens at the deadline.

Fletcher better be at minimum unloading the UFA’s for lottery tickets tomorrow. I don’t even have faith in him doing that.

C'mon, Carter has 19 points this year and a little over a mil in salary cap for this season. Not much here. This isn't Carter of 5 years ago.

In fairness, a lot of people thought the window was closed in 2015 too.

They need a vet to teach the young kids how to stay out all night, getting loaded and banging puck bunnies.

I’m torn on Laughton. I think you could get a first absolutely. But he’s also the type of player every team wants come playoff time, we groomed him, he’s a guy you want on your team moving forward. But if we don’t have a chance to win, do you let him sink with the ship or go for the cup?
