I've been saying this for years but it doesn't matter how bad the season is, it's always nice to beat the Pens!

Really liked Allison’s game last night. He has a lot of fight in him. Hopefully they give him long enough look.

Agree. Someone else mentioned his speed. Agree with that too. The kid can move. Had some nice chances. If he continues can easily see him on the third line next year. Even had some pp time.

Allison looked good from the highlights I saw. Let's see him pot a few and talk about which of the Js he will be replacing next season. If we can clear those two alone that would be 15m back in the trust fund! I hope TL and WA handle themselves well. We can use the new speed we have joining this team

I stopped watching the games a few games ago.

While I had hoped the flyers would lose every game going forward it always brings me joy to see the boys beat the penises.

That was a typo but I am rolling with it. F pitt!

Pitt just lost to the worst team in the east

I think Eichel, in the right environment, surrounded by the right teammates, will return to a top level. The report is a herniated disc in his neck. That might cause some concern. Or convince Buffalo to move on from him.

The debate is what is his top level? He's shown that he is a capable 1st line center. Put him between TK and/or Farabee and/or JVR and/or Lindblom...

I'd be interested.

Had 4 high danger scoring chances in 9 mins of EV ice. If the kid keeps that up, he'll be moving up the lineup pretty quickly.

Why not just let Morin play the rest of the season. They are calling up players which is great to give them a look. Morin is finally healthy , give him a chance to continue to learn at the NHL level and see if he can truly be a 6Dman next year

After watching Braun get blown by twice to the outside by Crosby and Carter, maybe he needs to have a rest.

He’s shown elite 1C capability. The injury is a concern. Flyers should absolutely have interest

If we can move Jake, somehow get Eichel and move G to 3C, that'd be no joke

To Phi: Eichel
To Buf: Voracek, Frost, Sanheim, 2022 unprotected 1st & 2023 top 5 protected.

this reminds me of the eric lindros trade...Lindros was a beast, but take a look below. The after affects of that trade are ridiculous.

Season has been over since the regulation loss to Boston on the 6th.

Hogwash! If we win out and Boston loses out, we are in. With the Talent that AV can put on the ice, this should be no problem. I have high confidence in this team!

I like Eichel but i would focus on Seth Jones.

We need to get the defense straightened up before we worry about adding Centers we dont need.

I think a factor is Eichel doesn’t want to be there.

I’ll laugh if AV doesn’t give him a breather this weekend. He’s nothing great but he’s earning every penny of his deal

We need everything lol.

I agree about going after Jones. But you have to look into Eichel if he becomes available.

Cap wise this would work fine, since the Flyers would be trading about $12+M and taking back $10M in Eichel. Its not a bad trade idea, but I would give only 1 pick, not 2. If I were the Sabres however, I would want to see Frost play before I made this deal, since Frost suffered a major shoulder injury that some players have never recovered from completely.

I don’t see why Buffalo would do this.

Or Buffalo and Columbus could trade both impact players with one another. I’m sure Jones would have to come with a young prospect center going the other way or high draft pick.
