The Flyers have always had the option of retaining the youth instead of trying to fast track their way to the top. It is always better to be a team with failed prospects than to be an aging team with cap issues. The Flyers really are fortunate that this season has worked out poorly. It may lead them to regaining some future assets and cap space and a better draft pick rather than what would have happened if they had turned out to be the bubble team that most thought they would be.

flyers needed a veteran presence on the blue line, and Braun and Nisky were that perfectly. They had a young provy, ghost, hagg. Not a lot of experience then. A second is not much for a steady blue liner, i would do that trade again all day. You couldnt get Braun for a bunch of our 2nd picks. Braun for LEberge, Ginning, and Ratcliffe might not get it done, thats a bunch of garbage for a capable player

If the season had gone to plan without Ellis being out her have been a 3rd pair and fine in that role.

He would be fine in that role…maybe even mentoring one of the young guys.

I think he wants a description of how Farabee did it... like what kind of shot, who fed him, etc. It was before I tuned-in.

It's been an okay deal but the Flyers would've been better off keeping the draft picks and finding a cheap UFA. Every draft pick you trade means one less chance of drafting a good player. Nothing against Braun, I like him as a player but the Flyers needed to be drafting and not trading picks away. I've been consistent with that.

You say the flyers suck at development. Didn't do Ivan or Sanheim any favors n that area. Threw them to the wolves. Yet when the new GM came on board the first thing he did in hi first off season was provide them some much needed help. Yet you still piss and moan. You completely over value draft picks.

What free agent could they have had? Provide names like you like to tell every poster when they propose something.

Thanks. I couldn’t find a replay. I pay for centre ice and it’s blacked out so I’m watching on line. F u nhl.

OK, Hayes out, again....4-6 weeks. The season is now officially done at least as far as the playoffs. This is an opportunity to actually see what we have, and hopefully do well in the upcoming draft. Some want to see what Frost can do. Play him at 2C for the rest of the season. Cam stays with the team. When Allison and Foerster are healthy, bring 'em up...Wisdom too. No better time to move G. Not for a player...another pick. Lets see what Fletcher can do.

The trade market is not going to develop until close to the deadline. This is really not a good time to look for a deal.

The Flyers dominating puck possession, and then the Islanders get one pinch, one pass, easy goal! See Flyers, that is how you finish a play!!

I don't care what the shot clock says. So much wasted time in the 0-Zone anyway...

And the Islse score the go-ahead as I'm typing this on their 13th shot (Flyers w/ 21).

If he would come back on a 1 year cheap deal, I would. He is not cooked.

On a one year vet minimum deal? Doubt it. He's RH and he can still play on the 3rd pair as a 6/7.

That would be the hope but perhaps not the reality...
